Will Uzbekistan qualify? With two teams per pot for the round 4 draw we might see.
Pot 1: Japan+Iran
Pot 2: Australia+ Uzbekistan
Pot 3: South Korea+Jordan
Pot 4: Saudi+Oman
Pot 5: North Korea+ China maybe Kuwait and Bahrain must be considered.
Very tricky away trips there. One part of me wants Qatar to fail miserably but playing against them in Doha at least gives a decent pitch unlike Bahrain and Oman. I expect South Korea to go down a little more and Uzbekistan to be a little better. Iran away would be much tougher than Japan. These are just predictions but it's interesting to see the possible program over the next four years.
