Myanmar still needs to improve its performance if it wants to compete with the teams playing in the 2022 AFF Cup. This is because, from the previous six matches, Myanmar has always lost, including in the third round of Asian Cup qualification in June 2022.
Before coming to the AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2022, the Asia Lion – the nickname of the Myanmar national team, had tried to play a test match against Thailand. As a result, Myanmar lost 6-0 to War Elephant.
So, a total of seven matches in all competitions including friendly matches, Antoine Hey’s troops were unable to find the net. Of course this record is very worrying in the face of Malaysia today.
On the other hand, Malaysia can still compete in the Asian Cup qualifiers. Of the 3 meetings last June, the Malayan Tigers – nicknamed the Malaysian national team won 2 matches, namely over Turkmenistan (1-3) and Bangladesh (4-1).
Malaysia came to the first match of the 2022 AFF Cup with 2 wins in friendlies. Trial against Cambodia who are in group A in the AFF Cup, Malaysia won 4-0 on December 9, and finally Kim Pan-gon’s troops won 3-0 over the Maldives on December 14.
Myanmar and Malaysia are in group B of the 2022 AFF Cup. The two teams will compete with Laos, Singapore and Vietnam. To qualify for the semi-finals, both teams must win the position of group winners or runners-up.
In statistical records, Myanmar and Malaysia have often met in all competitions. Malaysia is very dominant because they have never lost to Myanmar. Finally, during a duel in the 2018 AFF Cup, Malaysia won 3-0 over Myanmar through goals scored by Norshahrul Idlan Talaha, Zaquan Adha Abdul Razak and Zaquan Adha Abdul Razak.
