Laos will host Singapore at the New Laos National Stadium in Vientiane on Tuesday (December 27) in the AFF Championship, looking to pick up their first win of the campaign.
Without a point or goal in two games, the Million Elephants are rock bottom in Group B. Michael Weiss's side lost 6-0 to Vietnam in their opening game followed by a 5-0 thrashing against Malaysia.
Ranked a lowly 187th in the world, Laos are among the weakest teams in the world, and that has been clearly evident at the tournament.
Singapore, meanwhile, started their campaign with a narrow 3-2 defeat of Myanmar on Friday in a topsy-turvy game. Maung Maung Lwin put the Chinthe in front in the 34th minute, but goals from Ilhan Fandi and Shah Shahiran either side of the break put the Kallang Lions 2-1 up.
Lwin, though, levelled proceedings in the 66th minute before Shawal Anuar scored the winner for Singapore eight minutes later to seal all three points.
