Malaysia and Bangladesh will lock horns at the Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday in the 2023 Asia Cup qualifiers.
The Malayan Tigers are second in Group E with three points. A win in their final home game will be enough to keep their qualification hopes alive.
They started their campaign with a 3-1 defeat of Turkmenistan but lost 2-1 to Bahrain on Saturday. That put the Middle Eastern team at the top of the table with a 100% record, with Kim Pan-gon's side just ahead of Turkmenistan on goal difference.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, will be eliminated from the race for next year's showpiece if they fail to win, as they sit rock bottom without a single point.
