One of the third round matches in the Asian Cup qualifiers will be played on Tuesday in Kallang, where Singapore will host Hong Kong at the National Stadium. I suggest betting on goals in this match with a good odds.
Match preview
The Singapore national team showed weak results in the second stage of World Cup qualifying, finding themselves in a tough Group C alongside China, South Korea, and Thailand. In six matches, the team earned only one point, drawing with China (2:2), which did not allow them to progress further.
At the end of the year, Singapore participated in the ASEAN championship, where they had no issues advancing from the group stage. Victories over Cambodia (2:1) and East Timor (3:0) secured second place and passage to the round of 16. However, at this stage, they faced a strong Vietnam team, losing 0:2 and 1:3, ending their tournament journey. Last week, Singapore lost a home friendly against Nepal 0:1.
Meanwhile, the Hong Kong national team also halted their World Cup journey at the second qualifying stage. In a group with Iran, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, the team finished last, not winning a single match and drawing twice with Turkmenistan (2:2 at home and 0:0 away).
In the autumn, Hong Kong played several friendly matches, losing only to Liechtenstein while defeating the Solomon Islands, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Mauritius. In December, as part of the East Asian Championship qualifiers, Hong Kong secured three victories over Taiwan, Mongolia, and in the final against Guam.
Probable lineups
- Singapore: Mahbud, Nazari, Han Wei, Baharudin, Azmi, Harun, Shahiran, Kweh, Nakamura, Ramli, Anuar
- Hong Kong: Yapp, Chan, Yu, Helio, Yue, Tan, Wu, Chang, Wong, Orr, Juninho
Match facts and head-to-head
- The last two matches between these teams ended in a 1:1 draw
- The "both teams to score" bet has won in three out of five matches
- The "over 2.5 goals" bet has won in one out of five matches
Prediction
Bookmakers are cautious about this match and offer roughly equal odds for both teams to win. We suggest taking the "under 2.5 goals" bet with odds of 1.68.
