Coach Kiatisuk: "Thailand will beat the Chinese team by two goals"

Coach Kiatisuk Senamuang is currently leading Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club in V-League. However, this coach is always interested by Thai people. Before the Golden Temple country team entered the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia, "Thai Zico" gave his opinion.

Coach Kiatisuk said: "I think the Chinese team is not as strong as before. They also only use one naturalized player (midfielder Li Ke, born in England), which is very different from themselves in previous years."

"I think Thailand has the advantage of playing at home and receiving the support of the home crowd," coach Kiatisuk added.

Of course, "Thai Zico" did not forget to analyze Thailand's strengths compared to the Chinese team at the present time. At the same time, the very popular coach in Thailand also pointed out how the Golden Temple team could win.

Coach Kiatisuk shared: "The Thai team's lineup is very even. Our defenders, midfielders, and strikers are all strong. All the Thai football stars who are playing abroad have returned. We also have more potential players."

"I think Thailand will win all three points and score at least two goals against China. One goal will be scored by Thailand in the first half and one goal will be scored in the second half," coach Kiatisuk affirmed.

The match between Thailand and China will take place at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow (November 16) at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok (Thailand). In Group C of the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia, in addition to Thailand and China, there are also South Korea and Singapore.

In theory, South Korea is the strongest team in Group C, while Singapore is the weakest team. Therefore, Thailand and China will compete for the second place in the group, as well as the second ticket in Group C to the third qualifying round.
