Malaysia discovered their opening opponents in next month's Suzuki Cup when Cambodia came through the AFF qualification tournament on home soil last week.
The Cambodians, who will appear in the Southeast Asian tournament for the first time since 2008, will face Malaysia in the Group B opener in Yangon on Nov. 20.
Here are five reasons why the Angkor Warriors should not be underestimated:
1. Ready to make impact on big stage
After an eight-year absence, Cambodia will be raring to go when the Suzuki Cup gets underway.
Their previous exploits at the tournament have seen the Cambodians notch just two wins in 19 matches.
But these are different times, and the gap between the region's traditional heavyweights and those regarded as the lesser lights, has significantly narrowed.
In the previous edition back in 2014, Myanmar and Laos -- they both had to progress through qualifying -- were hardly embarrassed.
Myanmar, in particular, gave a good account of themselves as they held Malaysia to a 0-0 draw in their opening game before losing by only two goals to four-time champions Singapore and Thailand.
