Malaysia vs Laos Prediction and Betting Tips | December 24, 2022

Malaysia will host Laos at the Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday (December 24) in the AFF Championship, looking to build on their opening day win.

The Tigers of Malaya beat Myanmar 1-0 in their opener on Wednesday (December 21). Muhammad Faisal scored a 52nd-minute winner to seal all three points for his team.

Another win at the weekend would strengthen their chances of reaching the knockouts. Malaysia's recent form holds them in good stead, having now won their last three games.

Laos, meanwhile, were thumped 6-0 by Vietnam. Nguyen Tien Linh, Do Hung Dung, Ho Tan Tai, Doan Van Hau, Nguyen Van Toan and Vu Van Thanh scored for the Golden Star Warriors.

The defeat has left them at the bottom of Group B in the Championship without a point and with a goal-difference of -6. Malaysia, meanwhile, are up in second and well within contention to qualify for the knockouts.
