Pre-match information
In the third round of the 2024 ASEAN Cup group stage, Thailand will host Malaysia at home. This is a huge advantage for the Golden Temple team.
Currently, Malaysia is temporarily leading the rankings after 2 matches. The "Malaysian Tigers" had a 2-2 draw with Cambodia and defeated Timor Leste with a close score of 3-2.
Meanwhile, Thailand has only played one match, got 3 points after a 10-0 victory over Timor Leste and ranked second in the group. Therefore, they have a chance to usurp Malaysia if they overcome this opponent in the upcoming direct confrontation.
At this time, the Thai team is rated much higher than Malaysia. Their strength comes from young players such as Suphanat, Benjamin Davis, Supachok, Patrik... even though they no longer have the services of Chanathip, Theerathon or Dangda...
On the other side, the Malaysian team faced a big problem when 6 players in the main squad had to return to their home clubs and 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 coach Pau Marti Vicente and his team, because the Golden Temple team will keep 3 points at home at all costs.
