Turkmenistan vs Thailand: Asian Cup Prediction (10.06.2025)

On June 10, 2025, at 22:00 WIB in Ashgabat, a match for Asian Cup qualification between Turkmenistan and Thailand will take place. Both teams started the tournament with wins, and it is highly likely that these two will compete for first place in the group. Let’s look at the recent form of the teams and provide a prediction for the match.

Turkmenistan

The Turkmenistan national team performed poorly in the second stage of World Cup qualification. They did not win any matches in their group, earning only two points from draws against Hong Kong. That was enough for them to finish third in the group. Turkmenistan only managed to surpass Hong Kong thanks to a better goal difference — 4:14 compared to 4:15. In the Asian Cup qualification, the team started much better by beating Chinese Taipei 2-1. However, the win was secured only in the closing minutes of the match. The decisive goal was scored by Yazgulych Gurbanov in the 83rd minute.

Thailand

The Thailand national team looked much better in the second stage of World Cup qualification. They collected 8 points and finished third in the group, losing to China only on additional factors. Since then, Thailand has played a series of matches. Last autumn, they won the King’s Cup on home soil. In the ASEAN Championship, the “War Elephants” reached the final but were defeated by Vietnam. In the first match of the Asian Cup, Thailand won against Sri Lanka 1-0. Before the upcoming game, the “War Elephants” also played a friendly match against India, winning 2-0. Therefore, the players are in good shape and excellent spirits.

Statistics and Head-to-Head

These teams have only met once before, in 2022, in a friendly match. The game was a tight affair, but Thailand managed to snatch a late victory with a goal in the 88th minute (1-0).
