The International Friendly match between Estonia and Thailand will take place at A. Le Coq Arena on Tuesday at 9:30 pm IST.
Estonia will face Thailand in their upcoming international friendly at the A. Le Coq Arena on Tuesday evening. This will be the second encounter between the two teams, with Thailand winning in a penalty shootout during the King’s Cup in 2004.
As anticipated, Estonia’s attempts to qualify for Euro 2024 have been fruitless, as they couldn’t secure a single victory in their group-stage matches, often enduring heavy defeats. They suffered a demoralizing 5-0 home loss to Sweden in September, failing to register a single shot on target in the entire game, and encountered similar difficulties in their 5-0 defeat against Belgium at the King Baudouin Stadium. While these outcomes were somewhat expected, given Estonia’s historical struggle to qualify for major tournaments, the manager, Thomas Haberli, might be disappointed with their performances against teams at a similar level. Estonia now finds themselves at the bottom of Group F after their recent 2-0 home loss to Azerbaijan, with daunting fixtures against Austria and Sweden looming in November.
Thailand’s fans were left deeply disappointed by their recent match, as they suffered a devastating 8-0 defeat against Georgia, marking their most significant loss since a 9-0 defeat against England in 1956. Facing strong European opponents was always going to be a challenge for the Changsuek, but the nature of the loss was especially frustrating, with just one shot on target throughout the entire game. Alexandre Polking’s team has now suffered back-to-back losses, including a penalty shootout defeat against Iraq in the King’s Cup in September. Looking ahead, Thailand has a World Cup qualifier against China in mid-November and aims to build momentum for that match, as well as for the upcoming Asian Cup starting in January.
Estonia probable starting lineup: Hein, Peetson, Paskotsi, Kait, Kuusk, Pikk, Vetkal, Vassiljev, Tunjov, Poom, Anier
Thailand probable starting lineup: Pathomakkakul, Kaman, Dolah, Praisuwan, Do, Sukjitthammakul, Autra, Phala, Promsrikaew, Burapha, Laptrakul
