Two days ago, Malaysia's leading English daily New Straits Times reported: "After the Malaysia Cup final on April 26, the 2024-2025 Malaysian football season has come to an end. Our focus now shifts to the preparation process for the national team, for the very important match with the Vietnamese team in Group F of the 3rd qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup. Regarding this match, coach Peter Cklamovski probably has in mind the list of players he will call up to the national team."

The match between Vietnam and Malaysia will take place on June 10 at Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). To prepare for this match, the team nicknamed Harimau Malaya will probably prepare very early.

According to information from the Malaysian media, coach Peter Cklamovski can gather the national team from mid-May, in time for international friendly matches, before returning to the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers in early June. The first move that coach Peter Cklamovski made for this gathering was to withdraw two players Dominic Tan and Sergio Aguero from the Southeast Asian all-star team, which will compete with Manchester United (England) on May 28.

Meanwhile, the Malaysian newspaper Astro , in its April 30 issue, warned the Malaysian team about the Vietnamese team early: "The Vietnamese team is gradually separating itself from the level of Southeast Asian football, they are gradually creating a gap with the remaining teams in the region. Therefore, the Vietnamese team is a big challenge for Malaysian football. Under coach Kim Sang-sik, the Vietnamese team has been in excellent form, they have been undefeated since the 2024 AFF Cup until now.

The 5-0 victory over Laos in March was a warning from the Vietnamese team to the Malaysian team in the race for a ticket to the 2027 Asian Cup. The Malaysian team needs to be very focused, in the last meeting between the two teams in an official tournament, the Vietnamese team beat Harimau Malaya 3-0 at the 2022 AFF Cup.
