LiontipsLaos vs Malaysia. Prediction and bets on the friendly match
Command Analysis
Current form
Laos is considered a rather weak team even by Asian standards and most often gets knocked out in the first round of World Cup qualifiers. This is what happened this time. In 2023, the team lost to Nepal (1:1, 0:1) and lost the chance to fight for a place in the World Cup. At the ASEAN Championship, the team also turned out to be one of the weakest, taking the last place in Group B. The team scored only one point in four matches, drawing with Myanmar (2:2). The Laos team has not played a match for more than a year, so the meeting with Malaysia will be the debut in 2024.

Laos have no problems with their squad ahead of the friendly match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only one game in its last ten matches.

In the last friendly match, the team lost heavily to New Zealand (0:4).

15.00Tip and bets
It is obvious that Malaysia is superior in class to today opponent, but after a long break, the Laos national team players will still try to perform well and at least avoid a rout. Considering that this is a friendly match, we believe that the Malaysians will not rout their opponent. We suggest betting on the underdog with a plus handicap, for which they offer a solid coefficient.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (+2.5) on Laos for 2.20
Bet on total
There is no point for the opponents to sit on the defensive in a friendly match, because the result does not affect anything anyway. We believe that the opponents will play for their own pleasure and give the fans a lot of goals in this match. We suggest betting on the total over.
Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on the first half
In the last four matches, Laos did not lose in the first half. It is clear that the opponents were of a completely different level, but we believe that in the match with Malaysia, the nominal hosts will not lose the first half of the match by a landslide.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Laos in the first half for 1.58
