Thailand have the upper-hand in their goalscoring rate in this tournament, beating Malaysia by over a whole point. The War Elephants have also conceded just half as many as the Harimau Malaya have. Let’s now take a closer look at both teams.
Malaysia v Thailand Match Prediction – Preview
Malaysia
Malaysia ended the group stage second in group B with nine points. On the last day of the group stage, the 2010 AFF Champions defeated Causeway neighbours Singapore 4-1 at Bukit Jalil Stadium. Darren Lok headed home to give the Harimau Malaya a 1-0 lead at the half. Stuart Wilkin then netted a 4-minute brace after the break to put the Malaysians comfortably ahead. The Lions’ Faris Ramli pulled one back with five minutes to play, but Ezequiel Aguero responded with a strike three minutes later to book the Malaysians’ spot in the semi-finals. Manager Kim Pan-gon and his men now have to face the defending champions, who are favourites to retain the title. Can the Harimau disrupt this first thing in the first leg?
Thailand
Thailand ended the group stage on top of Group A with 10 points. The six-time Southeast-Asian Champions saw off Cambodia 3-1 at the Thammasat Stadium to end their group campaign with a bang. In the first half, Teerasil Dangda converted from the spot after Cambodian Yeu Muslim took down Sasalak Haiprakhon. After the break, substitute Sumanya Purisai doubled the lead for the War Elephants. The Angkor Warriors cut the lead down to a half with Sieng Chanthea netting, but Teerasil struck yet again at the 90th minute mark to claim their semi-final slot. Manager Alexandre Polking declared that the Thais are “halfway to their target” after the victory, as defending the title is still the bigger task at hand. As they face the Harimau Malaya on their turf, can the War Elephants muster another show of dominance?
Malaysia v Thailand Match Prediction – Final Thoughts
This encounter promises to be another epic one for two of the most passionate football countries in ASEAN. Malaysia have just enough to make an impact at home, even in the face of the defending champions. However, Thailand have the Harimau Malaya outmatched in both goalscoring and goal concessions, and are still hungry despite being the holders. So expect the War Elephants to eke out a narrow away victory before a deserved trip home for the second leg. With that, let’s take a look at our prediction.
