Prediction before the match Philippines vs Tajikistan
It has been 6 years since the Philippines last participated in the Asian Cup. The past 6 years have witnessed the ups and downs of this football industry. Philippine football has relied heavily on naturalized players.
In fact, in recent tournaments, most of the players they brought with them played abroad, scattered in European countries and the US. But after a short period of success with Etheridge, Hartmann, Schrock..., the Philippine team declined, causing them to continuously suffer forgettable results.
At the ASEAN Cup 2024, the Philippines will bring a squad with more than two-thirds coming from countries with developed football. All of them have some Filipino blood inherited from their grandparents and parents. It is quite similar to what Indonesia is doing when this country relies on players of Dutch origin.
This time, with a new generation of ambitious and talented players such as Rublico, Reyes, Kristensen..., Philippine football is making a strong comeback. They defeated Thailand to surpass the Golden Temple team for the first time in history. They reached the semi-finals of an AFF Cup for the first time in 6 years. These are the achievements that give the Philippines the confidence to continue to perform well in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

Form, history of confrontations Philippines vs Tajikistan
However, before entering this series of matches, the Philippines received bad news with the farewell of coach Capellas. It is unclear what incident caused him to leave suddenly, but this is certainly a loss that is difficult to fill for the Philippine team because Capellas is the architect of the long-term plan that this football is pursuing. Thanks to Capellas' wise decisions, the Philippines played very well in the 2024 ASEAN Cup. They were the only team that did not lose to the defending champion Vietnam in that campaign.
Meanwhile, Tajikistan also has high hopes for a successful journey after many incidents. This team played well in the 2023 Asian Cup when they reached the quarterfinals. However, they suddenly declined and were eliminated in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup. Since this incident, Tajikistan has made a series of changes from the coaching staff to the force. But they have not yet returned to their good form as in the past.
The clearest evidence is that in the match against the Philippines last year, the Tajikistan team surprisingly lost 3-0. Their recent victories have only come against the weakest teams in Asia. When meeting Timor Leste, which is considered low-rated, Tajikistan only won by a minimum.
With a team that has caused many big names in Asia to struggle, Tajikistan is clearly bringing great disappointment to fans. Today, in the final match of Group A, it is hard to believe that this team will return in time to achieve good results on the opponent's field, even though the Philippines is without a talented captain.
Expected lineup Philippines vs Tajikistan
Philippines: Kammeraad, Aguinaldo, Kempter, Ugelvik, Tabinas, Baldisimo, Bailey, Monis, Gayoso, Reyes, Mariona.
Tajikistan: Baklov, Nazarov, Hanonov, Safarov, Dzhalilov, Umarbayev, Juraboev, Dzhuraboev, Panjshanbe, Samiev, Kamolov.
Score prediction: Philippines 1-0 Tajikistan
