Malaysia vs Singapore Prediction and Betting Tips | 3rd January 2023

Singapore have beaten Malaysia in their last two clashes
Singapore have beaten Malaysia in their last two clashes

Malaysia host Singapore at the Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday in the AFF Championship, knowing that only a win will see them into the next round.

With six points in three games, the Tigers of Malaya are currently third in Group B. Their 3-0 loss to Vietnam last Tuesday threw a spanner in the works for them.

Kim Pan-Gon's side beat Myanmar (1-0) and Laos (5-0) in their first two games to emerge as favorites to advance into the semi-finals.

However, last week's shock loss has left them needing a win in their fourth and final group match as Malaysia face a do-or-die clash.

Singapore, meanwhile, are in second with seven points and a draw would be enough to seal their place in the last four.

The Kallang Lions also started their campaign with back-to-back wins over Myanmar (3-2) and Laos (2-0) before Vietnam halted their run with a 0-0 draw.

Malaysia vs Singapore Prediction

Malaysia will be relying on home support in what will be a win-or-bust encounter for them in the Championship, and they have a better head-to-head record against Singapore too.

However, the Kallang Lions only need a draw here, so they could set out to sit deep and frustrate the Tigers of Malaya.

We predict a game of few chances ending in a draw, which will also end Malaysia's chances of progressing.

Prediction: Malaysia 1-1 Singapore
