Brunei would have certainly hoped for better results heading into this fixture. They have lost four and won just two of their last six fixtures. The nation will hope that this kind of form doesn’t halt their progress in the championship. This is just their second appearance in the competition, the first one being in 1966. Brunei will look to qualify out of group A against all the odds.
Thailand have been way too inconsistent in their recent games. In their last six matches, they have earned three wins along with three defeats. The nation will be heading into the tournament as the reigning champions and also the record holders. Thailand, are certainly amongst the favourites to lift the 2022 AFF Championship crown.
Given that is the opening game, there is a very high chance that the coaches will opt to go in with their respective strongest XIs. This will help in securing the all important three points and starting off on a positive note.
