Cape Verde will look to <strong>Garry Rodrigues<\/strong> and Ryan Mendes to stretch Saudi Arabia's defensive line, while the Green Sharks' midfield trio must disrupt the visitors' double-pivot before any real danger can develop.<\/p><p class=\"mux-lineup-narrative\">Saudi Arabia's threat runs through <strong>Salem Al-Dawsari<\/strong>, whose creativity behind Firas Al-Buraikan gives the Falcons a clear focal point in the final third.
