The Philippines recovered from their opening day loss to Singapore with an emphatic 7-0 win over Timor-Leste on Matchday Three, as Scott Cooper’s side displayed the depth in their squad with seven different scorers. 

However, Thailand will be a tougher challenge but the Azkals - having held the five-time champions 1-1 in their 2018 meeting - will be up for the task. 

Thailand will be oozing confidence though as Mano Pölking’s side have impressed with every passing match and with a place in the semi-finals beckoning, the War Elephants are sure to be at their best. 

A win for Thailand could mean Singapore booking their last four spot as well, as long as the hosts don’t slip up against Timor-Leste. 

Singapore will expect to get the job done against an already-eliminated Timor-Leste playing only for pride.

Philippines v Thailand - 17:30 hours (UTC+8)

Cambodia and Laos will kick off the Group B action on Wednesday, with Cambodia starting as favourites.

Neither side, however, will progress from a group which has Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia all tied on six points. 

That means all eyes will be on the Indonesia-Vietnam tie as the winners will surely confirm their last four berth.

The advantage lies with defending champions Vietnam, who were impressive in their 3-0 win over Malaysia on Sunday, and Park Hang-seo’s men will look to get the job done against Indonesia.

Defeat for Indonesia would mean heading into a winner-takes-all clash against Malaysia - who are not in action on Matchday Four - on Sunday. 

Indonesia would want to avoid that, given Malaysia’s superiority in their recent meetings, and Vietnam will face their toughest challenge yet. 

Wednesday
Cambodia v Laos - 17:30 hours (UTC+8)
Indonesia v Vietnam - 20:30 hours (UTC+8)
