Both Vietnam and Thailand have quality squads, but how they play and the factors that will decide the outcome of the upcoming match could change the outcome. Here is a detailed look at the strengths of both teams.
The Power of Vietnam
The Vietnamese team has a quality squad with a perfect combination of veteran players and young talents. Under the guidance of coach Kim Sang Sik, the team has shown a flexible and sharp playing style throughout the AFF Cup 2024 journey, especially in the semi-final match against Singapore. Although missing some key players such as Ho Tan Tai and Vu Van Thanh due to injury, the squad still has notable names such as Quang Hai, Hoang Duc and Tien Linh.
Defense: Vietnam has a very solid defense, especially in the center-back position with Duy Manh and Thanh Chung. Full-backs like Xuan Manh and Van Vi are always ready to support the defense and join the attack, helping the team maintain stability at both ends of the field.
Midfield: With quality midfielders like Quang Hai and Hoang Duc, Vietnam do not lack creativity and ball control. These midfielders are able to distribute the ball accurately and create opportunities for the attackers.
Attack: Tien Linh is one of the top strikers of the Vietnam team, with sharp finishing ability and great influence on the field. Together with other players like Xuan Son, the Vietnam team has enough diverse attacking ability to cause difficulties for the Thai defense.
With home ground advantage and a strong squad, Vietnam can be completely confident in their ability to win this match, although Thailand is always a strong opponent.
The Power of Thailand
Thailand, although not having the strongest squad in the 2024 AFF Cup, is still a formidable opponent that Vietnam must be wary of. The Golden Temple team has a very sharp counter-attacking style of play and always knows how to exploit the opponent's weaknesses. Coach Masatada Ishii will continue to build a strong squad with players who have proven their class in international tournaments.
Defense: Although not the strongest defense, Thailand still has experienced defenders like Mickelson and Bureerat. These players are solid in 1v1 situations and have good defensive organization.
Midfield: Thailand have a strong midfield, with players like Sarachat and Chamrasamee. They are able to control the ball and slow down the pace of the game, helping the team maintain stability. They are also very flexible in transitioning from defense to attack.
Attack: Gustavsson and Davis are Thailand's main attackers. Gustavsson with his versatile finishing ability and Davis with his agility are always a threat to the opponent's defense. Thailand's counter-attacks can be very dangerous if the Vietnamese team is not focused.
Despite facing physical difficulties after a tense semi-final, Thailand is always a team that can create surprises. With a deep squad and flexibility in tactics, Thailand will be an opponent that Vietnam must be extremely cautious of.
Both Vietnam and Thailand have their own strengths. While Vietnam has home advantage and a balanced squad, Thailand is a very dangerous team in counter-attacks. With stability and key players such as Quang Hai, Tien Linh and Hoang Duc, Vietnam is likely to win this match. However, Thailand is not easy to beat and will be a big challenge for the Vietnamese team in defending their home advantage.
