I support my country, Singapore!
A Causeway Derby awaits Singapore and Malaysia as both teams were placed in Group B of the Asean Football Federation Championships. In all likelihood, the match could also decide who progresses to the semi-finals with clear favourite Vietnam. The other two sides in group B are Myanmar and Laos.
With four titles won in 1998, 2004, 2007 and 2012, Singapore are the second-most successful side in AFF Championship history, two behind Thailand. However, after their last triumph, the Lions were knocked out in the group stage in 2014, 2016 and 2018.
Defending champions Thailand, runners-up Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia and Brunei were drawn in Group A.
Besides the change in title sponsor from Suzuki to Mitsubishi Electric, the tournament will revert to the home and away format for the group stage, which was introduced in 2018. This means every team will play two group games at home.
