Thailand take on Philippines in the AFF championship match. The match will be played on Monday, December 26th at Thammasat Stadium (Bangkok)
Thailand is a specialist in this tournament. This tournament has been held 6 times already, and 4 times it was Thailand that became the champions. In fact, the current championship began more than convincingly for Thailand, already in the opening round they smashed Brunei 5:0, and such a score was quite expected there. Yes, now the opponent will, of course, be much more serious, but Thailand is still the main favorite of this competition, and perhaps the Philippines will not scare them. Moreover, the history of head-to-heads between the teams is completely on the side of the nominal hosts of this fight, the teams met 6 times, Thailand was stronger 4 times, and only in 2 cases draw results were recorded. Bookmakers here have no doubt that success here will be on the side of Thailand, and the odds for their clear victory are extremely modest. Here, in fact, you can think about how to play a minus handicap for the Thai team.

The Philippines has already managed to surprise in this tournament from the negative side. If in the first round they were able to confidently win Brunei 5:1, then in the second match of the tournament there were unexpected problems with the modest national team of Cambodia, and as a result, the Philippines lost with a score of 2:3. Now everything is not so optimistic for this team, because their entry into the top 2 groups is already in doubt, since Indonesia will take their place in the playoffs with great pleasure. As for the upcoming match, there is not many chances for Philippines, there is every reason to believe that the 7th head-to-head of these teams will be on the side of Thailand. Moreover, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the Philippines are very weak in defense in this tournament, because they have already conceded 4 goals, but they played with the main outsiders of the group, Cambodia and Brunei...
The coefficient for a clear victory for Thailand is modest here, and some more expressive option must be chosen. Well, perhaps that, it is quite possible to dwell on the option of a minus handicap in favor of Thailand. The defense of the Philippines is weak enough, but here it looks quite realistic that solid Thailand will outscore the opponent.
Prediction for the match: Thailand to win with -1.5 handicap.
