Timor Leste vs Thailand Preview: Predicted starting line-ups and how to watch and broadcast live

- The Thai national team is the defending champion of this football tournament in 2022.
- Timor-Leste has never scored a goal against Thailand in its history.

Timor-Leste narrowly won the play-offs against Brunei 1-0 on aggregate, having failed to make it to the finals in 2022. Their previous encounters with Thailand have not ended well since the country was founded.
The Thai national team will start the ASEAN Cup with an easy task by visiting Timor Leste (the competition will be held in Vietnam), whose world rankings are very different. Thailand is ranked 97th, while Timor is ranked 196th. However, the results of the last two warm-up matches of the War Elephants were only able to draw with Lebanon 0-0 and draw with Laos 1-1 last November.

Predict the possibility and results of the competition
The 2024 AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup, the Thai national team will start the field by going to play in Vietnam, which Timor Leste uses as their home field in this tournament. Of course, Masatada Ishii’s War Elephants have had a long time to prepare this year. That makes our only choice to defend the championship this year. The
game will definitely be Thailand, who will try to control the ball and attack, while Timor has no other choice but to focus on a tight defense and wait to counterattack. As mentioned, the standards of both teams are clearly different in terms of world rankings, player names, and past performances. That makes this game unlikely to be a difficult task for the War Elephants to start the tournament beautifully. If Thailand finishes sharply, the สมัคร ufabet game may easily be a clear win, which will indirectly suppress other teams. Therefore, Thailand will definitely come out strong and win the match!
Score prediction: Timor Leste 0-4 Thailand
