Fierce Rival in the Final

Malaysia vs Indonesia. what more would you ask for the most entertaining final of all time. two countries which has been rivals for over 50 years not only in football. Ok actually, bukan nak cerita pasal sejarah. just nak cerita Malaysia chances of winning this first leg. Since we are coming into this final as underdogs. This is the crucial point that may help us Malaysia to lift this trophy for the first time in history:

Defence

Yes, Defence. we know how attacking indonesia can be, with the pace of Okto, Irfan Bachtim, and the technically skillfull finishing of their uruguayan striker christian Gonzales, they can score 3 to 4 goals in bukit jalil so easily. But according to analysis, after that 5-1 lost against indonesia in the opening game, malaysian young defence has been consistently good having just let in one goal in 4 matches. keeping a clean sheet against a massive team like thailand and vietnam(twice) is not an easy task. This shows how solid we can be at the back.

and Fadhli Shas. The services of this two young lads is important.

Home

Playing at home in the fist leg is vital for us. Indonesia has been playing at home in all games in this tournament. Having played for the first time away from home will put some pressure on them. A pack Bukit Jalil Stadium will create a massive atmosphere for our team which gave them some confident boost just like what happen in the semi final against Vietnam.

support from our fans is vital.

Counter attacking football

Coming into this game as underdogs, attacking and playing pretty football surely not an option for us. Playing counter attacking football and looking for goals on the break has shown how small teams in the premier league beat the top four teams in the premier league. In this scenario it pretty much the same. Stay tight at the back, making hard for the opposing team, be patience, and attack them quickly on the break could be a great option when facing a tough team like indonesia. well, techtically, its all up to Rajagopal, but this tactic has been proven effective in many smaller teams in europe.

what tactic will rajagopal put on his team coming into this game.

My overall prediction its gonna be a very an aggressive close game which both team playing very careful. But in the end, there is only one winner.

my suka-suka prediction:

first leg: malaysia 1-0 indonesia

second leg: indonesia 1-0 malaysia (malaysia win in penalties)
