Preview - Group C: Saudi Arabia v Iraq

Doha: Saudi Arabia are gunning to finish their AFC U23 Asian Cup Qatar 2024™ Group C challenge with a perfect record when they play Iraq at Khalifa International Stadium on Monday.

Six points from their earlier two matches mean Saudi Arabia should progress to the quarter-finals but head coach Saad Al Shehri wants the defending champions to maintain the momentum that saw them scoring nine goals past Tajikistan and Thailand.
 
Finishing top will mean a quarter-final against the Group D runners-up but Saudi Arabia will face Iraq without the services of suspended midfielder Eid Al Muwallad and right-back Mohammed Waheeb.
