Pre-match review

Unlike Group A, which was already decided, the situation in Group B after the second round of matches is still extremely unpredictable. Timor Leste is the only team that is certain to be eliminated, while the remaining three teams, Myanmar, U23 Australia and Philippines, still have a chance to win tickets to the next round.

Myanmar is currently in the lead with 2 wins, holding the top spot in the group. Australia and the Philippines U23 women's team both have 3 points, but the host representative is temporarily ranked higher thanks to a superior goal difference.

For Myanmar, a draw against the Philippines would be enough to maintain their top spot in Group B. Meanwhile, the Philippines has only one way to decide their own fate: they must win. If they draw, they will almost certainly be eliminated, unless the Australian U23 women's team unexpectedly loses to Timor Leste, a very unlikely scenario.

In this match, the Philippines is still considered to be superior thanks to their superior physique and abundant physical strength. The experience of the naturalized players is also a special “weapon”, especially after the stumble in the previous round. Their attack has scored 17 goals in the last 5 matches, promising to attack from the start.

Myanmar also scored 20 goals in the same period and were ready to respond with sharp counter-attacks. Despite being physically inferior to the U23 women's team of Australia, Myanmar showed their experience and bravery when they fully exploited their opponent's weaknesses in the opening match. A narrow victory over Timor Leste in the next match helped them save their strength for the decisive match.

All promise a tense match, where just one explosive moment can decide the ticket to the semi-finals.

Form, head-to-head history

In the last 5 matches in all competitions, the Philippines women's team won 4, lost 1, scored 17 goals and conceded 1 goal. Meanwhile, the Myanmar women's team won 4, lost 1, scored 20 goals and conceded 3 goals in the last 5 matches.

The history of the confrontation between the Philippines and Myanmar women in the last 5 meetings clearly reflects the balance: each team won 2 matches and drew 1. At the 2023 Asian Games, the Philippines won 3-0. But before that, at the 2023 SEA Games, Myanmar had defeated their opponent with a score of 1-0. These contrasting results show the fierce competition and no team really dominates.

Force information:

Both teams have full strength.

Expected lineup:

Philippines: Olivia McDaniel, Cecar, Hawkinson, Hali Long, Azumi Oka, Tolentin, Lemoran, Shinaman, Chandler, McDaniel, Quizada.

Myanmar: Nyein Myo, Yu YaOo, Mon Myint, Phwe Phyu, Phyu Win, Htet Wai, Win Theingi, Thaw Thaw, Khaing Yu Par.

Score prediction: Philippines women 1-0 Myanmar women
