Turkmenistan Preview – Can Turkmenistan put a spanner in the works?
Turkmenistan have only one more match remaining in Group H as North Korea pulled out of the Asian World Cup 2nd qualifying stage, but the hosts can still make life difficult for Lebanon in this upcoming World Cup qualifier.
The hosts sit in 3rd place in Group H but are unable to make up any significant ground on 2nd placed Lebanon as they trail their visitors by a four-point margin with just one game remaining of this campaign, and they head into this clash on the back of a heavy 5-0 hammering away at South Korea.
Although Turkmenistan have won four of their last five World Cup qualifiers at home, the hosts have won just four of their last 10 games at home and they lost their previous meeting against Lebanon 2-1 away from home.
Lebanon Preview – Can Lebanon finish in strong fashion?
The visitors will need to do so if they’re to overhaul the current leaders of Group H, South Korea, as they sit level on points with their rivals and will be keen to grab an all-important three points here on Wednesday morning.
Victories over Turkmenistan 2-1 at home along with home and away wins against Sri Lanka have helped Lebanon into 2nd spot on goal difference but to make absolutely sure of their place in the next qualifying stage, Lebanon really need to win this encounter.
Lebanon have struggled away from home at this level though, having collected just one away win from their last 11 matches, but they held the upper hand over Turkmenistan in their previous meeting.
