Within the framework of Group B of the 2025 SEA Games women's football, the confrontation between the Malaysian women's team and the Myanmar women's team is attracting great attention as the two teams enter the match with completely opposite attitudes.
Myanmar women's team unexpectedly defeated the Philippines.
On one side is Myanmar, a team that has had a good start and shown stable performance. On the other side is Malaysia, a team that is still struggling to find a solution for its fragile defense after a heavy defeat in the opening match.
The Myanmar women's team has shown remarkable progress in recent times. After the opening match, they are currently ranked second in Group B with 3 points, thanks to a 2-1 victory over the Philippines women's team.
This is a significant victory, not only helping Myanmar gain an advantage in the race for a ticket to the semi-finals, but also creating a psychological momentum for the whole team. Looking more broadly, Myanmar's performance in the last 5 matches has been quite impressive with 3 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss.
Notably, they defeated the Thai women's team 2-1 at the Asian Championship in August, demonstrating their increasingly strong competitiveness. Myanmar's biggest strength lies in their ability to score goals in a variety of ways, taking advantage of set pieces as well as speedy combinations on the flanks.
In stark contrast, the Malaysian women's team entered the second match under immense pressure. After a 0-7 defeat to the Vietnamese women's team, Malaysia fell to the bottom of the table and faced the risk of early elimination if they continued to lose points. The defense was the biggest concern as they were easily penetrated by the opponent, lacking both speed and cover.
The Malaysian women's team lost 0-7 to the Vietnamese women's team.
This is not a temporary problem. In the last 5 matches, Malaysia has lost 4 matches, showing that they have not found stability in their playing style and personnel. Malaysia's attacking ability is also limited when rarely creating really clear opportunities in front of the opponent's goal.
The history of confrontation does not bring much hope for Malaysia. In the most recent encounter in May 2023, the Myanmar women's team won 5-1, affirming their superiority in technique, speed and experience. The difference between the two teams at the present time is even greater, especially when Myanmar is in form while Malaysia is still struggling in crisis.
With the above facts, Myanmar is rated much higher and will likely continue to win with a big margin to consolidate its position in the group. Malaysia needs a resilient match to limit the number of goals conceded, while also looking for an opportunity to improve its image after a forgettable performance in the opening match.
Expected lineup:
Malaysian women's team: Ezza Ashikin, Juliana, Eusvewana, Nurfaizah, Haindee, Su Yin, Syafiqah, Amirah, Nurhadfina, Ainsyah, Lyana.
Myanmar women's team: Myo Mya Mya Nyein, May Thet Mon Myint. Phyu Phwe, Zune Yu Ya Oo, Phyu Phyu Win, Naw Htet Htet Wai, San Thaw Thaw, Khin Mo Mo Tun, Yuper Khin, Lin Lae Oo, Win Theingi Tun.
Prediction: Malaysia Women's Team 0-3 Myanmar Women's Team.
