Monday's international friendly predictions including Indonesia vs. Argentina

sportsmole.co.uk, 19 June 2023, 05:05
Honduras vs. Barbados (Monday, 1.00am)

Honduras will step up their preparations for the CONCACAF Gold Cup when they play Barbados in a friendly on Sunday at Olympia Stadium Baton Rouge.

The hosts are coming into this clash off the back of a heavy defeat against Canada in the March international break, whilst Barbados will be looking to make it back-to-back victories.

We say: Honduras 2-0 Barbados

Honduras are fully focused on preparing for their Gold Cup campaign and should make easy work of seeing off a Barbados side who are enduring a run of poor form.

The Bajan Tridents will face a tough task on their travels this weekend, and it may turn into damage limitation for Costa's men in this one.

Macao vs. Myanmar (Monday, 10.00am)

Macao and Myanmar go in search of a much-needed victory when they face off in an international friendly encounter at the Dalian Pro Soccer Academy Base Stadium.

Neither team is on a good run of results heading into this one and Monday's encounter represents a good opportunity for both sides to get themselves back on track.

We say: Macao 0-1 Myanmar

Having not played together in a fairly lengthy period, Macao's squad chemistry is set to be tested against a Myanmar side who have been largely underwhelming of late, to say the least. We expect a nervy and cagey affair with the visitors narrowly coming out on top in the end.

Philippines vs. Chinese Taipei (Monday, 12.00pm)

Aiming to pick up consecutive victories for the first time in half a decade, Philippines welcome Chinese Taipei to Rizal Memorial Stadium on Monday afternoon.

On the other hand, the away side make the trip to Manila seeking to return to winning ways in what is only their second outing since the turn of the year.

We say: Philippines 2-1 Chinese Taipei

Buoyed by their impressive display last time out, Chinese Taipei will head into this one with the wind in their sails. Philippines, meanwhile, also have reason to be confident ahead of Monday's meeting which we expect to produce goals at both ends and a tight win for the hosts in the end.

Hong Kong vs. Thailand (Monday, 1.00pm)

Hong Kong continue ramping up preparations for the 2023 AFC Asia Cup as they take on Thailand in a friendly at the Hong Kong Stadium on Monday.

Having lost each of the last three meetings between the sides, the Dragons will head into the game looking to get one over the visitors and pick up their first win since last September.

We say: Hong Kong 1-2 Thailand

Hong Kong and Thailand have struggled to get going of late and will be looking to pick up a morale-boosting result on Monday. However, we predict the War Elephants will build on their draw against Chinese Taipei and claim a narrow victory in this one.

Jamaica vs. Jordan (Monday, 1.00pm)

Seeking to snap their run of seven consecutive games without a win, Jamaica take on Jordan in a friendly matchup at the Wiener Neustadt Ergo Arena on Monday.

The Reggae Boyz are wrapping up preparations for their 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign, which kicks off with a clash with USA at Soldier Field on June 25.

We say: Jamaica 1-1 Jordan

Jordan will head into Monday's game with confidence following their impressive display in the weekend loss against Serbia. Hamad's men take on a Jamaica side who are without a win in seven straight matches and we predict they will hold out for a share of the spoils at the Wiener Neustadt Ergo Arena.

Indonesia vs. Argentina (Monday, 1.30pm)

The reigning world champions Argentina will attempt to extend their unbeaten run to 10 matches when they face Indonesia in Jakarta on Monday.

The hosts, meanwhile, head into the friendly fixture in promising form after losing just one of their last 12 internationals.

We say: Indonesia 0-4 Argentina

Argentina may have to do without Messi, Di Maria and Otamendi, but their squad still boasts an array of talent, and with a number of fringe players eager to impress, we think the visitors will ease to a comfortable victory.

Qatar vs. New Zealand (Monday, 5.00pm)

Qatar will be looking to pick up successive wins for the first time since November 2023 when they take on New Zealand at the Estadio Franz Horr on Monday.

The Maroons are ramping up preparations for their 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign, which kicks off with a clash against Haiti at the NRG Stadium on June 25.

We say: Qatar 2-1 New Zealand

Following their solid performance against Jamaica, Qatar will fancy their chances against a New Zealand side who have lost their last four away matches. We predict the Maroons will pick up from where they dropped off on Friday and claim a narrow victory.
