Malaysia will welcome Vietnam to the Bukit Jalil Stadium in the third round of the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers on Tuesday. Both teams got their campaign underway with a win in March.
The hosts met Cape Verde in two friendlies, and after a 1-1 draw last month, they lost 3-0 last week. They met Nepal in their qualification campaign opener in March and registered a 2-0 home win. Hector Hevel scored in the first half, and La'Vere Corbin-Ong doubled the lead after the break.
The visitors are back in action for the first time since March. They met Laos in their Asian Cup qualifiers and registered a comfortable 5-0 win. Nguyễn Văn Vĩ bagged a brace while Châu Ngọc Quang, Nguyen Quang Hai, and Nguyễn Hai Long were also on the scoresheet.

Malaysia vs Vietnam Prediction
Harimau Malaya suffered their first loss of the year last week as they lost 3-0 to Cape Verde at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium. They failed to score for the first time in three games and will look to return to goalscoring ways. Notably, they have failed to score in six of their last eight games in this fixture.
The Golden Star Warriors head into the match in great form and are unbeaten in their last 11 games in all competitions. They have won their four games in 2025, scoring 12 goals, and will look to build on that form.
The visitors have been the dominant side in this fixture, and considering their goalscoring form, we back the Golden Star Warriors to register a comfortable win.
