Cambodia host Hong Kong at the Phnom Penh Olympic Stadium on Thursday in an international friendly.
Playing for only the third time this year, Cambodia are looking to pick up their first win of the 2023 calendar year.
The Koupreys of Cambodia were beaten 3-1 by Thailand in the AFF Championship in January, followed by a 1-0 loss at the hands of Bangladesh in a June friendly.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers set to begin in October, Cambodia will be looking to build momentum ahead of their first-round clash with Pakistan.
Hong Kong, are also yet to see a win this year, drawing one and losing three friendly games.
The Dragons began the year with a 1-1 draw against Singapore, but it has all gone downhill for them since then.
Malaysia beat Hong Kong 2-0, before Vietnam and Thailand pulled off a pair of 1-0 wins over the side.
After this month's double-header against Cambodia and Brunei, Hong Kong begin their World Cup qualifiers against Bhutan in a two-legged affair in the first round.

Cambodia vs Hong Kong Prediction
This is a clash of two lowly ranked teams, who have also struggled in their recent games. Cambodia have lost their last two games, and Hong Kong have been defeated in their last three encounters.
Given the lack of quality in the sides, this could be a damp affair; one that might well end goalless.
