The Malaysia national team match against the Kyrgyz Republic in 1e ronde of the AFC 2026 World Cup Qualification on Thursday, November 16, 2023 will be held at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium Stadium, Kuala Lumpur.
This match is part of the third round of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in the Asian zone, where Malaysia and Kyrgyz Republic are in group A along with Oman and Chinese Taipei.
Both teams have the opportunity to qualify for the next round, but must compete with Oman who leads the standings from four matches. Malaysia is in second place, while the Kyrgyz Republic is in third position.
The recent performance of the two teams is quite different. Malaysia managed to achieve two draws against China PR and Syria, as well as a landslide win over India with a score of 4-2 in a friendly match. Kyrgyz Republic, on the other hand, suffered two defeats to Bahrain and the Philippines, and was only able to beat Kuwait with a score of 3-1.
The history of meetings between the two teams also shows Malaysia’s superiority. Of the three previous meetings, Malaysia won twice and lost once to the Kyrgyz Republic. Malaysia’s last win came in 2018, when they narrowly won 1-0 thanks to Mohamadou Sumareh’s single goal.
With all factors considered, it seems Kyrgyz Republic are strong favorites for this match at Bukit Jalil National Stadium, Kuala Lumpur. Even though the last five matches have been very inconsistent. However, Malaysia will definitely try hard because group D points are very important for the continuation of their record in the 2026 World Cup qualification in the Asian zone.
