In my opinion Kyrgyzstan has superb chances to make at least one point in today’s match.

Kyrgyzstan is ranked higher in FIFA ranking than Thailand and at the moment looks like a more settled team. Their coach Stefan Tarkovic has been with the team since the middle of 2023. Squad looks balanced well with a couple youngsters and with only a couple players over 30 years old. At the start of the work of coach Tarkovic things didn't look great, but at the moment Kyrgyzstan moving in a good direction. In their last match in World Cup qualies they recorded a win against solid Oman (ranked in top75 of Fifa Ranking). In last friendly game before this tournament Kyrgyzstan won 2:1 against Vietnam and it's a promising result because Vietnam was able to score 2 goals in the opening group match against superb Japan.

On the other hand, it is very hard to trust Thailand. I don’t see much potential for improvement as they have the oldest squad in the current edition of Asian Cup. Their results in 2023 looked very bad, no doubt about that. For example they recorded very painful 0:8 loss against Georgia (#77). After loss at home against China in World Cup qualies they decided to not continue cooperation with their coach. New coach on the bench, but team stil not looking good. In the last friendly game before the Asian Cup Thailand lost 0:5 against the Japanese team and looked really hopeless.

Kyrgyzstan is a better team with better structure, with more rhythm on the pitch and is in better form. That should be visible on the pitch and I really don’t see them as an underdog in this game.

在我看来，吉尔吉斯斯坦在今天的比赛中有极好的机会至少得一分。

吉尔吉斯斯坦在国际足联的排名高于泰国，目前看起来是一支更稳定的球队。他们的教练斯特凡·塔科维奇(Stefan Tarkovic)自2023年年中以来一直在球队工作。阵容看起来很平衡，有几个年轻人，只有几个30岁以上的球员。在教练塔科维奇的工作开始时，事情看起来并不好，但目前吉尔吉斯斯坦正在朝着一个好的方向前进。在世界杯预选赛的最后一场比赛中，他们战胜了实力雄厚的阿曼(国际足联排名前75位)。在本次比赛之前的最后一场友谊赛中，吉尔吉斯斯坦2:1战胜越南，这是一个很有希望的结果，因为越南在小组赛首场对阵日本队的比赛中进了2球。

另一方面，很难信任泰国。我不认为他们有很大的提升潜力，因为他们拥有本届亚洲杯最老的阵容。毫无疑问，他们在2023年的结果看起来非常糟糕。例如，他们以0:8输给了格鲁吉亚(排名第77)。在世界杯预选赛主场输给中国队后，他们决定不再继续与教练合作。新教练坐上了板凳，但球队看起来还是不太好。在亚洲杯前的最后一场友谊赛中，泰国以0:5输给了日本队，看起来真的很绝望。

吉尔吉斯斯坦是一支更好的球队，有更好的结构，在球场上有更多的节奏，状态也更好。这在球场上应该是显而易见的，我真的不认为他们在这场比赛中处于劣势。
