Preview

Match preview

China host Palestine in an international friendly looking to rebound from a 3-0 home defeat against New Zealand. Across their last five matches, China have secured two victories, two draws, and suffered one defeat, maintaining a home goal average of 1.0 scored and 1.0 conceded per fixture.

Palestine enter this contest on an encouraging four-match unbeaten run, comprising one win and three draws. Their most recent outing delivered a 4-2 away victory over Tajikistan, following a 2-2 draw against New Zealand and consecutive goalless draws against Kyrgyzstan. Their defensive record on the road has been sturdy, yielding two clean sheets from three away fixtures and conceding an average of just 0.7 goals per game.

Previous head-to-head encounters suggest a tightly contested affair. China defeated Palestine 2-0 in their most recent friendly meeting in June 2023, following a 1-1 draw in 2018. With both sides demonstrating disciplined setups and relatively low-scoring trends in recent months, another balanced matchup is anticipated.
