Bangladesh will lock horns with Malaysia in their last Group E match of the AFC Asian Cup China 2023 qualifiers Tuesday.
The match will start at 7pm Bangladesh time at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil of the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur.
Following consecutive defeats in group matches against Bahrain (0-2) and against Turkmenistan (1-2), the men in red and green bowed out of the competition.
The No. 188-ranked Bangladesh and the No. 154-ranked Malaysia have played against each other nine times since 1975.
Malaysia beat Bangladesh six times. The men in red and green beat Malaysia once (2-1) in the Asian Games in 1982. But the last two matches between the teams – international friendlies – ended in a draw in 2012 and 2015.
On June 1, beset by injuries, Bangladesh played out a goalless draw against higher-ranked Indonesia in a FIFA international friendly in Bandung of West Java, Indonesia.
