Tonight’s match was originally scheduled to be played in the Maldivian capital of Malé. But the game was rescheduled after the stadium's football field was damaged during a National Day celebration.
The Chinese side practiced for the last two days without midfielder Sun Ke, who has a wrist injury. Striker Wu Xi also did not practice with the team, as he strained his leg during the match against Hong Kong.
Team China will be hoping for a quick start tonight.
"We are adjusting to our tactics the past two days. We are placing more emphasis on creating opportunities in front of the net during training. I hope we can score Tuesday night. If we can score early, it will make things much easier during the match," said Yu Dabao, China forward.
