The highlight of Group A of the 2024 AFF Cup is the clash between Thailand and Malaysia - the two leading candidates for a semi-final ticket. This match will be broadcast live on FPT Play, VTV2, VTV5 and VTV6.
After what happened in the last matches, many people no longer have faith in the Malaysian team. Before the tournament, coach Pau Marti Vicente could not call up many stars playing for Johor Darul Tazim or Terengganu.
But after the match with Timor Leste ended, this coach lost 6 more pillars including: Kalamullah Al-Hafiz, Khuzaimi Piee, Harith Haiqal and Aiman Hakimi (Selangor) and Stuart Wilkin and Darren Lok (Sabah FC). The clubs asked them to return to play domestic league.
It is no exaggeration to say that 1 point is also Malaysia's dream in the away match against Thailand. On the other side of the front line, the Thai team proved its strength when it defeated Timor Leste 10-0. Along with Vietnam, Thailand is the team with the most complete preparation for the 2024 AFF Cup. Although some veteran players are absent, coach Ishii Masatada still has stars like Suphanat, Supachok, Mickelson and Gustavsson.
Defeating Malaysia is a must for the Thai team, especially when they play at home. Playing at their best, Suphanat and his teammates will easily do this.
The situation in Group A has become more unpredictable after the second round of matches. Except for Thailand, who has proven their absolute strength, the remaining teams have not shown any significant difference. Malaysia, with a patchwork squad, is having a difficult time at the 2024 AFF Cup. They almost lost to Timor Leste at home when they were ahead in the first half.
The Cambodian team, which has 8 naturalized players, was expected to bring joy to fans but did not play very well. They lost 1-2 to Singapore and drew with Malaysia at home. Center back Khan Mo was injured and will likely be absent from upcoming matches.
Malaysia are currently leading the group with 4 points but not many people believe they can go far. Thailand are second in the group with 3 points but have played one match less. Singapore have 3 points and have also played 1 match. Timor Leste are bottom of the group and have not won any points. Meanwhile, Cambodia need to win both of their final 2 matches to be able to continue as this team has only 1 point.
