Malaysia finished at the third position in Group D of the second round of World Cup qualifiers courtesy of collecting 10 points from six outings. Only the top two teams progressed to the next round. After a run of seven consecutive competitive games without a victory, Harimau Malaya secured all three points against Chinese Taipei in June thanks to second-half efforts from Safawi Rasid, Paulo Josue and Adib Ra'op.
Philippines, on the other hand, are heading into the match on the back a seven-game winless runs, including six defeats, across all competitions. The Azkals recorded five defeats and a draw from their six Group F games in the second round of World Cup qualifiers. Philippines football is going through a lean patch having slumped to 147th in the FIFA World Rankings, their lowest standing since 2012.
