Command Analysis

Tajikistan

Current form
Tajikistan did not show its best side in the semi-finals of this cup. Before the game with Lebanon, the team was considered a favorite, but on the field it looked very bad and the 0:1 defeat can even be called successful, since absolutely nothing worked out for the Tajik footballers in the game. They need to work on their mistakes in order to play better in the match for third place.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
Tajikistan has conceded in eight of its last nine matches
The nominal hosts managed to score in two of the last four matches
Estimated composition
Barotov - Juraboev, Karimov, Kushakhtov, Nazarov - Olimzoda, Safarov, Tairov - Samiev, Umarbaev, Shukurov.

Philippines

Current form
The Philippines played well in the semi-final of the tournament against Malaysia and even took the lead first in the 27th minute, but they failed to maintain the winning score, conceding first in the 43rd minute and the second in the 73rd minute. Nevertheless, the minimal defeat can be called a success, because the odds for this team to win were 11.00, and many analysts did not even believe that the team would be able to distinguish itself.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
Philippines' losing streak extends to five games
The nominal guests have been conceding for eight games in a row
Estimated composition
Etheridge - Aguinaldo, Baas, Baldisimo, Demunk - Christensen, Nyholm, Reichelt - Tabinas, Tabinas, Monis.
Tip and bets
The defense of the two teams leaves much to be desired. It is unlikely that the teams will be able to play much better in defense than they did in the semi-final matches. This means that there is a high probability that both the Philippines and Tajikistan will be able to score. We will bet on both national teams to score.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 2.10
Bet on the outcome
Tajikistan is not in good shape right now, but the Philippines showed good football in the semi-final match. We believe that the winner between these two national teams will not be determined in regular time.
Betting Tip - draw with odds of 3.45
Bet on corners
Both national teams are not known for their abundance of corners, so it is logical to bet that there will not be many corners in the match.
Betting Tip - total under eight corners with odds of 1.77
