Cambodia will be greatly disappointed with their form in recent games. They have managed just a single victory along with four defeats and a draw in their last six matches. It was a disastrous Asia Cup qualifying campaign for Cambodia as they exited in the round three with just one point to their name. Cambodia, will now have to shift focus on the AFF Championship, a competition where they haven’t been able to progress through the group stage ever.
Philippines haven’t enjoyed the best of times lately. In their last six fixtures, they have earned just a solitary victory to go with a draw and four defeats. Certainly, better results would have been expected from Philippines given their squad strength and prowess. Philippines, will be looking to do one better on their best ever achievement in the AFF Championship, the semi finals.
Given that is the opening game, there is a very high chance that the coaches will opt to go in with their respective strongest XIs. This will help in securing the all important three points and starting off on a positive note.
