The Indonesian team entered the second match of the AFF Cup 2024 group stage against the Laos team. Welcoming a weaker opponent at home, coach Shin Tae-yong and his team set the goal of winning with a large margin. If they do this, they will take the top spot from the Vietnamese team before the two teams meet in the third match on December 15.
Indonesia vs Laos Prediction
The images of the Indonesian and Lao teams contrasted in many aspects after the first match. Indonesia narrowly won against Myanmar with an own goal from its opponent. Arhan Kaka - a 17-year-old talent - felt the heat of the number 1 tournament in Southeast Asia. Nothing is as easy as the previous confident statements of the Indonesian Football Federation.
Laos team shows progress.
The Indonesian team won in the same way they did when they only had a not-so-great domestic squad. Arhan Pratama kept throwing the ball in and the players in the middle waited for the opportunity to create chaos. Playing like that cannot guarantee victory. Coach Shin Tae-yong understood this and he really needed the match against Laos to "discipline" his players.
Meanwhile, the Lao team, despite losing 1-4 to Vietnam, left many good impressions on fans. Nguyen Tien Linh - the best player of the match admitted to facing many difficulties and the Lao team made great progress.
The current Laos team plays more disciplined, more cohesively and forms a formidable defense. It took the Vietnamese team 60 minutes to break the deadlock.
Phetdavanh Somsanid and Bounphachan Bounlong are the two brightest stars of the Laos team. Bounkong is alone but sometimes still makes the Vietnamese defense falter. Meanwhile, Phetdavanh was excellent for most of the match, he blocked many quality attacks of the Vietnamese team. Of course, Phetdavanh alone is not enough.
Many people hope that the Laos team can cause a surprise, but that is a romantic story that even the team of the million elephants can hardly dream of. Finding an honorable goal and conceding as little as possible is a realistic goal for the Laos team.
Force information
The Indonesian team still cannot have the services of the naturalized duo Ivar Jenner and Justin Hubner. None of the 24 players who went to Myanmar 3 days ago are injured. Meanwhile, the Lao team has the strongest squad. However, the ability of the players of both teams to play depends on their physical recovery.
Indonesia's expected lineup: Indonesia: Supriadi, Pamungkas, Arel, Muhammad Ferrari, Nico, Fariz, Fikri, Pratama Arhan, Marselino Ferdinan, Kaka, Caraka.
Laos' expected lineup: Xaysavath, Sangvilay, Siphongphan, Phedavanh, Chanthavixay, Soukphachan, Chony, Bounphachan, Damoth Thongkhamsavath, Sengdaovy, Peter Phanthavong.
Prediction: Indonesia 3-1 Laos
