Command Analysis

Kaya FC

Current form
Kaya is the current champion of the Philippine League and the current leader of the championship. The team is in first place in its championship and is one point ahead of Manila Digger, with a game in hand. The hosts also played in the Asian Champions League 2, where they failed to achieve success. In a group with Hiroshima, Sydney and Eastern, the Philippine club took only third place and did not make it to the playoffs. In the first draw of the ASEAN Club Championship, things are also going pretty badly. In the first two rounds, the team lost to Malaysian Kuala Lumpur (0:1) and Thai Buriram United (0:7).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with their squad ahead of the third round of the ASEAN Championship.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has lost only one of its last seven matches.
- The hosts have scored one goal each in the last three matches
Estimated lineup: Deito - Pak, Saito, Kasambre, Menzi - Yamazaki, Esso - Komaki, Mellisa, Horikoshi - Bedic

Cong An Ha Noi

Current form
Cong An became the champion of Vietnam in 2023, but the following season they could not even make it into the top three, finishing only in sixth place. The team currently occupies the fifth line in the domestic championship, but is only one point behind the third position. The visitors started the ASEAN Club Championship excellently - with two home victories in a row. Cong An managed to beat Buriram United (2:1) and crush Lion City (5:0). 2024 ended for the club from Hanoi with a friendly match against the second team of Slavia Prague. On December 18, the Vietnamese club managed to beat the reserves of the Czech team with a score of 2:0.

12.00Tip and bets
This game can go either way, but I want to believe that this time the hosts will be able to avoid a major defeat and at least make up for the seven goals they conceded against Buriram United. The team has lost only one of five matches at home, so there is hope that the Filipinos will be able to fight for points in the confrontation with Kong An.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+2.5) on Kaya for 1.62
Bet on total
In four of the last six matches, the visitors have worked reliably in defense, not conceding a single goal. Surely, the team will be able to show a reliable game at their gates now, it is unlikely that the main outsider of the group will be able to show a productive performance. Understanding the attacking potential of the opponent, the hosts will probably rely on defense.
Our prediction is under 3.5 goals for 2.02
Bet on corners
Most likely, the opponents will play defensively, which means that many corner flag passes are not expected. We suggest betting on the total under this indicator.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners for 1.95
