This team is attempting to make qualification to the World Cup for a third time, having gone into the quarterfinals in 1966 and into the group stage in 2010. Sin Yong-nam’s squad finished second in Group B in the second round to progress, having won three out of six matches. After successive friendly games against Jordan in August, North Korea will be aiming to record their first victory since June 11 against Qatar.

Qatar form

Qatar lost their opening Group A match as they conceded three times in the second half after taking an early lead, slumping to a home defeat. Tintin Marquez’s side topped Group A in the second round of qualifiers with 16 points from six matches. Qatar hosts the 2022 World Cup but failed to qualify beyond the group stage after defeats in all three games. The representative team of Qatar has won five games, drawn one, and lost one in the qualification matches for the 2026 competition, placing it under pressure for a good show on Tuesday. The two teams last met in January 2019 in the Asian Cup, a match that Qatar won 6-0 to keep up their unbeaten record against North Korea since 2010.

Qatar Predicted Lineup

Barsham; Miguel, Salman, Mendes; I Mohammad, Gaber, Fathy, Al Hassan, Waad; Afif; Ali
