In today's AFF Suzuki Cup Group A matches, Indonesia will be facing Singapore as both sides fight for the top position while Myanmar take on Cambodia
Both Indonesia and Singapore are assured of a place in the semi-finals but neither of them would want to lose the match and lose face. The main advantage the Merah Putih has is playing at home, and they would certainly want to take revenge as Singapore defeated them 3:1 during the 1st leg of the 2004 final. Ironically, the venue will be at the same place after more than 4 years which is the Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta
A quick check on the Singapore Pools website show that Indonesia are favourites to win at $2.30 on the 1X2 but do not rule out Singapore. In fact, I am expecting them to win this game by a goal. So I think Singapore will win on the 1x2 which is at $2.90, not bad
From my perspective, I reckon that Bambang Pamungkas is the most dangerous player in the Indonesian side. The striker is the country's top scorer with 34 goals and his presence will prove to be a stern test for the Lions' defenders. Actually, the genuine danger are the fans. The home crowd would be jeering at Singapore throughout the match and random items may be thrown at players on the field anytime
By the way, there is something strange with Channel 5. They broadcasted the live matches of Singapore playing Cambodia and Myanmar but for tonight they will only screen the delayed telecast at 10pm(the match kicks off at 7.30pm). Really do not understand why they are doing this
