Group A
Timor-Leste v Tajikistan
Venue: Territory Rugby League Stadium (Darwin)
Kick-off: Tuesday, 16:00 (UTC+9:30)

Maldives v Philippines
Venue: Maldives National Football Stadium (Male)
Kick-off: Tuesday, 15:30 (UTC+5)

Tajikistan and Philippines will be determined to not slip up with both tied on 10 points and set to meet in March.

Philippines lead the standings on goal difference and will face a Maldives side who have yet to get points on the board.

Tajikistan face Timor-Leste in the neutral venue of Darwin and the Central Asian side will be wary of the threat posed by the Southeast Asian outfit, who gave Philippines a tough fight in their Matchday Four encounter.

Group B
Brunei Darussalam v Lebanon
Venue: Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium (Bandar Seri Begawan)
Kick-off: Tuesday, 20:15 (UTC+8)

Yemen v Bhutan
Venue: Ali Al-Salem Al-Sabah Stadium (Ardiyah)
Kick-off: Tuesday, 17:30 (UTC+3)

Lebanon will be focused on maintaining their two-point advantage when they play Brunei Darussalam in Bandar Seri Begawan.

The West Asian side lead the group with 10 points but will have to treat Brunei Darussalam with respect, as the Southeast Asian side's only points came from their home win against Bhutan on Matchday Two.

Second-placed Yemen will be equally focused against Bhutan, as defeat for the West Asian side will mean the end of their dreams should Lebanon win against Brunei Darussalam.

Group C
Hong Kong, China v Singapore
Venue: Kai Tak Stadium (Hong Kong)
Kick-off: Tuesday, 20:00 (UTC+8)

Bangladesh v India
Venue: National Stadium Dhaka (Dhaka)
Kick-off: Tuesday, 20:00 (UTC+6)

It will be a winner-takes-all tie between Hong Kong, China and Singapore in Group C.

Tied on eight points and with the reverse fixture having ended in a goalless draw, a winning side on Tuesday will be assured to the top spot, irrespective of what happens on the final matchday.

A draw will extend the race to March, with Singapore to host Bangladesh and Hong Kong, China to play India away.

The group's second fixture on Tuesday will see Bangladesh hosting India, with both out of the running after accumulating only two points each.

Group D
Sri Lanka v Thailand
Venue: Race Course International Stadium (Colombo)
Kick-off: Tuesday, 15:45 (UTC+5:30)

Turkmenistan v Chinese Taipei
Venue: Arkadag Stadium (Arkadag)
Kick-off: Tuesday, 18:45 (UTC+5)

Barring the unexpected, the Group D race is also expected to only conclude on Matchday Six with Turkmenistan and Thailand tied on nine points and Sri Lanka three behind.

Turkmenistan lead the standings courtesy of their 3-1 win against Thailand in June and will expect maximum points against Chinese Taipei, with the East Asian side having lost all four previous matches.

Thailand face a tricky away tie against Sri Lanka, with the South Asian side having shown their quality in the 2-1 defeat of Turkmenistan on Matchday Three.

Group E
Pakistan v Syria
Venue: Jinnah Stadium (Islamabad)
Kick-off: Tuesday, 14:00 (UTC+5)

Syria will be under no pressure when they travel to face Pakistan, with the West Asian side having already confirmed their ticket to the Finals with two matches to spare.

They will fancy a fifth win, with Pakistan having lost all four previous matches.

The Afghanistan-Myanmar tie has been rescheduled to March 26.

Group F
Nepal v Malaysia
Venue: Bukit Jalil National Stadium (Kuala Lumpur)
Kick-off: Tuesday, 21:00 (UTC+8)

Laos v Vietnam
Venue: Lao National Stadium KM16 (Vientiane)
Kick-off: Wednesday, 19:00 (UTC+7)

Malaysia will be seeking a fifth consecutive victory when they meet Nepal in what is a technically away clash for the Southeast Asian side at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium.

Malaysia won the reverse fixture 2-0 in March and will expect nothing lesser than three points, with a crucial Matchday Six encounter with Vietnam to come in March.

Vietnam sit three points behind Malaysia and will be focused on victory against Laos, with their Southeast Asian neighbours already out of the running.
