Bahrain and Malaysia will meet again in the AFC Asian Cup 2nd round at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium Stadium, Doha Saturday, January 20, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
Bahrain, a team that is considered superior to Malaysia in many aspects, hopes to win this match and proceed to the knockout stages of the 2023 Asian Cup. They have shown strong performances in their previous matches, although they lost 1-3 to East Asian team, South Korea . However, they played well and created several chances, showing that they are a team to be reckoned with.
On the other hand, Malaysia has experienced some difficulties. They lost 0-4 to Jordan, a team considered to be on the same level as Vietnam. Although they had more ball possession than their opponents, they were only able to muster three shots on target compared to their opponents’ eight. This shows that Malaysia need to step up their game if they want to compete at continental level.
From the historical record of head-to-head meetings, Malaysia has never won in the last 8 meetings. Bahrain won 5 times, and drew 3 times, with 15 goals scored against Malaysia. Meanwhile, Malaysia only managed to shake the opponent’s goal with 5 goals.
For information, Bahrain and Malaysia have not received any points because of the defeat they experienced in the first match. They are in group E along with South Korea and Jordan who have both collected three points.
However, even though Bahrain is considered the favorite in this match, Malaysia is not just any team in Asia. The ‘Harimau Malaya’ team may not have won in their six previous meetings with Bahrain, but they came with minimal preparation to advance from the group stage.
