Malaysia vs Singapore Prediction and Betting Tips | 20th December 2024

Malaysia host Singapore at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on Friday for their clash in the 2024 ASEAN Championship. It's a make-or-break affair for both teams as it's the final game of the group stages.

With six points in three games, the Lions are currently in second place in the Group A standings and heading into the knockout stages as things stand. They only need a draw against Malaysia to secure their place in the next round.

Having started off with a 2-1 win over Cambodia, followed by a convincing 3-0 vanquish of East Timor, Singapore fell to a thumping 4-2 loss to Thailand. They had raced 2-0 in front after 34 minutes, but the War Elephants fought back to strike four times.

Another loss on Friday would mean Tsutomu Ogura's side can crash out of the championship despite all the promise shown earlier. Their hosts, who are only two points adrift of them, will be aiming for that outcome.

The Malay Tigers cannot mathematically win the group as Thailand have already sealed their place in the knockout stages. But the runners-up position is still available.

They held Cambodia to a 2-2 draw in their opening game before seeing off East Timor in a fascinating 3-2 victory but fell to a narrow 1-0 loss to Thailand on matchday three.
