Palestine vs Philippines Prediction
Palestine and the Philippines both made it to the finals of the 2019 Asian Cup and hope to qualify for the finals this time as well. Palestine are solid in two games so far and will be strong favorites against Street Dogs.
The Philippines have a solid defense but have only scored one goal in their two qualifying matches. A win here will greatly help Palestine book a place in the Asian Cup finals for the third time in a row, so they are expected to put in their maximum performance in this match.
The Philippines may be able to put up a fight here but they are in a bit of a bad form in front of goal, which might be their loss in this clash. We support Palestine to be top in this match.
