Lebanon take on Brunei at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium in Bandar Seri Begawan on Tuesday for their clash in the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers.
With 10 points in the bag from four games, Lebanon are currently leading the race for a place in the showpiece from Group B. Second-placed Yemen are two points behind them in the group standings.
Should the Gulf side drop points to Bhutan this week and Lebanon beat Brunei, then the latter will qualify for the Asian Cup, marking their fourth appearance in the tournament.
Ranked 110th in the world, Lebanon are heavy favorites to beat Brunei, who were crushed 9-0 by Yemen last month. Nasser Al-Gahwashi bagged five goals as the side recorded their joint biggest win of all-time.
Brunei's elimination was also confirmed after the loss, with the southeast Asian minnows securing just three points and trailing leaders Lebanon by seven ahead of the last two fixtures in qualifying.
Their only positive result so far has been a narrow 2-1 win over Bhutan on matchday two, but Brunei were unable to build on that win and lost both their games to Yemen last month.

Brunei vs Lebanon Prediction
