Malaysia take on the visitors Papua New Guinea in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 20th.
I don't particularly like the Malaysian national team. The federation has only recently cleaned up its act, with all sanctions against the team being lifted not long ago. And now they've even given passports to foreign players from the local league. But they seem to be performing quite well at the level of Asian mid-level teams. The team reached the semi-finals of the Southeast Asian Championship and played excellently. They systematically dismantled Hong Kong in a friendly match, and the recent match against the Solomon Islands was impressive. They excelled in their fast-paced game, scoring four goals of various styles. All the forwards for the "Tigers" were getting on the score sheet.

These island boys who came to Southeast Asia for friendly matches, leave quite nice impression. What do we know about the Papua New Guinea national team!? They don't play many matches at all. The team doesn't invest much in itself, with almost all players coming from the local league, and only a few play in the lower divisions of Australia. They rarely participate in friendly matches, but when they do, they do it brilliantly. Papua New Guinea played exceptionally well against Singapore. It was a fast-paced match with two goals scored and plenty of missed opportunities. The influence of the Brazilian coach is clearly evident, and the team didn't pay much attention to defending their own goal in the friendly match against Singapore. Impressive football!
The relationship between these national teams is very pleasant. A couple of years ago, there were friendly matches with an open character. As for the Malaysians, they are truly an interesting team. The combination of fast young players showcasing speedy football and experienced veterans is a delight to watch. This is reflected in their results and their consistent attacking actions in home matches. The Papua New Guineans fear no one. The team didn't come to Asia to sit back and defend. They have already demonstrated that on the field. Fast football, the Brazilian touch of the coach, and intelligent use of speed. This clash will be an exciting match, leading to a high-scoring affair.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
