Iraq v Bahrain (16:30, UTC+7)

Palestine v Thailand (19:30, UTC+7)

Thailand will swing into action after sitting out Matchday One and the hosts will be targeting to start their campaign with victory against Palestine.

Palestine, despite having to settle for a 1-1 draw with Iraq on Saturday, impressed and will not be awed by the prospect of facing a Thai side who will have their fans backing them.

Iraq and Bahrain will head into their tie knowing victory will see them leading the standings should Palestine lose to Thailand.

Iraq needed an own goal to salvage a point against Palestine and will be aiming for a faster start against Bahrain.

A much-improved second half performance helped Bahrain salvage a 1-1 draw with Lebanon on Saturday and they will aim to reproduce that form against Iraq.

Philippines v Uzbekistan (15:00, UTC+5)

Kuwait v Australia (18:00, UTC+5)

Uzbekistan will open their campaign on Monday and the hosts will be wary of a Philippines side who produced a stunning performance to beat Kuwait 4-1.

Katrina Guillou starred with a brace but Philippines, seeking a first appearance at the AFC Women's Futsal Asian Cup Finals, impressed with a complete display and Uzbekistan will not make the mistake of underestimating the Southeast Asian side.

Australia, also seeking a debut appearance at the Finals, were equally impressive in their 6-1 win against Turkmenistan and will expect another three points from a Kuwait side who were overwhelmed by the Philippines.

Nikkita Fazzari led the goal rush with a brace but Australia looked dangerous every time they ventured forward, meaning Kuwait have to be tight at the back if they are to secure a win and keep their hopes alive.

The top two finishers from each of the four groups, together with the overall best-ranked third-placed team, will progress to the Finals and join hosts China PR and 2018’s top two, Islamic Republic of Iran and Japan, to continue their quest for glory in May 2025.
