1.52Tip and bets
Both teams have been playing exceptionally high-scoring matches lately. We believe that the attacking spirit will continue for the ASEAN Championship match, as the opponents need points, especially the hosts, who lost the first two matches. Most likely, we will see a spectacular game in which there will be quite a few goals scored.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the outcome
The hosts played terribly in the first two rounds, so it's time to improve. On their home field, the team has a chance to beat the mid-table team of the Malaysian championship, but Kuala Lumpur did not win very confidently in the first rounds and may well falter under the pressure of Lion City, who have nothing to lose.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Lion City for 1.68
Bet on corners
We believe that the opponents will play attacking football, so there should be quite a few corners in this match. We suggest betting on the total over on this indicator as well.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners for 1.63
