Thailand is a regular participant in the Asian Cup, although it is not some kind of top rival in the region. Thailand looks confident against outsiders, especially since the level of the Thai leagues is quite high in the region, and there are also players from the European competitions.
The Maldives are clear outsiders in this group, able to compete only with other outsiders of their region, such as Sri Lanka or Nepal.
The national teams met not so long ago in a friendly match, then Thailand got a crushing win, and we believe this will happen today as well.
Our prediction: Thailand to win comfortably. We recommend the “1 Hand (-2)” bet, odds 1.46
