Malaysia and Jordan will both be hoping to begin their Asian Cup campaigns with a victory when they meet each other at Al Janoub Stadium on Monday.
This will be Malaysia's first match at Asia's major continental tournament since 2007, whereas Jordan have reached four of the last five Asian Cup's.
Malaysia have the slight advantage of facing the lower-ranked nations before taking on South Korea in their final group game. Two victories would guarantee their place in the last 16, but even three or four points would give them an exceptional chance of progressing from the group stage for the first time in their history.
Indeed, this is the first time the Malayan Tiger's have qualified for the Asian Cup since 1980, as they automatically reached 2007 as co-hosts. Former Hong Kong boss Kim Pan-gon has cemented himself as a hugely popular figure in Malaysia as a result, although the 54-year-old may have an awkward time of things when he takes on his home country on the final matchday.
Malaysia's results have been decent for a considerable period of time now, with only Tajikistan beating them since a 3-0 defeat to Thailand more than a year ago. As such, they will possess genuine belief of springing a slight surprise against Jordan on Monday.
