Hong Kong and Palestine have played each other only twice prior to this meeting.
After two entertaining rounds of the group stage, the focus now shifts to the final matchday that will decide the fate of many teams. Hong Kong’s return to the AFC Asian Cup hasn’t been memorable as they are yet to win a game and have lost both their opening games.
Next up, they will face off against Palestine who still have a chance to the knockouts provided they clinch all three points in the next match. Palestine lost their first game against title favourites Iran and clinched a hard fought draw against the UAE in their second match.

The central midfielder has been one of the most consistent players for Hong Kong at the 2023 AFC Asian Cup. He has an excellent work rate and is known for passing and ball recovery rate. Moreover, he is very versatile and can also operate as a defensive and attacking midfielder adding more depth to the squad.
Mus’ab Al-Batat (Palestine)

Palestine’s skipper has led his side from the front. The 30-year-old has been rock solid at the back for his side. He was Palestine’s best player in the last game against UAE and helped his side clinch a point. He is an offensive full-back and loves to make bombing runs forward. He averaged 7.5 tackles per game at the continental championship.
