>>> Prediction The Last 12 Teams Road to WC 2018 <<<

My Group winners
1. KSA
2.Australia
3.Qatar
4.Iran
5.Japan
6.Thailand
7.South Korea
8.Uzbekistan

The final 4 second teams:
1. North Korea 2. Iraq 3. UAE 4. Jordan.

 

Ok know it all, we will see you in 2016.
By the way, I see you have changed your predictions? Hmm poor prediction perhaps?

 

Group A: KSA
Group B: Australia
Group C: Qatar
Group D: Iran
Group E: Japan
Group F: Iraq
Group G: South Korea
Group H: North Korea

Four best runners-up:
Syria
Jordan
Uzbekistan
Kuwait (or Lebanon if Kuwait is banned..)

 

Many teams will not decide their situation soon as expected before (like Iraq).
Only the big 4, actually 3 of them, SK, Japan and even Iran in transition, they are doing their job as expected. Australia will join later as 2nd. the worst case anyways.
To be one of the best 4 runner ups, teams must have all wins and no more than 2 loses. If you add a draw, will need big goal plus margin to qualify as the last of the 4 runner-ups but I think will go home:

The final 4 second teams will come from these groups:
Group B. Australia or Jordan. 2nd. will reach minimum 4-2.
Group E. Japan or Syria. Syria as 2nd. place has only one loss and big margin. Will reach min. 4-2.
Group G. South Korea or Kuwait. 2nd. probably Kuwait, and will be the best runner up after NK. Only one loss and hughhhhhhhhh plus.
Group H. Uzbekistan or North Korea. 2nd. UZ. If NK, will be the best 2nd. Only 1 tie now.

Then, my possible big losers:
Group A: I guess UAE will not make it again. Close but already has 1 tie 1 loss. From this group and group D comes the closest team to reach top 4.
Group C: China and HK. Small margin compared to UAE, 1 tie 1 loss now.
Group D: Oman. Already 2 ties. If they tie 2 again, bye bye. They have to play Iran too.
Group F: Iraq. It's real hard for them to win all next 3 games. Will probably tie one, and they are out.

 

A: UAE and Saudi Arabia
B: Australia
C: Qatar
D: Iran
E: Japan and Syria (If Kuwait is not disqualified)
F: Iraq and Thailand
G: South Korea and Lebanon (If Kuwait is disqualified)
H: Uzbekistan and North Korea

 

Uzbekistan undoubtedly will be first in the group, but it would be unfair if Lebanon goes through, not Kuwait

 

It's unfair for Kuwaiti players. But it's not unfair if Lebanon goes through.

 

I think, following teams are going to qualify to the next round (Groups in 2nd round in bracket):

1. Saudi Arabia (A)
2. United Arab Emirates (A)
3. Australia (B)
4. Japan (E)
5. Syria (E)
6. Iraq (F)
7. Qatar (C)
8. China (C)
9. Iran (D)
10. South Korea (G)
11. Uzbekistan (H)
12. North Korea (H)

 

Group A: Saudi Arabia
Group B: Australia
Group C: Qatar
Group D: Iran
Group E: Japan
Group F: Iraq
Group G: South Korea
Group H: Uzbekistan

Four best runners-up:

Thailand
North Korea
Syria
