Prediction for U22 Thailand vs U22 Singapore, 7:00 PM on December 11th: An upset is unlikely.

TPO - Football match preview: Thailand U22 vs Singapore U22, men's football at SEA Games 33, 7:00 PM on December 11th - information on squads, expected lineups, form, and head-to-head history. Singapore U22 is unlikely to spring a surprise against the host team.

Thailand U22 previously defeated Singapore U22 3-1 at the 32nd SEA Games.

Match preview: Thailand U22 vs Singapore U22

Singapore U22 suffered a shocking defeat to Timor Leste U22 in their opening match of Group A in the men's football tournament at the 33rd SEA Games. The 1-3 loss means Singapore U22 are virtually eliminated, as they have almost no chance of beating Thailand U22 in tonight's match.

In theory, U22 Thailand has practically secured a place in the semi-finals thanks to their superior goal difference (+5). Even if they lose to U22 Singapore, the home team still has a good chance of winning Group A. However, this is clearly a scenario that Coach Damrong-Ontrakul's team does not want to happen, especially since U22 Singapore is weaker than U22 Timor Leste.

Beyond just scoring points, the U22 Thailand team must also aim for victory for their home fans. The 33rd SEA Games is generating much controversy, and any shocking result could negatively impact the host nation's sports delegation.

Based on the performances of both teams, U22 Thailand is considered superior to U22 Singapore. Coach Damrong-Ontrakul has brought to the tournament a squad of young stars currently playing in the Thai League, with many players already possessing experience. Meanwhile, U22 Singapore, under coach Firdaus Kassim, pursues a possession-based style of play but lacks quality and sharpness in attack.

Against U22 Timor Leste, U22 Singapore's defense was easily breached by quick counter-attacks. If they don't change their playing style to be more pragmatic, U22 Singapore could easily collapse against Thailand.

History of confrontations between U22 Thailand and U22 Singapore

Thailand U22 has won all three of their most recent encounters against Singapore U22, including two victories at the 2019 SEA Games.
