In the semifinals of the King's Cup in Thailand, the Tajik squad lost to Syria with a score of 1:3.

In the Merdeka Cup, the team lost in the semifinals to Malaysia (1-2) and then fell to their current opponent in the battle for third place. During the King’s Cup semifinals, the Filipinos were defeated by Thailand (1-3).

Tip and bets
The Philippines last celebrated a victory last year and are currently struggling to secure even a draw. It is unlikely that the team will clinch third place in this friendly tournament as Tajikistan is favored in skill. We anticipate no surprises here, with the nominal hosts likely to take home the bronze medals.
Our prediction is a win for Tajikistan at 1.67
Total Goals Bet
In a friendly tournament teams are unlikely to play defensively. It is expected that both teams will focus on attacking and score at least three goals.
Prediction - total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.85
Team Goals Bet
Tajikistan has not scored in their last three matches and will want to end this streak. We believe that against a weak opponent the Tajik team will achieve their target. The Philippines are also unlikely to leave the pitch without scoring, considering they managed to find the net against Thailand in the semifinals.
Prediction - both teams to score with odds of 1.77
