Harimau Malaya midfielder Safiq Rahim tops the list of which player will score the most goals during tonight's 2014 AFF Suzuki Cup final between Malaysia and Thailand.
The poll, conducted on Astro AWANI's Twitter account @501awani, revealed that Safiq was the clear favourite.
Trailing behind him in the poll are fellow midfielder Indra Putra Mahyuddin and striker Nor Shahrul Idlan Tallaha, or Mat Yo.

Meanwhile, Safiq, 28, said his team should make the most of home ground advantage tonight.
"We will seize all opportunities and avoid from making mistakes," he said.
He also said controlling the ball at midfield is important to prevent Thailand from making an attack.
Thailand downed Malaysia 2-0 in the first leg of the final on Wednesday in Bangkok. Malaysia now needs to overturn a two-goal deficit in the second leg of the final leg tonight at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium to emerge champions.
