Malaysia host Laos at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, looking to continue their winning run. The Malay Tigers have won all three of their qualifying games thus far to lead Group F with nine points from a possible nine.
After starting their campaign with a 2-0 win over Nepal, the Southeast Asian nation crushed Vietnam 4-0 followed by a 3-0 thrashing of Laos on Thursday.
Another win here would all but confirm their place in the Saudi Arabian showpiece, as Malaysia are on the brink of achieving their fifth Asian Cup qualification and a second in a row.
Meanwhile, Laos are in third place with three points. Following a 5-0 drubbing at the hands of Vietnam in their opening qualifier, the Thim Xad beat Nepal 2-1 to get their campaign back on track, but Malaysia beat the Southeast nation 3-0 this week.
