Match Preview:
The Yongin Mireu Stadium in South Korea sets the stage for a critical EAFF E-1 Football Championship 2025 clash between China and Hong Kong on the final matchday. With both teams suffering two defeats so far, this encounter is all about avoiding the dreaded bottom spot.

China currently holds a slender advantage over Hong Kong on goal difference, both having endured tough losses to tournament favorites South Korea and Japan. China's campaign began with a 3-0 defeat to the hosts, followed by a 2-0 loss against a rotated Japanese squad. This extends a concerning trend for China, who have now lost five of their last six matches, failing to score in any of those defeats.

Hong Kong, meanwhile, registered their only goal of the tournament in a heavy 6-1 opening defeat to Japan. They then succumbed to a 2-0 loss against South Korea. Despite this, Hong Kong's recent form shows a slightly better record with only three defeats in their last seven outings.

Match Prediction:
Expect a cagey affair with both teams desperate to salvage some pride. Our prediction points to a low-scoring match, with under 2.5 goals highly likely.
