Doing something rare, Malaysia determined to defeat Vietnam in the Asian qualifiers

According to the schedule, the match between Malaysia and Vietnam in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup will take place on June 10, 2025.

Malaysia determined to defeat Vietnam in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

But from this point on, Malaysia has started planning to aim for 3 points against the red team.

The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) is said to have finalized a plan for the national team to gather from May.

Notably, during the gathering, the yellow and black team will have 2 friendly matches and then enter the match with the Vietnamese team.

Normally, teams only play 2 matches in each FIFA meeting. Therefore, it is quite rare for Malaysia to play 3 matches.

Explaining this decision, Malaysia head coach Peter Cklamovski said: “We are facing a difficult situation as the season ends at the end of April. The players need to warm up before playing against Vietnam.

We need to make sure that the team is properly prepared. We will focus on Vietnam, Malaysia's biggest rival in this qualifier. We have to make sure that our preparation is the best for this battle."

This preparation is enough to see Malaysia's determination to win against the "Golden Star Warriors".

In the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, Malaysia was placed in a group with Vietnam, Laos and Nepal.

Among these, only the Vietnamese team is considered a worthy opponent of the "Tigers".

Therefore, the mandatory task of Peter Cklamovski and his team is to beat the Vietnamese team to create an advantage in the race for a ticket to the next round.

But this is certainly a very difficult task. It is worth noting that in the last 8 encounters, Malaysia has not known victory against the Vietnamese team (7 losses, 1 draw).
