THE PREDICTION
Bahrain’s preparation for their three World Cup qualifiers in June began with a 1-1 draw against a very experimental Ukraine team in Ukraine. They had the lead until stoppage time in the second-half but a draw against a respectable European nation will be viewed as a good result. They come up against a Malaysia side now that have a chance of winning their qualifying group and reaching the third round of AFC qualification. In fact, both sides are in promising positions in their respective groups. This is likely to be a rotated or experimental match for both sides but it still likely to be a low-scoring friendly given Bahrain’s five qualifying matches have consisted of four goals in the 2022 cycle.
