Thailand will be aiming to end their four-game winless run in Group G of the Asian qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup when they take on Malaysia on Tuesday.
Malaysia have lost their last three games across all competitions and will look to end this poor run of results. The game will be played at the Zabeel Stadium.
Thailand’s hopes of securing a place in the next round of World Cup qualifiers suffered another blow as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against the United Arab Emirates last time out.
Young forward Suphanat Mueanta could only grab a consolation goal as Caio Canedo, Fabio Lima and Mohammed Jumaa were all on target for the UAE.
Akira Nishino's men have now failed to taste victory in their last five games across all competitions. Their last win came back in October 2019, when they claimed a 2-1 win over the United Arab Emirates.
With nine points from seven games, Thailand are currently third in Group B, level on points with Tuesday’s opponents.
Malaysia, meanwhile, failed to end their poor run of results last time out as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Vietnam.
Guilherme restored parity after Nguyen Tien Linh gave Vietnam a first-half lead, but Que Ngoc Hai converted an 82nd-minute spot-kick to hand Vietnam a deserved win.
Malaysia have now suffered defeat in each of their last three outings across all competitions, scoring one goal and conceding eight.
Thailand vs Malaysia Head-To-Head
This will be the 111th meeting between the two nations. Malaysia have been the slightly better side, picking up 37 wins, while Thailand have claimed 35 wins. Meanwhile, the spoils have been shared on 34 different occasions.
