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 onFPT 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.
Thailand team will face Malaysia team at 8pm today, December 14.
It is no exaggeration to say that 1 point is also a dream for Malaysia in their away match against Thailand. On the other side, the Thai team proved their strength when they beat Timor Leste 10-0. Along with Vietnam, Thailand is the team with the most complete preparation for the AFF Cup 2024. Although some veteran players are absent, coach Ishii Masatada still has stars like Suphanat, Supachok, Mickelson or Gustavsson.
Defeating Malaysia is a must for the Thai team, especially when they play at home. If they play 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 AFF Cup 2024. They almost lost to Timor Leste at home when they were ahead in the first half.
The Cambodian national team, which has 8 naturalized players, was expected to bring joy to the 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 the upcoming matches.
Malaysia is currently leading the group with 4 points but not many people believe they can go far. Thailand is second in the group with 3 points but has played one game less. Singapore has 3 points and has also played 1 game. Timor Leste is bottom of the group and has not won any points. Meanwhile, Cambodia needs to win both of their last 2 matches to be able to advance as this team has only 1 point.
