The Malaysian Football team comes into this match with hopes of completing their task, qualifying for the Finals of the AFF Championship. Thailand on the other hand will have to test their abilities of turning around results, hoping for a chance for the Finals. These two teams are meeting for the second leg of their semis match. This match will be on January 10, 2023, at 8:30 PM (GMT+8), when Thailand host this match. During the first leg of their semis, it was Malaysia who took home the victory, in a 1-0 win.
During the last six meetings between these two teams, Thailand is not doing well, as they lost to three. Two were drawn by these two teams, while one was won by Malaysia, which is the first leg of their semis. However, the hosts are playing well at home, winning four in their last five home games. Additionally, they had 13 goals in their last five games, while conceding three. As for Malaysia, their away games is not bad, but they could do better, winning only two of their last five away games. They can gain confidence from the fact that they are leading the series. However, a one goal lead for them is not a safe lead.
Malaysia
After winning the first leg of their semis match, Malaysia are now looking to widen their goal difference to enter the Finals. They won a 1-0 victory on that meeting, all thanks to the 11th-minute opener goal of Faisal. This squad is hungry to get the title now that they have the advantage since they last won the title in 2010. They are hoping to improve their record in the tournament. Malaysia currently hold a one-goal lead, and although that lead is not safe, it is still good to have an advantage before this match. This squad can gain confidence from the fact that they won three of their last five games against Thailand. From those five matches, they have not tasted defeat.
Thailand
Considering that this match will be hosted by Thailand, they are capable of turning the tables around in this match. The Finals are no longer new for Thailand as they are the most successful team in the contest, winning five titles. In fact, they are the defending champions, and are ready to prove that they are a team to beat in this match. However, although they are the defending champions, they should not be overconfident, especially that they are at the disadvantage. As they have the tournament’s top scorer, expect this team to have a shootout in this match. Having guys like Teerasil Dangda, and Peeradon Chamratsamee is a huge advantage for the defending champions.
Prediction:
Thailand (2.5)
Odds: -0.80
