Team Analysis
Malaysia comes into this friendly match on the back of a third-place finish in their World Cup qualifying group, showcasing a strong offensive performance. With the recent change in management, Pau Marti Vicente will lead Malaysia for the first time. The team is captained by Dion Kols, who plays for Thai Buriram United. Malaysia has been solid at home, especially in friendly games, and will look to continue their dominance against the Philippines.

The Philippines have struggled recently, leading to a change in coaching staff. Norman Feguidero steps in as the interim head coach after Tom Saintfit's resignation. The team has found it difficult to score, managing only three goals in their last seven games. Defender Jefferson Tabinas, who plays for Thai Buriram United, stands out as the team's most valuable player. The Philippines will hope to improve their fortunes under new leadership.

Head-to-Head
Historically, Malaysia has been dominant against the Philippines, winning 12 out of 19 encounters. In matches held in Kuala Lumpur, the Philippines have yet to secure a victory.

Prediction
Considering the historical dominance and Malaysia's strong home form, they are expected to control the game. The prediction suggests a 2-0 victory for Malaysia. The Philippines' scoring struggles indicate they may not find the net, and Malaysia is likely to win the corners battle, given their recent performances.

Pick: Malaysia Win
