Japan is two points ahead of Saudi Arabia in the points table, while Saudi Arabia will play a qualifying round match against China on Thursday.
However, Saudi Arabia is three points ahead of third-placed Australia, with only one match left for Australia, which will take place next Tuesday in Jeddah.
With this, the two teams that have qualified for the World Cup from Group B have been decided. Australia, the third-ranked team in the group, will face the UAE, the third-ranked team in Group A, in the play-offs.
Saudi Arabia's qualification for the sixth World Cup is a sign of the team's better preparation. Today's matches against China in Sharjah and next week's matches against Australia are the beginning of the Saudi team's preparations for the mega event.
