Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Lebanon vs Syria
Lebanon still have a slim chance to clinch the third spot from UAE and qualify for the fourth phase. In fact, the Seders win their remaining two games and the UAE lose two or more points in theirs, Lebanon will finish third.
However, that is easier said than done as the Lebanese team travel to Tehran to play a strong Iran team in the final match. Obviously, coach Ivan Hasek has a big problem with his team’s scoring abilities. To point out, Lebanon scored five goals in eight games in the third phase which is a very weak record. Incidentally, three of those goals were against Syria.
With two points from eight games, Syria is the weakest team in Group A. Notably, the Syrians’ weak point is their defense as they conceded 15 goals during the eight fixtures. Moreover, the Qasioun Eagles have no clean sheets in the third phase of the qualifiers.
Syria were completely outplayed by South Korea in their last match when they lost 0-2. Moreover, coach Ghassan Maatouk’s had 38% of ball possession and no shots on target. Offensively, Syria share the same record as Lebanon in terms of scoring but they usually find the target against the Lebanese.
Lebanon vs Syria Prediction
This fixture usually is usually very high in tension as both teams want to prove themselves to be better than their neighbors. We expect an open game as both teams have nothing to lose but in recent games, Lebanon are showing better performances despite losing.
As a result, we predict a home win but will combine it with a draw and over 1.5 goals to have lesser risk with our bet.
Safe Bet
In the last two meetings between Lebanon and Syria, Lebanon came from behind to win. Hence, the Cedars were the last team to score. At Vbet, backing Lebanon to be the last scorer has odds of 1.88 and we find it a good choice for a safe bet.
Quick Rich
The correct score combination 2-1/ 3-1/ 4-1 has odds of 4.40 at Vbet. In the last two games, Lebanon won once by the result of 2-1. We predict the 2-1 score is the closest in this match and we will back it.
Lebanon vs Syria First Goalscorer
Mohamad Kdouh is one of the Lebanese top forward players. He plays for an Indian club Neroca and scored in his last two appearances. With the Lebanese national team, Kdouh scored six times and we predict him to score the first goal on Thursday.

Lebanon vs Syria Team News
Hasan Maatouk the captain had torn hamstring muscles during training and will be out of the qualifiers. Obviously, Lebanon want the three points in this game, thus, Hasek might adopt a more offensive lineup than he did against Iraq in their last game.
The same goes for the Syrian national team with no crucial injuries in their squad. Likewise, Syria want to win their first game of the third phase qualifiers and coach Maatouk will field his best attackers.
