Myanmar take on the visitors Malaysia in AFF Championship match. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 21st at Thuwunna Stadium (Yangon).
Myanmar are perhaps the main outsider of the group, and if only Laos can still be somehow attributed to Myanmar, since the rest of the group is much more top-end, including Malaysia. This year, Myanmar has played 7 matches of various significance, and the results are simply horrendous, 6 defeats and 1 draw, with an aggregate goal difference this year 2:22. And this despite the fact that they did not face any top teams of the continent. For example, they lost to modest teams like Thailand – 0:6 and Singapore – 2:6. Actually, in the upcoming battle, with relatively strong Malaysia, there is frankly nothing to expect from Myanmar, except a defeat, and rather a notable one. In 2018, the teams clashed in this tournament with each other, and then Malaysia was stronger than 3:0. Now it is worth waiting for about the same development of events.

Malaysia are not even considered an average Asian football team, but in this tournament, where not the titans of Asian football are gathered, but simply those who fit the parameters of Southeast Asia, Malaysia looks like a rather impressive force. Malaysia has already played 12 matches this year, and collected 9 victories in these matches, which is quite solid record. Yes, of course, the opponents in these matches were far from the strongest ones, but certainly not weaker than Myanmar. In fact, there is every reason to assume that this duel for nominal visitors will end with a confident victory and they will start the tournament favorably for themselves.
The odds for a clear victory of Malaysia are too modest, and here you can look at the minus handicap of the Malaysian national team. It is quite a difficult task to expect goals scored from Myanmar, but Malaysia is actually able to organize a victory in a couple of goals here. Our pick for this match: Handicap (-1.5) on Malaysia.
Prediction for the match: Malaysia to win with -1.0 handicap.
