China is grouped alongside South Korea, Kyrgyzstan, and Philippines in the 2019 AFC Cup. Despite ranked above Kyrgyzstan (91), the Red Dragons can have a run for their money in their match.

Apart from victories against Syria (74), Myanmar (139) and Thailand (118), the Red Dragons haven't won any match against Asian oppositions in 2018. They, in fact, lost to Qatar (93) and were held by Bahrain (113), India (97), and Palestine (99).

Japan (50) is the only Asian side Kyrgyzstan has been beaten by in 2018. The White Falcons have defeated India (97), Myanmar (139), Syria (74), Malaysia (167), and Jordan (109), and held Palestine (99) to a draw.

Kyrgyz Republic can very well upset China in Group C. If China gets overwhelmed by South Korea and manages to pick up a win over Philippines, they would be only left with three points. If it pans out like that, they can be on their way to home.
