Both the current postponed game and the rematch that will take place in a few days will be held in neutral territory (Thailand) due to ... diplomatic relations! If one of the two teams succeeds in making two victories, it puts a serious nomination for qualifying through the second position of the group (the first is Lebanon).
North Korea has two draws (2-2 with Lebanon in and 1-1 with Hong Kong off) and a crash 5-0 from Lebanon outside. Disciplined and tricky team, but with a reduced football perception, especially in defense that reminds national Greece against Croatia! Easy mistakes, slow reactions to the movement of the ball and this is reflected in the results where to find a clean outbreak we have to go back to something friendly with Guam and Taiwan!
Malaysia goes into these two games with many changes, most of which are forced, but I do not know if this is completely negative. Yes, there are key executives missing, but there will certainly be greater willingness to be distinguished from the new players and in the end it does not even have a superpower to underestimate it so much!
