Singapore were exciting in their opening day 3-0 win over Myanmar, and head coach Tatsuma Yoshida will be hoping his side replicate their first half performance - where they scored three goals in 10 minutes - against the Philippines. 

It will be a meeting of familiar foes as the two sides met in the previous edition with the Philippines emerging 1-0 victors but with home support on Singapore’s side this time around, the Lions will be confident of their chances.  

Philippines, however, will be up for the challenge as captain Stephen Schrock and his teammates look to impress at the Singapore National Stadium. 

Myanmar and Timor-Leste, meanwhile, will aim to get their campaign back on track after losing to Singapore and Thailand respectively. 

Myanmar put up a strong fight against the hosts, even having the lion’s share of possession, but failed to find a breakthrough and head coach Antoine Hey would have worked on this.

Timor-Leste, understandably, took a defensive approach against Thailand but head coach Fabio Magrao may well opt for a more attacking style on Wednesday to revive their campaign.

Myanmar v Timor-Leste - 17:30 hours (UTC+8)
Philippines v Singapore - 20:30 hours (UTC+8)

Malaysia lead Group B on goal difference and will be confident of adding another three points to their tally when they face Laos, having beat their ASEAN rivals 3-1 in the 2018 edition. 

Their opening day win was a morale booster but head coach Tan Cheng Hoe will remind his side to stay fully focused, especially after conceding in the 90th minute against Cambodia in their opener. 

Laos fell 2-0 to defending champions Vietnam but their campaign is far from over. However, they must secure a win to remain in contention.  

Indonesia will have benefitted from watching their Group B rivals in action on Matchday One and the five-time runners-ups will look to hit the ground running against Cambodia on Thursday. 

The head to head record against Cambodia is in Indonesia’s favour and they come into the tournament having beaten Myanmar 4-1 in a friendly last month.

Cambodia will aim to build on their second half performance against Malaysia in their bid to bounce back.

Thursday
Malaysia v Laos - 17:30 hours (UTC+8)
Indonesia v Cambodia - 20:30 hours (UTC+8)
