Hong Kong will face their biggest test of the competition so far with a match Saturday against last year’s second placed team South Korea at the Hong Kong Football Club, Sports Road.
Meanwhile, Japan host Sri Lanka also Saturday in Nagoya.
Failing a major upset, Japan—who have not lost a match in the Asia 5-Nations tournament since its inception in 2008—are the favourites to clinch the Asia 5-Nations for a seventh time to take them into Group-B of the 2015 World Cup.
The major battle of the Asia 5-Nations competition is expected to be for the second place position between Hong Kong and South Korea. Accordingly, the Match at Sports Road is likely to decide the team that will take the runner-up position in the Asia 5-Nations and move into the World Cup Repechage against Uruguay.
