The opponent took the lead.

* PRE-MATCH PREDICTIONS

In the semi-finals yesterday (October 6), the Vietnamese women's volleyball team faced the Japanese team. Thanh Thuy and her teammates played with great effort and at times created a balanced game, chasing the score dramatically with their opponents. After losing the first two games, coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's team won the third game to bring the match to a fourth game. However, in the decisive moments, the Japanese team (ranked 9th in the world) still showed a higher level and won the match with a score of 3-1.

Unable to surprise Japan, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team had to play for the bronze medal. In the other semi-final, the Thai team lost to the host China. Thus, the two teams with many fates, Vietnam and Thailand, once again faced each other in the Asian playground.

Vietnam women's volleyball team is expected to erase the curse against Thailand

In the last meeting in the second round of the 2023 Asian Women's Volleyball Championship, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team lost 1-3 to the Thai team. In this tournament, after defeating Vietnam, the Thai team excellently defeated both Japan and China to win the championship. Previously, in the final of the 32nd SEA Games women's volleyball (in Cambodia), Thanh Thuy and her teammates also lost 1-3 to the Thai team.

Meeting again in the bronze medal match of ASIAD 19, this is a good opportunity for the Vietnamese women's volleyball team to pay back the debt of losing to the Thai team. The dangerous hitter and also the brightest star on the Thai side is Chatchu On. Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet needs to have reasonable tactics for the Vietnamese team's blockers to limit the attacking power of this Thai hitter born in 1999.

Kieu Trinh is the main striker of the Vietnam team.

Thanh Thuy is still the leader of the Vietnamese women's volleyball team. In addition, Kieu Trinh also had an excellent performance against the Japanese team and is expected to continue to shine to bring good results for the Vietnamese team.
