Match preview — Yangon United set to sharpen teeth at home
Yangon United arrive at the Yangon United Sport Complex on December 24 bristling with confidence and an attack that has been ruthless this season. With six wins, zero draws and a single loss from seven matches, Yangon have piled up 24 goals while conceding just twice — a record that underlines both firepower and defensive organisation. Their recent sequence reads like a statement of intent: a sequence of wins that includes a 9-0 demolition away at Dagon Port and a 6-0 victory earlier in the campaign. The momentum is obvious and the home stadium, modest but loud with its 3,500 capacity, is the natural stage for them to keep driving their title ambitions in this Regular Season round nine fixture.
Ayeyawady United’s challenge — resilience but fragile stability
Ayeyawady United travel with a mixed bag of results. Sitting seventh in the standings with three wins, one draw and four losses from eight matches, they boast moments of quality — including a 4-0 away triumph at Dagon Port — but inconsistency has been their undoing. The goals column tells the story: 10 scored and 11 conceded, a negative goal difference that clashes with the higher attacking numbers they register in build-up statistics. Their form pattern shows flashes of competitiveness, yet away from home they have shipped more goals than they have netted, and their most recent outing ended in a 1-2 reverse to Sagaing United. That variability will be ruthlessly exposed if Yangon impose the tempo.
Tactical glance and key numbers
Statistically, Yangon’s defensive solidity stands out — six clean sheets and only two goals conceded in total — while their attacking averages yield a high conversion rate in results if not always in raw shot percentages. Ayeyawady, conversely, produce more attacks on paper but struggle to turn pressure into consistent rewards; their shots off target are relatively high and their defensive fragility on the road is a concern. The previous meeting this year underlines the gulf: Ayeyawady at home fell 0-4 to Yangon, a result that looms large in assessing psychological edges.
For bettors weighing market choices, smart selection will be informed by Yangon’s dominant home displays and Ayeyawady’s porous away record.

Betting suggestion Yangon United to win (1) looks the clearest play. Their home form, overwhelming goal difference and recent 4-0 victory over Ayeyawady earlier in the season make the 1X2 market the most attractive single-market bet for this clash.
