However, they need to be precise in their passes in front of the opponent's goal. Minute 28: Thailand played more aggressively but still could not make a difference against Malaysia.

This is a huge advantage for the team from the Golden Temple. Currently, Malaysia is temporarily leading the rankings after 2 matches. The "Malaysian Tigers" drew 2-2 with Cambodia and defeated Timor Leste with a close score of 3-2. Meanwhile, Thailand has only played 1 match, got 3 points after a 10-0 victory over Timor Leste and ranked second in the group. Therefore, they have a chance to dethrone Malaysia if they overcome this opponent in the upcoming direct match. At this time, Thailand is rated much higher than Malaysia. Their strength comes from young players such as Suphanat, Benjamin Davis, Supachok, Patrik... even though Chanathip, Theerathon or Dangda are no longer available... On the other side, the Malaysian team has a big problem when 6 players in the main squad have to return to their home clubs and will not continue to participate in the ASEAN Cup. This forced coach Pau Marti Vicente to make many personnel and tactical adjustments, but did not bring much hope. Facing Thailand in this match is a huge challenge for Malaysia. Not many people think of a positive result for Pau Marti Vicente and his team, because the Golden Temple team will keep 3 points at home at all costs.
