China vs Malaysia Predictions and Top Betting Tips

China vs Malaysia should be a competitive game and we have high expectations despite it being a friendly. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

These two national teams have not met each other in a decade and back in the day, China definitely had the better team every time. Right now, however, Malaysia are a different team and the country generally invests a lot more in the sport, and it has had an effect. They are not weak and they rarely lose even against much bigger national teams. We don't expect the same dominance from China here.

Match Result & BTTS Prediction: China and No

Malaysia have definitely been in shape over the last year or two but the majority of their opponents have been significantly weaker national teams. China are an unbelievable defensive side and we think that there is a good chance that they will keep a clean sheet in this game. They conceded a single goal in the last five games. They are not in their best overall shape and this is a good opportunity for a good result.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to China

China rarely concede goals when they are the home side, whether it is in China or somewhere else. They are mostly strong defensively and cannot boast with an incredible attack. We think that the 2-0 scoreline is a good option for this game. When we compare the China vs Malaysia line ups, we think that the respective home side here has a huge advantage in strength.

China vs Malaysia Preview

China Preview

China have always been one of the three strongest national teams in Asia but lately, their form has not been as successful. They look good right now but they failed to qualify for the World Cup, for example. Nevertheless, they have never lost to Malaysia in six games between them and we do not think it will happen here either.

Malaysia Preview

Malaysia are having a “Golden Era” right now, if you ask us. We don't remember the last time they were this strong and consistent in their performances. They have seven wins in their last ten games in all competitions (including friendlies) and they beat some solid teams on the way here. Of course, China are the strongest team they will face to date and we do not expect them to have a chance.
