Palestine advanced to the knockout stage undefeated, winning two and drawing two of their four matches while Syria were beaten 3-0 by China PR between wins over the United Arab Emirates and Timor-Leste.
Nothing much separates the two sides but Palestine having played one extra match in the group stage may make a difference.
