HK face Mauritius, set sights on third straight win

Hong Kong will be looking to record their third straight victory under newly-appointed head coach Ashley Westwood as they take on Mauritius on Tuesday in an international football friendly at Mong Kok Stadium. A win over Mauritius could see the 48-year-old Englishman become the first Hong Kong manager since Kim Pan-gon in 2016 to win three consecutive matches, following a pair of convincing showings over Cambodia and the Philippines. RTHK's Asia football correspondent, Chris KL Lau, says Westwood will look to experiment with his line-up. But he also acknowledged the challenges of facing a competitive, 178th-ranked Mauritius side. "Hong Kong will want to extend their momentum fresh off their win over the Philippines," Lau noted. "Westwood may use this game to experiment with his line-up, though fans can expect another entertaining, forward-thinking, and attacking Hong Kong team." Mauritius, meanwhile, enter the match-up having recorded away defeats to Syria and India in September. Avoiding defeat also guarantees Hong Kong a place in pot two for December's AFC Asian Cup qualifying draw, following Singapore's loss to Chinese Taipei.
