Cambodia is making their first appearance since suffering a 1-0 defeat to Pakistan in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers last October. Ranked 173rd globally, the Kouprey are among the bottom 40 teams worldwide, lacking a history of producing world-class talent. Leading up to this match, Cambodia has endured three consecutive winless outings, including a loss to Pakistan and a goalless draw in their inaugural encounter with them in October.
Equatorial Guinea
This will mark Equatorial Guinea's first match since their elimination in the round of 16 of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where they suffered a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat to Guinea deep into stoppage time, halting the National Thunder's impressive run. Head coach Juan Micha has unveiled a 23-man squad for the FIFA series, which includes emerging talent Pedro Oba, who has scored five goals in 14 appearances for his nation. Additionally, five uncapped players have earned call-ups for this upcoming encounter.
Expert Betting Tips
Equatorial Guinea may not be considered a formidable team, but they do have several quality attacking options that could pose a threat to Cambodia. Despite Cambodia's struggles against stronger opponents, if Equatorial Guinea performs at their best, similar to their showing in the AFCON, they have the potential to secure a victory in this match.
