* AFF Cup: Vietnam upbeat ahead of key match with Malaysia
According to FOX Sports Asia, Myanmar fans are flocking to ticket counters to buy a place in the stand to watch their players playing Vietnam at home in the next Group A match on Tuesday. The demand for tickets for this match is rising dramatically, even though Myanmar are preparing for their second match against Laos away this evening.
On Monday, the Myanmar national squad began their 2018 AFF Cup campaign perfectly with a humiliating 4-1 victory over Cambodia in Mandalar Thiri Stadium in Mandalay, with the support of over 27,000 home fans. If they beat Laos away tonight, the opportunity to win the group stage is highly possible for coach Antoine Hey’s side. Therefore, their third match against Vietnam next week will play a key role in the hosts’ journey forwards.
