Malaysia vs Singapore Prediction and Betting Tips | 3rd January 2023
Malaysia host Singapore at the Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday in the AFF Championship, knowing that only a win will see them into the next round.
With six points in three games, the Tigers of Malaya are currently third in Group B. Their 3-0 loss to Vietnam last Tuesday threw a spanner in the works for them.
Kim Pan-Gon's side beat Myanmar (1-0) and Laos (5-0) in their first two games to emerge as favorites to advance into the semi-finals.
However, last week's shock loss has left them needing a win in their fourth and final group match as Malaysia face a do-or-die clash.
Singapore, meanwhile, are in second with seven points and a draw would be enough to seal their place in the last four.
The Kallang Lions also started their campaign with back-to-back wins over Myanmar (3-2) and Laos (2-0) before Vietnam halted their run with a 0-0 draw.

Malaysia vs Singapore Prediction
Malaysia will be relying on home support in what will be a win-or-bust encounter for them in the Championship, and they have a better head-to-head record against Singapore too.
However, the Kallang Lions only need a draw here, so they could set out to sit deep and frustrate the Tigers of Malaya.
We predict a game of few chances ending in a draw, which will also end Malaysia's chances of progressing.
