Thailand host Cambodia at the Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok on Friday for their clash in the 2024 ASEAN Championship, with their progression already confirmed. The War Elephants continued their winning run following a stunning 4-2 drubbing of Singapore earlier this week.
Interestingly, they were trailing by two goals in the fixture after only 34 minutes, but Masatada Ishii's side fought back with four goals to turn the match on its head.
With nine points from a possible nine, Thailand are sitting pretty at the top of the Group A table with a place in the knockout stages already confirmed. The last fixture of the round is a mere formality for them, but the side will be aiming to finish by keeping their 100% win record intact.
On the other hand, Cambodia are down in third place with just a single victory in the bag from three games, although it came in their most recent encounter. The Angkor Warriors fought back from a goal down to see off East Timor 2-1, which kept them in the race for the knockout stages.
However, it is imperative for them to win here, while also hoping that Singapore fail to win their game against Malaysia, to stand a chance of clinching second position in the group.
