Preview: Hun Sen Cup Showdown Set for Wednesday

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (Interstat) — A crucial Hun Sen Cup matchup will see Boeung Ket host Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng FC on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, in a clash of Cambodian football contenders.

The game is a rematch of a league encounter from March 22 that ended in a 0-0 stalemate. This cup tie offers both sides a chance to break the deadlock and advance in the prestigious domestic knockout competition.

Boeung Ket enters with momentum from a 3-1 away victory over NagaWorld on April 12. Their recent form, however, has been inconsistent. The Blue Dragon’s last five matches across all competitions include two wins, two draws and one loss. They have been strong defensively at times, keeping clean sheets in three of their last five outings, but have also shown vulnerability.

Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng FC carries the confidence of a potent attacking display in its most recent fixture, a 5-2 road win against Battambang United FC on Jan. 21. That result highlights the threat they pose going forward.

The statistical projection service Interstat forecasts a 2-2 draw, suggesting a tightly contested match that could require extra time or penalties to decide.

This contest is the first of a quick home-and-away sequence between the two clubs in the Hun Sen Cup. They are scheduled to meet again just seven days later on April 29, with Svay Rieng hosting the second leg.

For Boeung Ket, securing a positive result at home is critical before the return trip. For Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng FC, an away goal or victory would provide a significant advantage in the two-legged tie.

The winner of this aggregate series will move a step closer to claiming one of Cambodian football’s most coveted trophies.
