Timor-Leste v Mongolia
Timor-Leste’s Simon Elissetche and Mongolia’s Bayasgalan Garidmagnai will both be aiming for their respective sides to take a significant advantage away from the first leg to be played at the Kapten I Wayan Stadium in Bali.
Elissetche will look to PSM Makassar player Joao Pedro Freitas for inspiration in attack while Garidmagnai can count on Slovakia-based Ganbold Ganbayar to do the same.
The last time these two sides faced off was in the first round of the AFC Preliminary Joint Qualification World Cup 2018 and AFC Asian Cup™ 2019 First Round in March 2015.

Venue: Kapten I Wayan Stadium (Bali)
Kick-off: 15:30 (UTC+8)
Sri Lanka v Cambodia
Abdulla Almutairi only had slightly more than a week to work with his players, having been appointed as interim head coach by Sri Lanka.
However, the Kuwaiti national can rely on the experience of Brisbane Roar defender Jack Hingert in the heart of Sri Lanka’s defence.
Almutairi’s counterpart Felix Dalmas has added 17-year-old Lim Lucca in the squad, the only player who plays his club football outside of Cambodia with Yudai Ogawa and Mizuno Hikaru also among the new faces in the team.
Sri Lanka v Cambodia
Venue: Racecourse International Stadium (Colombo)
Kick-off: 15:45 (UTC+5:30)
Brunei Darussalam v Macau
History favours Macau in this clash against Brunei Darussalam as they have won all four of their previous meetings, with Lazaro Oliveira determined to continue that good run for the East Asian side.
The 57-year-old head coach geared up his side by taking on Hong Kong Rangers in a closed-door friendly match on August 25.
Brunei Darussalam will want to maximise playing in front of their home crowd and with the Brunei Super League having kicked off last week, will have players who are match fit and ready for the challenge.
