Cambodia will host Brunei at the Morodok Techo National Stadium in Phnom Penh on Thursday (December 29) at the AFF Championship, looking to recover from a loss in their last game.
Having started their campaign with a 3-2 defeat of Philippines, the Angkor Warriors lost 2-1 to Indonesia on matchday two on Friday. Sareth Krya canceled out Egy Vikri's early opener for the Garuda's Team in the 16th minute. Witan Sulaeman then restored their lead in the 35th minute, from which there was no coming back for Cambodia.
The defeat has relegated the side to fourth place in Group A with three points after two games and a goal difference of zero.
Brunei, meanwhile, have had a much worse campaign, losing 5-0 to Thailand in their opening game before suffering a 5-1 humiliation against Philippines. Without a point on board and a goal difference of -9, the Hornets are rock bottom in Group A and look consigned to make an early exit from the tournament once again.

Cambodia vs Brunei Prediction
Cambodia are looking to recover from their last defeat and will be confident of their chances considering how Brunei have fared.
To be fair, the Hornets don't have much experience in the competition, and being ranked 190th in the world, they're one of the weakest teams in the world. The Angkor Warriors should nick this one comfortably.
