Vietnam vs Indonesia football prediction: Don't dream of winning big
VTC News•15/12/2024
(VTC News) - Full information on squads, statistics and football commentary for Vietnam vs Indonesia in Group B of the 2024 AFF Cup taking place at 8:00 p.m. on December 15.
The most notable match in Group B is between Vietnam and Indonesia. The winner of this match will secure the top spot in the group, thereby avoiding the very strong opponent Thailand in the semi-finals. The team from the land of the golden pagodas beat both Malaysia and Timor Leste and is likely to lead Group A. Vietnam vs Indonesia football prediction The situations of the Vietnam and Indonesia teams are completely opposite before the confrontation on the evening of December 15. Facing many difficulties against Laos, the Vietnam team still handled the situation well and beat their opponent 4-1. Still the Laos team, but Indonesia struggled so much that at times it seemed like they would have to accept defeat.
Tien Linh aims to score against Indonesia.
In general, the Indonesian team is still too young and the players themselves are not as talented as the archipelago expected. The illusion of naturalized stars is gradually being dispelled and replaced by concerns about Indonesia's "domestic" talent generation. Coach Shin Tae-yong gave many reasons but could not convince anyone after the 3-3 draw with Laos. Indonesia has all U22 players but Laos also has players born in 2006 and even 2007 who are still starting and shining. Even Indonesia's 1-0 victory over Myanmar was full of luck. The question is how long Rafael Struick and his teammates can escape like that? 3 out of 4 goals Indonesia scored came from Arhan Pratama's throw-ins. But Vietnam's defense is not "amateurs" like Laos or Myanmar. Thanh Chung, Duy Manh or Tien Dung are strong enough to withstand this strange "weapon" of Indonesian football. The Indonesian team's attacks in "live" situations are not as good as set pieces. Even on the defensive front, Kadek Arel and Ferrari scored goals when attacking but they could not stop the Lao strikers. Bounphachan Bounkong alone was enough to "torture" the Indonesian defenders. Not to mention, the Indonesian team faces physical concerns when having to play 2 consecutive matches and move continuously. On the other side of the front line, the Vietnamese team has many reasons to be confident. Coach Kim Sang-sik has not used all his "playbook" in the match against Laos but still achieved the goal of a big win. As soon as stars like Quang Hai, Tuan Hai, and Van Toan were put on the field, the Vietnamese team immediately created pressure that made the opponent crumble. The Vietnamese team is not subjective against Indonesia, but if they play at their best, winning 3 points at home is within reach. However, the players should not dream of a "destructive" victory to repay the debt in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Three points are the most important, but preserving strength is also a task. In a weaker position, the Indonesian team can completely return to a more aggressive playing style than necessary to gain points. Force information: The Vietnamese team has the strongest force, Quang Hai will start after the first match on the bench. The other players are in the best physical condition. The Indonesian team is without Marselino Ferdinan due to a red card. The duo Justin Hubner and Ivar Jenner continue to be absent. Prediction: Vietnam 2-0 IndonesiaStarting lineup: Vietnam: Nguyen Dinh Trieu, Duy Manh, Thanh Chung, Tien Dung, Hoang Duc, Ngoc Tan, Xuan Manh, Van Thanh, Tuan Hai, Quang Hai, Tien Linh. Indonesia: Daffa Fasya (22) - Muhammad Ferrari (13), Kadek Arel (4), Kakang Rudianto (5), Dony Pamungkas (16) - Rayhan Hannan (15), Arhan Kaka (20), Arkhan Fikri (8), Pratama Arhan (12) - Rafael Struick (10), Hokky Caraka (9).
