Have the Chinese already digested their defeat against South Korea?
While the last three participants in Europe will be determined via the 2024 European Championship play-offs, the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup are taking place on the Asian continent. The Chinese national team is right in the middle of it all. In a group with South Korea, Singapore and Thailand, the Chinese are fighting for a place in the next qualifying round.
The World Cup qualifiers started with a win against their Thai group rivals. However, there was a bitter defeat in the following group match against South Korea. China lost 3-0 and now occupy third place with the worse goal difference. In the third group match, they now face the hurdle against Singapore, who will be looking for points. Our Singapore vs. China betting tip is aimed at the visitors
China shouldn’t have too much trouble against the last-placed team in the group. Singapore not only conceded a clear defeat against South Korea, but have also recently been shown up by Thailand and lost 3-1. It is quite possible that the next defeat will follow.
Singapore have never won a match in the H2H against China anyway. The Singaporean national team even lost ten out of a total of twelve encounters. It is therefore also obvious to make a prediction on the favorite in Singapore vs. Bookmaker Bet3000 not only offers one of the best odds for this betting tip.

Singapore – Statistics & current form
Singapore has never been represented at a World Cup. This negative trend is likely to continue at the 2026 World Cup. After two group games in the second qualifying phase for the upcoming World Cup, the Lions are bottom of Group C.
They not only suffered two defeats in the first two qualifying matches. Singapore also conceded eight goals, making them one of the weakest nations in the current World Cup qualifiers in the AFC zone. Consequently, the Singaporean national team will approach the match against China as comparatively clear underdogs.
Odds of 11.50 are currently available for a Singapore vs. China bet on the home side. If you want to bet on the underdogs in this match despite the host nation’s recent form, you can also use a free bet. If the Singaporean national team is successful, the minimum odds criterion will also be met.
Will Singapore once again only score points?
Singapore have lost their last three international matches against China. The last time the two nations met was in 2013. Back then, the Lions conceded 6-1 to the Chinese national team, the second time in a row they had conceded 4+ goals in an H2H with China. It is quite possible that the negative trend will continue this time.
After the 3:1 defeat against Thailand, it would be more than surprising if Singapore managed a defiant reaction. Ikhsan Fandi is the most dangerous player in Singapore’s ranks. The 24-year-old leads the Lion’s internal scoring charts with 17 goals in 34 appearances and plays at club level for Thai club BG Pathum United.
Predicted Singapore line-up:
Sunny – Nazari, Baharudin, Mahler, Stewart – Song, Harun, Arifin, Kweh – Fandi, Anuar
China – Statistics & current form
China started the second qualifying round of the 2026 AFC World Cup qualifiers with a win against Thailand, but head coach Branko Ivankovic’s team lost their second group match against group favorites South Korea. China conceded a 3-0 defeat in front of their home crowd. It was the start of an ongoing negative streak for the Chinese.
They have not won any of their last six international matches in all competitions. China even lost four of these six matches, including the match against Qatar at the 2024 Asian Cup. The Chinese conceded a 1-0 defeat against the hosts of the 2024 Asian Cup.
It was also the third international match in a row in which China failed to score. The goal drought can be ended against Singapore. The last time the Chinese national team faced Singapore, Ivankovic’s team celebrated a 6-1 victory. It cannot be ruled out that China will also deliver offensive fireworks this time
Shooting themselves out of their form crisis?
China still have a realistic chance of reaching the next round of World Cup qualifying. In the H2H against Thailand, the Chinese national team won on foreign soil. The second round duel will take place in front of a home crowd. The focus is now on the match against Singapore ahead of the landmark showdown.
It is a must-win game for China. The FIFA World No. 88 has never lost to Singapore in twelve H2Hs. China even won ten of these twelve matches. It is therefore also obvious to place a bet on the Chinese in Singapore vs. China this time

Singapore and China meet for the 13th time. The Chinese lead the H2H against Singapore with a record of 10-2-0. In those twelve H2Hs, China scored 30 goals.

Singapore – China betting tip
China are out to make amends after their poor performance in the Asian Championship. Against Singapore, national coach Ivankovic’s team will be looking to get back on track and keep their chances of qualifying for the next round alive. The defeat in the last group game against South Korea will be something China will have to cope with.
After all, the South Koreans are the clear favorites in the group. China, on the other hand, are aiming to progress to the next round as group runners-up. The match against Singapore is a must-win for the Chinese. So far, their upcoming opponents have been a points supplier and have already suffered clear defeats against South Korea and Thailand
We expect Singapore to lose again this time. The only question is how big the home defeat will be this time. Our Singapore vs. China betting tip targets “HT/FT: 2/2” at odds of 1.77. We are betting on five units for this one.
