On that occasion, China managed 42% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 1 on target.
At the other end, Saudi Arabia got 11 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Hassan Kadesh (39', 90') scored.
🔮
Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Saudi Arabia have it within them to be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.
However, China may well find it hard getting on the scoresheet although we do reckon that they could well end up being dangerous for periods.
We can therefore see a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for Saudi Arabia at the end of the 90 minutes.
