Malaysia head into their second ASEAN Championship match full of confidence after their comeback win against Myanmar. Laos, on the other hand, are reeling after a heavy 5-0 defeat to Thailand and will need to regroup, especially with squad changes forced by suspension. History and form strongly favor Malaysia, who have won all previous encounters, each by at least two goals. The recommendation is for another solid Malaysian victory, likely with a wide margin and multiple goals scored.

Malaysia vs Laos Verdict

Malaysia came from behind to beat Myanmar in their ASEAN Championship opener and should have things a bit easier against Laos on Tuesday.

Laos have lost seven of their last nine matches including a 5-0 thumping by Thailand in their opening game of the tournament. Expect another wide-margin defeat in this one.

  • Malaysia won 5 of their last 6 matches
  • Malaysia have seen over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches
  • Malaysia have won all 9 previous matches against Laos by 2+ goals
  • Laos have lost 7 of their last 9 matches
  • Laos have seen over 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 9 matches

Head to Head

Malaysia and Laos have met nine times with the same outcome - a clear cut win for Malaysia. All nine games have seen three or more goals with Malaysia winning by at least a two-goal margin.

Malaysia Form - Winning Start Made

Malaysia made a winning start to the ASEAN Championship when coming from a goal down to defeat Myanmar last week.

A Paulo Josue double after the break earned Malaysia a 2-1 victory after Myat Kaung Khant had opened the scoring in the 10th minute.

Tan Cheng Hoe's side had arrived into the tournament without a warm-up game. 

They last played in March when a 3-1 defeat to Vietnam in an AFC Asian Cup qualifier ended Malaysia's hopes of qualifying for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.

Laos Form - Heavy Loss To Start

Laos were comfortably beaten 5-0 by Thailand in their tournament opener, playing with 10 men for the entire second-half.

Phetdavanh Somsanith was dismissed just before half-time with Laos trailing 2-0 at the time, and they conceded three more in the opening 14 minutes of the second half.

It is now seven defeats in nine games for Laos, although they did win their final Asian Cup qualifier in March.

In what was Vladica Grujic's first match in charge, Laos recorded a narrow 1-0 victory over Nepal for a rare win.

Caretaker coach Tan Cheng Hoe named an inexperienced squad for the upcoming ASEAN Championship. Eight uncapped players have been included in the selection. 

Paulo Josue will lead the line in attack after getting a double in the win over Myanmar.

Laos Squad

Defenders: Phoutthavong Sangvilay, Phetdavanh Somsanith, Kaharn Phetsivilay, Phonsack Sisavath, Bounphaeng Xaysombath, Vongsakda Chanthaleuxay, Viengxay Sidavong, Sonevilay Phetviengsy, Okham Latsachack

Laos may consider changes after the heavy 5-0 defeat to Thailand in their opening game. 

They will need to make at least one in defence after Phetdavanh Somsanith was sent off two minutes before the break.

Verdict

Malaysia can chalk up another win in a game that sees plenty of goals once again. They have won by two or more goals in all previous matches against Laos and that is backed again.
