Singapore vs China prediction: team news, lineups, expert analysis
Friendly International
On June 5, 2026, a friendly match between the national teams of Singapore and China will take place. Both sides believe in their success.
Singapore vs China: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Singapore national team has shown little recently. Their World Cup qualifying campaign ended two years ago, when they picked up just one point in six matches in the preliminary group—ironically, against their current opponent. At the ASEAN Championship, they lost twice to Vietnam. However, their Asian Cup qualification efforts have been more promising so far. Most recently, they thrashed Mongolia 4-0 in a friendly.
China has only ever qualified for the World Cup once. Their last qualification attempt was also unsuccessful. Despite reaching the final round, they managed just nine points in ten matches—only Bahrain had fewer. In March, during the FIFA Series, they defeated Curaçao but lost to Cameroon.
The hosts average 1.9 goals scored per match, conceding exactly 1.1 in return. Shao Jiayi's side, meanwhile, score just 0.5 goals per game, conceding almost three times as many—1.4 on average.
Previous Matches: Singapore vs China
There have been nine head-to-head encounters in total. With three draws, China won all the remaining matches—including one two years ago in World Cup qualification.
It seems the hosts may be able to rewrite their history this time. We believe they will avoid defeat—it's safe to back them with a "+1.5" handicap (odds – 1.60).
