Hong Kong vs Mauritius Prediction and Betting Tips | 19th November 2024

Hong Kong host Mauritius at the Mong Kok Stadium on Tuesday for an international friendly game, aiming to register their third consecutive win. The Dragons are coming off the back of a 3-1 friendly win over the Philippines on Thursday, which was preceded by a 3-0 thrashing of Cambodia.

Having won just once from their previous 10 outings, Ashley Westwood's side have now won two in a row, a first for them this calendar year.

Star forward Matthew Orr is currently on fire, netting five goals in their last five games, which is one of the main reasons for the side's upturn in form in the second half of 2024.

In what's their last friendly game of the year, Hong Kong are looking to end on a high with another positive result. They'd be especially motivated to see their rivals come into the fixture in struggling form.

Les Dodos have won just once in six official games this year, a 2-1 win over Eswatini in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, and lost four times. It includes a 2-0 defeat to Syria in the 2024 Intercontinental Cup last month, their last official fixture.

Hong Kong vs Mauritius Prediction

The Dragons have picked up some steam following back-to-back wins. A menacing attacking game coupled with a stoic defense helped them get through, and they will be looking to implement the blueprint here too.

Les Dodo, by comparison, not only lack gametime but also the quality to match them.

Prediction: Hong Kong 2-1 Mauritius
