Football tips for 9 June 2026: analysis of 2 key matches to watch, including the Thailand national team and today's football schedule.
On 9 June 2026, football tips include a friendly match featuring the Thailand national team in their second game during the June FIFA international window, along with another warm-up match preparing teams for the 2026 World Cup. Let's follow the football analysis and predictions for these two key matches.
- World Cup 2026 warm-up match / Kick-off at 09:00
Spain will play their final warm-up before competing in their 17th World Cup and aiming for their second title since 2010. However, the "La Roja" have not been strong in their last four matches, drawing three and winning only once—the latest being a 1-1 draw with Iraq. Still, they have not lost since losing on penalties to Portugal in the 2025 UEFA Nations League final (record since then: 22 wins, 6 draws). For this match, Spain likely won’t rush to use Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, and Mikel Merino who recently recovered from injuries. The attack will feature Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo, and Alex Baena supporting striker Borja Iglesias.
Peru missed out on the World Cup for the second consecutive time, finishing 9th in the South American qualifiers with 2 wins, 6 draws, and 10 losses. Afterwards, they played 7 friendlies, winning 2, drawing 2, and losing 3, with only one game without scoring. However, they have not won two matches in a row for 14 months, with their latest win a 2-1 victory over Haiti. Peru will be without key attackers Joao Grimaldo and Alex Valera, leaving Johnny Vidales, Jairo Velez, and Kenji Cabrera. It seems unlikely they can withstand a more determined Spain.
Prediction Spain will comfortably defeat Peru.
- FIFA international friendly / Kick-off at 18:35 *Live broadcast on Thairath TV Channel 32 - Thairath Sport
Anthony Hudson lost his 100% winning record in the latest game, a 2-2 draw with Kuwait, despite leading 2-0. Still, the "War Elephants" remain unbeaten in six matches (5 wins, 1 draw), scoring 19 goals and conceding 6. In their last 9 matches against China, the teams have been evenly matched: Thailand won 3, drew 2, including two away wins. For this game, Erawan Garnier, Jude Sunthap-Bell, and Theeraphat Pruethong—three players based abroad—may start after appearing as substitutes against Kuwait. There may also be some lineup changes.
China has played 11 matches in all competitions since 2025, with 5 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses. Their last three games were a 2-0 win over Curaçao, a 0-2 loss to Cameroon, and a 2-1 win over Singapore. Against Thailand, China has won 4 and lost 3 in their last 9 matches, with their latest meeting a 1-1 draw in the 2026 World Cup qualifier in Shenyang two years ago. This time, they have Wu Lei, a key striker who is not suspended as before, plus naturalized Brazilian playmaker Serginho. The match should be competitive and could end in another draw.
Prediction A high-scoring draw is likely.
