The pre-match odds are one-sided and downwardly looking at the decline of the national football team: there is a high probability of losing, and it is difficult to draw
On the evening of November 16, Beijing time, the Chinese men's football team set off again and started the qualifying journey for the new World Cup. For the average national football team, the first away game against Thailand is crucial.
24 hours before the game, a number of well-known related websites also opened corresponding odds and data. Judging from the odds and data, almost all related websites are not optimistic about the national football team.
Thailand vs. China odds in this World Preliminary Tournament
The two teams have met five times in the last 11 years, with Thailand winning two, including the famous 5-1 tragedy, and the national team winning three.
The reference and comparison is the 2018 encounter, also with the Thai team at home, when the national football team won 2-0 away. Compared to that one, the initial odds for both games are relatively similar.
However, the trend after that was quite the opposite. In that meeting in 18 years, almost all companies significantly raised Thailand's winning odds and lowered the winning odds of the national football team, and the national football team also "followed the trend" to win away.
2018 Thailand home vs China odds and changes
In today's encounter, almost all companies are completely opposite, greatly reducing Thailand's winning cooperation, and giving hints through such actions, first optimistic about the Thai team's home game, and secondly optimistic about the draw, extremely unoptimistic about the national football team's victory.
When it comes to the Thai team, you can compare it with the Vietnamese team. The national football team lost away to Vietnam in the last World Cup qualifier, and compared it to the odds offered for that game. The website shows that the Thai team is several levels higher than the Vietnamese team.
Thailand's odds at home against Vietnam
However, in the last World Cup qualifiers, Thailand was in the same group as Vietnam, and both sides ended in a draw over both legs. Judging from the odds offered by a number of well-known websites, it was also determined that Thailand and Vietnam were on a par at that time.
Now that four years have passed, the strength of the national football team has declined too much, or has the strength of the Thai team increased greatly?
It is hoped that the national football team can take away 3 points away from home without being favored by many websites, and strive to usher in a good start to the world preliminaries.
