Papua New Guinea vs Vanuatu Prediction and Betting Tips | October 14, 2023 

Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu clash at the Stade Numa-Daly Magenta in Noumea, New Caledonia, on Saturday (October 14) in the 2023 MSG Prime Minister's Cup.

Both teams have lost both their games in the competitions and will look to pull down the curtains on their campaign with a win.

PNG have lost 3-1 to Solomon Islands and New Caledonia in their last two games. Having won the cup last year, the defending champions have been a damp squib this year, relinquishing their crown in limp fashion.

Meanwhile, Vanuatu were thrashed 4-0 by New Caledonia in their first game before losing 1-0 to Solomon Islands. With a goal-difference of -5, Vanuatu are at the bottom of the table in the cup, with PNG (-4) only marginally ahead of them.

Emerson Alcântara's side are also the only team in the cup who haven't scored, drawing a blank in both games.

Papua New Guinea vs Vanuatu Prediction

PNG and Vanuatu have both flattered to deceive in the cup, especially the former, who had won the cup just last year. Their defence has been horrible, but Vanuatu haven't fared much better either, so exxpect a low-scoring stalemate.
