Malaysia will begin their fight in this group in this game, having failed to find their rhythm in recent games.

Malaysia vs Qatar Prediction
Although Qatar lead the head-to-head record against Malaysia, I doubt if they can win this game owing to their poor run in the first game of this qualification round. They missed out on the chance to go top of the group, and that alone is enough to dampen their morale going into this game. On the other hand, Malaysia have secured the much-needed rest heading into this game, and I don’t see anything stopping them from securing the win.
