Malaysia collect points in each of four
Malaysia have not lost in four matches, a dependable run even without a win every time.
It is now 4 clean sheets in succession for Malaysia, whose defensive organisation has been exemplary. Potent and purposeful, the visitors have registered 10 goals across their past five matches. Enough was done by the visitors to beat Vietnam 1-0, if only just.
The margin told its own story when Yemen beat Bahrain 5-2. Keeping goals out has been a struggle for the hosts, who have conceded 11 in five matches. Scoring has rarely been a problem for the hosts of late, their last five matches yielding 11 goals.
Recent history favours Malaysia, who have won 3 of the last 3 encounters.
