Azam wants Malaysia to avoid defeat in Jakarta

Malaysia midfielder Nor Azam Azih wants the Harimau Malaya to come away from their tough encounter against Indonesia with at least one point.

The two Southeast Asian rivals will open their Group G World Cup qualification campaign against one another in Jakarta this Thursday, but the home advantage is with the hosts.

When met by the press before training on Monday, Azam admitted that the inclusion of his Pahang teammate Saddil Ramdani on the Indonesia squad as a replacement will provide the Garudas with an even bigger advantage, but the visitors is intent on avoiding defeat.
