Maldives, on the other hand, have put themselves in a mess as a win may not ensure a semifinal berth. After beating Bhutan 2-0, the island nation lost 1-3 to Bangladesh after taking the lead in the game. The unfavourable result means World No. 154 Maldives may not qualify for the semis even if they beat Lebanon and will be crucial for the side to win the match by a bigger margin.
Lebanon are in a better situation as they currently have a goal difference of +5 while Maldives and Bangladesh have a GD of 0 with the latter having the advantage of facing Bhutan in the evening.
To Bangladesh's advantage, World No. 185 Bhutan have been the bogey team in the group so far with back-to-back defeats and have a goal difference of -5. The Himalayan side is mathematically still in the competition, given they beat Bangladesh by a margin of six goals and hope Maldives lose their match.
Lebanon, who finished finalist in the Intercontinental Cup earlier this month to India, have been the superior side in the group with dominating wins over Bhutan (4-1) and Bangladesh (2-0). Khalil Bader has been the team's top scorer with a goal each in both games while skipper Hassan Maatouk, Mahdi Zein, Mohammad Sadek and Ali Al Haj have also found the net to show the depth of the side.
For Maldives, skipper Hamza Mohammad has scored two goals while Naiz Hassan scored a late goal against Bhutan in 2-0 win.
