Hong Kong vs Cambodia prediction, head-to-head and probable lineups - 13.11.2025
Cambodia
One of this week's international friendlies will take place at the Hong Kong Stadium, where the home side will face Cambodia. I'm backing an outcome in this clash with a strong chance of success.
Match preview
Hong Kong have been showing solid form after a dismal spell in the middle of 2024. Ashley Westwood's men are unbeaten in three consecutive matches, including emphatic wins over Fiji (8-0) and Bangladesh (4-3), and a draw in the return fixture against the latter. This international window gives the team an opportunity to rotate, as a more important World Cup qualifier against Singapore looms on the horizon.
The squad features 24 players, including one of their attacking leaders, Everton Camargo, who has already netted 11 times in 21 international appearances. This hints at possible energy conservation, but even with a rotated line-up, Hong Kong remain favourites against Cambodia. The hosts boast an excellent head-to-head record and a psychological edge over their rivals.
Cambodia are enduring a torrid spell: three defeats in 2025, all by the same 1-2 scoreline. After successive losses to Vietnam, Aruba, and Tajikistan, the team finds itself in crisis mode, struggling even in friendlies.
Nevertheless, the coach has called up 24 players, including forward Sieng Chanthea, who has scored 8 goals for the national team. However, judging by recent results, that's not enough: the defence is faltering, and their attacking power simply can't make up for weaknesses at the back.
Probable lineups
- Hong Kong: Tse, Chan, Yu, Jones, Gerbig, Ngan, Juninho, Fernando, Lu, Camargo, Orr
- Cambodia: Vireak, Yeu, Han, Ose, Taylor, Lim, Orn, Ogawa, Kim, Koulibaly, Chanthea
Match facts and head-to-head
- Hong Kong have never lost to Cambodia in 10 head-to-head encounters, winning 8 of them.
- The last meeting between these teams was in October 2024 and ended in a 3-0 victory for Hong Kong.
- Cambodia have lost all their matches in 2025, while Hong Kong are unbeaten in three straight games.
Prediction
Given the current form and head-to-head record, Hong Kong look like clear favourites. Even with a rotated squad, the "Dragons" should secure a comfortable victory. Cambodia are unlikely to spring a surprise away from home given their ongoing struggles.
