Syria vs Kyrgyzstan Prediction and Betting Tips | January 5th 2024

Syria will face Kyrgyzstan at the Titanic Mardan Stadium on Thursday in another friendly clash between the two sides.

The Qasioun Eagles are set to make back-to-back appearances in the AFC Asian Cup this month for the first time since the 1980s and will finalize their preparations for the tournament in Qatar this week. They were thrashed 5-0 by Japan in their last match and were rather fortunate not to have lost by an even larger margin after a poor performance.

Following Thursday's game, Syria will face Malaysia in yet another friendly outing before facing Uzbekistan in their group opener next Saturday.

Kyrgyzstan will also play in the Asian Cup this month, finding themselves in a group with Thailand, Saudi Arabia and Oman. They were beaten 1-0 by the United Arab Emirates in a friendly clash last time out and had looked set to be headed toward a goalless draw before their opponents scored from the spot at the death.

The White Falcons will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways ahead of their tournament opener later this month.
