Preview - Group D: Syria v Thailand
Shenzhen: Syria must win against Thailand on Thursday to stand a chance of making the quarter-finals of the AFC U20 Asian Cup™ China 2025, with their qualification also dependent on the outcome of the Korea Republic-Japan match.
The 1994 champions are one point, with Japan a further two ahead and with a better goal difference. Korea Republic have already qualified after back-to-back wins. 

"We will enter the match against Thailand with one mindset, which is to win,” said head coach Mohammad Kwid.

“We have rectified our previous mistakes and know what is required of us - to achieve victory and to do so with a big margin."

Thailand head coach Emerson Pereira said there was still much at stake for his squad despite having already been eliminated.

“My team will play for dignity, for honour and for their families, so we need to improve our set-pieces, not repeat our mistakes and do our fighting best,” he said, adding that Thailand would also need to reorganise due to a number of injured players.
