Malaysia vs Singapore: Livestream, TV channel, preview, AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup table and results

After three matchdays of euphoria and heartbreak at the AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2022, the most anticipated fixture of the group stages has finally arrived.

Sitting second on the Group B table with seven points, Singapore step into the game with the upper hand as all the four-time ASEAN champions need is a draw to secure a place in the semi-finals.

On the other hand, Malaysia sit third on the table, breathing down the Lions’ neck with just a point separating the two sides. With everything to play for, this fixture is set to be a cracker.

What the coaches said

Kim Pan-gon

“I’m not talking about the level of football but about how they approach things and how we approach things. They are quite negative, they care about defending and look for counter-attacks.

“With Malaysia we want to be pro-active, to dominate games playing energetic football but Singapore has their own style and we need to respect that.

“The players, the staff, everybody is ready for this match and of course while Singapore have their advantages we too also have our advantages and with the backing and full support of the crowd we will fight and do our best to get the result we need.”

Takayuki Nishigaya

“Of course we have the advantage in knowing a point is enough and that Malaysia need to win but that won’t change the way we play.

“We have respect for the opposition but we want to attack as much as possible and whilst we expect Malaysia to be aggressive we also want to do the same.”
