The Philippines host Chinese Taipei at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila on Monday in an international friendly.
The Street Dogs are coming into the match off the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Nepal on Thursday in another friendly game. Jarvey Gayoso scored the only goal of the game in the 49th minute to sink the Gorkhalis.
The victory ended the side's four-game losing run in all competitions and will look to build on it here.
The Philippines also have the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers coming up in November. Going into the campaign with a couple of wins under their belt could give them a head-start in the qualifiers too.
Chinese Taipei were also in action earlier this week, drawing 2-2 with Thailand in a thrilling friendly game.
An own goal from Kritsada Kaman in the 48th minute put the hosts 1-0 up. The War Elephants responded with goals from Teerasil Dangda and another own goal from Wang Ruei to complete the turnaround.
In the 87th minute, just three minutes after Thailand went ahead, Chen Ting-Yang scored for Chinese Taipei to salvage a draw.
