Yemen and Mongolia lock horns at the MFF Football Centre in Ulaanbaatar on Tuesday for their third game of the 2023 Asia Cup qualifiers in Group B.
The Qahtanite Arabs have collected just one point from their opening two games, courtesy of a 0-0 draw with the Philippines in their first match.
A stunning 5-0 loss to Palestine in the next plunged their qualification hopes into uncertainty and they must win on Tuesday to have a chance of progressing.
Mongolia, the hosts of the group, have been eliminated from the race for next year's showpiece and sit rock bottom of the group without a single point.
The Blue Wolves started their campaign with a 1-0 loss to Palestine before an identical defeat to the Philippines.
In both cases, Ichiro Otsuka's side conceded during the final 10 minutes of the game - in the 85th minute and the 93rd minute respectively - ending up with zero points instead of two.

Yemen vs Mongolia Prediction
Mongolia have looked solid in defense, only to crumble late on and end up on the losing side.
Yemen were horribly exposed by Palestine last time and the Blue Wolves could do the same to eke out a narrow victory.
