AFC Cup betting and spectator preview: Hai Phong and PSM meet at Sân vận động Lạch Tray to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 4500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Hai Phong form and stats
Hai Phong's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Binh Dinh. The host team have an in-form goalscorer in Almeida, having found the net in three games in a row.
Before that game, a defeat in the away fixture against Incheon United (after extra-time) in the AFC Champions League. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Phong have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.
PSM form and stats
2-3-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for PSM in their Liga 1 matches away.
PSM are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the match against Barito Putera.
Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to PSS Sleman.We have checked recent matches where PSM have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 9 games were 0 victories, 2 draws and 7 defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the PSM manager Tavares as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Borneo.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting PSM as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. PSM are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 6 times in 7 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
