Laos vs Philippines Prediction and Betting Tips | 15th December 2024

Laos host the Philippines at the New Laos National Stadium in Vientiane on Sunday for a clash in the 2024 ASEAN Championship. Both sides aim for their first win of the campaign after some disappointing results.

The hosts were crushed 4-1 by Vietnam on the opening day followed by a 3-3 draw with Indonesia on matchday two. With just a single point in the bag, the Million Elephants are rock bottom in Group B, behind the Philippines and Myanmar by virtue of inferior goal difference.

Ha Hyeok-jun's side need to up the ante now and start picking up wins if they are to stand a chance of progressing. But here's the catch: in four official games this season, Laos have not won even once.

That should offer some respite to the Philippines, whose ASEAN campaign began with a 1-1 draw against Myanmar on Thursday. Bjorn Kristensen struck the equalizer for the Street Dogs from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute to cancel out Maung Maung Lwin's first-half opener for the Chinthe.

However, they haven't really covered themselves in glory this year, with the Azkals winning just one of their last 10 official matches, and losing seven.

Laos vs Philippines Prediction

The Million Elephants have flattered to deceive at the ongoing championship, as their defense has been atrocious, conceding seven goals in two games. It should give their rivals some confidence entering the contest.

Led by the peerless Kristensen, the Azkals will be looking to pounce on their vulnerabilities and should be able to come away with all three points.

Prediction: Laos 1-2 Philippines
