China vs Thailand Prediction & Betting Tips (6 June)

Very disappointing during the Asian Cup, with 0 goals scored during the group stage against Tajikistan 0-0, Lebanon 0-0 and Qatar 1-0, China was able to reassure itself offensively during the last international truce. Against Singapore twice, the Chinese were first held 2-2, then largely won the return 4-1. These results allow them to keep 2nd place in the group, 3 points behind Korea and 3 points ahead of Thailand. This second place allows them for the moment to qualify for the next round.

 Thailand did better than China during the group stage of the Asian Cup, notably defeating Kyrgyzstan 2-0, and even remaining undefeated against Oman 0-0 and Saudi Arabia 0-0. The task became complicated, however, against Uzbekistan in the round of 16 and this 2-1 defeat. 3rd, the Thais still have hope given that they did the hard part by facing Korea twice during the last break, for a very interesting 1-1 draw in the first leg, and a loss at home on the return 0-3.

All the players in the selection play in the local championship. Note the presence of striker Wu Lei, already the author of 5 goals in this qualifying phase. The former Espanyol Barcelona player is the player with the most caps in this group, and also the greatest number of goals by far (96 caps, 36 goals). His attacking teammate Yuning Zhang is also a formidable attacker (30 goals, 5 goals) who plays for Beijing Guoan.

Thailand has some very interesting elements. We find the captain and central defender Bunmathan (103 sels, 7 goals), who plays for Buriram United, or the two experienced midfielders Yooyen (81 sels, 6 goals) and Songkrasin (65 sels, 12 goals). Up front, Suphanat Mueanta (19 sels, 7 goals) is the new star of the team, playing for Louvain in Belgium, alongside two scorers from the local championship Dangda (127 sels, 64 goals) and Chaided (37 sels, 7 goals).
