Team Reviews
Malaysia are entering this international friendly at Bukit Jalil National Stadium with confidence, riding a strong 2025 campaign. Sitting 125th in the FIFA rankings, they’ve won three of their last five matches, including a 4-0 thrashing of Vietnam in a 2027 Asian Cup qualifier, with Joao Figueiredo, Rodrigo Holgado, Lawrence Corbib-Org, and Dion Cools scoring. Their attack averages 2.0 goals per game, while their defense has conceded 1.0 goal per match, per recent form. At home, Malaysia are formidable, unbeaten in their last four matches, with goalkeeper Ahmad Syihan Hazmi keeping two clean sheets. Coach Peter Cklamovski’s 4-3-3 relies on Stuart Wilkin’s midfield control and Endrick dos Santos’s pace. No major injuries are reported, so Malaysia will look to dominate possession and exploit Singapore’s defense with their attacking depth and passionate home crowd.
Singapore, ranked 159th, are coming off a decent run, winning two of their last five matches, including a 2-1 away victory over Bangladesh in the Asian Cup qualifiers, with goals from Song Ui-Young and Ahmad bin Fandi. Their attack averages 1.2 goals per game, but their defense has been shaky, conceding 1.4 goals per match. Away form is a concern, with no wins in their last three road games, including a 0-0 draw at Malaysia in the 2024 ASEAN Championship. Interim coach Gavin Lee’s 4-4-2 depends on Ikhsan Fandi’s finishing and Hariss Harun’s leadership. No major injuries are noted, but Singapore will need to stay compact and rely on counters to challenge Malaysia’s home dominance.
Head to Head
Malaysia and Singapore have a fierce rivalry, with 18 competitive meetings since 2008. Malaysia hold a slight edge, winning eight to Singapore’s seven, with three draws. Their most recent clash was a 0-0 draw in the 2024 ASEAN Championship at Bukit Jalil, where Malaysia dominated possession but couldn’t break through. Malaysia have won three of the last five encounters, including a 2-1 victory in a 2022 friendly, while Singapore’s last win was a 2-1 result in the 2022 Tri-Nations Series. At Bukit Jalil, Malaysia are unbeaten in their last three against Singapore (two wins, one draw). Matches average 2.4 goals, with both teams scoring in 50% of recent games, suggesting a tight but open contest.
Prediction
Malaysia’s strong home form, recent attacking output, and higher FIFA ranking make them favorites against a Singapore side struggling on the road. I predict a 2-1 win for Malaysia, with Figueiredo or dos Santos likely scoring, though Singapore could nick a goal via Ikhsan Fandi on the counter. Malaysia’s win probability is around 66%, reflecting their home advantage and superior form. Expect Malaysia to control possession (around 55%) and corners (8-10 projected), with Singapore’s counters keeping it competitive. The game should see Malaysia’s wingers exploit Singapore’s flanks, building on their 4-0 Vietnam rout, for a narrow victory.
