Singapore vs Solomon Islands Prediction and Betting Tips | 18th June 2023

2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifier - Singapore v Japan
Singapore and the Solomon Islands have played each other just once before

Singapore host the Solomon Islands at the Singapore National Stadium in Kallang on Sunday for an international friendly.

The Lions are coming into this game off the back of a thrilling 2-2 draw with Papua New Guinea on Friday.

Adam Bin Swandi opened the scoring for the hosts in the 23rd minute before Ati Kepo equalized for the Kapuls in the 42nd minute. However, another minute later, Hariss bin Harun restored Singapore's lead as Papua New Guinea's celebrations were cut short.

There was more drama to follow in the final minute of the opening stanza, though, as Raymond Gunemba made it 2-2, making it three goals in a space of just three minutes.

This was also Singapore's first game on home turf in 2023.

The Solomon Islands were also involved in a friendly game earlier this week, wherein Malaysia beat them 4-1 in Terengganu.

Raphael Lea'i scored in the 11th minute to put the Bonitos in front, but the Malayan Tigers responded in an emphatic fashion. They netted twice before the break through Paulo Josue and Arif Aiman while Muhammad Rasid and Lee Tuck scored apiece after the break.

This was the Solomon Islands' first loss of 2023, having won their previous three. Felipe Vega-Arango's side will be aiming to return from their Asia trip with a win.
