Thailand will be trying to secure their first ever win against Malaysia at Kuala Lumpur's Bukit Jalil National Stadium in a World Cup qualifier on Thursday.
The match in Group G of Asia's second qualifying round for the 2022 World Cup kicks off at 7.45pm (Thai time) and will be televised live by Thai Rath TV (32).
In Thursday's other Group G game, Vietnam host the United Arab Emirates.
After three games, Thailand lead Group G with seven points ahead of Vietnam on goal difference.
The UAE have six points and Malaysia three. Indonesia, who have played four matches, are still looking for their first point.
Thailand began their campaign with a lacklustre home draw against Vietnam but bounced back with wins over Indonesia in Jakarta and the UAE at Thammasat Stadium in Rangsit.
The eight group winners and four best runners-up advance to the continent's 12-team final qualifying stage for the 2022 finals.
Thailand have never beaten Malaysia at the 87,000-seat Bukit Jalil in three meetings with one loss and two draws.
War Elephants coach Akira Nishino told a press conference on Thursday he was not too concerned about past results.
"To qualify for the next stage, we have to look at the results of all eight games. I am not much concerned about the results of the previous matches. We have to look forward," said the Japanese, who guided his country to the last 16 round at the 2018 World Cup.
Nishino has focused on strict discipline since being appointed coach of Thailand a few months ago.
He admitted that the players were not allowed to use their mobile phones during a meal.
"I want them to interact with one another and talk to each other," he said.
"We work as a team so we need rules."
The Japanese said he had asked the players and officials to be punctual.
"I am not trying to bring the Japanese culture to the Thai team. I am trying to be flexible. If they think this is inconvenient, then we can talk and consider changes," he said.
He said it was improper for some Malaysian journalists to spy on Thailand's training.
"The security team must do their duty strictly. We want a fair competition without any complaint," Nishino said.
Thailand captain Siwarak Tedsungnoen said: "I am happy to come back and play at this stadium. It will be difficult but we will try to get a good result."
Thailand will be without defender Theerathon Bunmathan but welcome back playmaker Chanathip Songkrasin who missed the game against the UAE due to injury.
Meanwhile, Malaysia coach Tan Cheng Hoe said he wanted the Harimau Malaya (Malayan Tigers) to be aware of Thailand's improvement.
"Tomorrow's match is an important one, against Thailand who have called up their best players. This is not the same Thailand that we faced off against last year [when they drew 0-0].
"Thailand have appointed a new and well-known head coach. This has further motivated their players.
"We need a better and positive approach to take on a team that is led by a former World Cup coach. Their attacking is really good.
"It's important for my players to head into the match with the right attitude and right tactics."
