CHN vs TAJ Dream11 Prediction

• China has very good form in recent matches, most probably they will win this match.
• China is one of the most consistent sides in the Asian Cup but is yet to win the tournament. Their best performance came as runners-up on two occasions and the odds are against them bettering that this time around.
• Tajikistan are the only debutants in the competition this year but have received a relatively favorable draw. Petar Segrts side are also coming into the tournament in good form and will fancy their chances of qualification to the knockout round. Although one side could nick a win here, we are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a goalless stalemate. China PR 0-0 Tajikistan
