While Syria have been no strangers to the Asian Cup over the years, they had been to the last-16 stage until they broke new ground earlier this year.

Although Australia were the clear favourites to progress from their group, matches against Uzbekistan and India opened the door for progression, and that is how it proved with a 1-0 victory over the Blue Tigers resulting in a last-16 tie with Iran.

That ultimately ended in disapoinement, Syria losing on penalties despite playing extra time with a man advantage, but Hector Cuper can only take positives from the competition.

Back in Asian World Cup qualifying, Syria have already secured a potentially-pivotal result, starting the second round with a 1-0 victory over North Korea.

A 5-0 thrashing by Japan soon followed, yet taking care of business against Myanmar and avoiding defeat in North Korea later in the campaign may be enough to send them through as runners-up.

At a time when Syria have won just four of their last 14 matches across all competitions, Myanmar’s three victories in seven matches have come at a far lower level.

They were required to come through a two-legged tie with Macau to reach this stage, prevailing 5-1 on aggregate, but the step up in class currently indicating that they are out of their depth.

After a 5-0 defeat to Japan, a 6-1 reverse against North Korea soon followed, the consolation goal in question coming after they had conceded six times across a 40-minute period.
