Turkmenistan vs Chinese Taipei Prediction and Betting Tips | 18th November 2025

Turkmenistan host Chinese Taipei on Tuesday in the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, looking to take another step closer to sealing their finals berth. With three wins and nine points in four games, the Emerald are currently leading the race in Group D ahead of Thailand by virtue of the head-to-head record.

After starting their campaign with a narrow 2-1 defeat of Chinese Taipei, the Central Asian side beat the War Elephants 3-1 on matchday two.

A shock 1-0 loss to lowly Sri Lanka in their next game appeared to puncture their momentum, but Turkmenistan avenged it with a 2-1 win in the return clash.

Head coach Rovshen Meredov has called up 18 players for this month's clash with Thailand, including key forward Altymyrat Annadurdyýew, who has nine goals from 35 games.

Ranked 142nd in the world, the Greens face a must-win clash here ahead of the showdown with Thailand on the final day of the qualifiers in March 2026.

By contrast, Chinese Taipei have already been eliminated from the race for the Asian Cup, having lost every single qualifying fixture of their campaign to sit rock-bottom in the standings without a single point in the bag.

In their most recent qualifier, the Blue Wings were thrashed 6-1 by Thailand, powered by a sensational hat-trick from Teerasak Poeiphimai.
