Thailand vs Chinese Taipei Prediction, 7:30 p.m. October 9: War Elephants cling to hope

TPO - Football analysis Thailand vs Chinese Taipei, Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers - Team information, expected lineup, performance, history of confrontation. Thailand is losing in the race with Turkmenistan. That puts pressure on them to win big against Chinese Taipei to keep their hopes alive.

Prediction before the match Thailand vs Chinese Taipei

The preparation of the Thai national team under the leadership of Masatada Ishii in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers is not good. After 2 matches, they only won 1, lost 1 and got 3 points. In the most recent match, Thailand lost 1-3 away to Turkmenistan.

That means they are 3 points behind the top team. The War Elephants' goal in this match is nothing more than to advance and win big. Thailand is losing in the race for the top spot. Therefore, accumulating points and sub-indices against weak teams like Chinese Taipei is a must.

Compared to Thailand, Chinese Taipei is clearly much weaker. If Thailand is ranked 101st in the world , Chinese Taipei is ranked 176th. It is not an exaggeration to say that in a group with Sri Lanka, Turkmenistan and Thailand, Chinese Taipei is the underdog.

Coach Huang Zheming has just taken over the Chinese Taipei team. In his first match in charge, they were defeated 0-6 by Indonesia. The situation in this tournament is not very positive when they have lost 2 consecutive matches (lost 1-2 at home to Turkmenistan and defeated by Sri Lanka 3-1). Chinese Taipei is ranked last in the group.

Thailand is falling behind in the race for the top spot.

Form, history of confrontations between Thailand and Chinese Taipei

The form of the two teams is very contrasting. Thailand has not really exploded under Masatada Ishii, losing 2 of the last 6 matches, but Chinese Taipei is still far behind. In the last 4 appearances, they have lost all 4 matches. In the last 13 matches, this team has lost 11 times. To be fair, it is not too much to say that Chinese Taipei is as weak as Laos and Timor Leste.

However, Thailand is facing many difficulties before this match. They have lost a series of key players due to injury. Sasalak Haiprakhon, left-back of Buriram United, and most recently key striker Supachai Jaided, had to withdraw. Before that, Thailand lost naturalized striker Gustavsson, leaving the team without a quality striker. Of the 3 strikers that coach Ishii prepared for the match with Chinese Taipei, only 1 can score. With a dull attack, it seems difficult for Thailand to win big.

Expected lineup Thailand vs Chinese Taipei

Thailand: Anuin, Sorada, Syriya, Thongsong, Puangchan, Chamratsamee, Davis, Poeiphimai, Chanathip, Promsrikaew, Sarachat.

Chinese Taipei: Huang Chiu Lin, Huang Tzu Ming, Wei Pei Lun, Lin Zhi Xuan, Wang Ruei, Chen Ting Yang, Zhao Ming Xiu, Tu Shao chieh, Tsai Meng Chen, Gong Zhi Yu, Jhon Miky Benchy.

Score prediction: Thailand 2-0 Chinese Taipei
