The Vietnamese team entered the third match of the AFF Cup 2024 group stage against the Philippines. Visiting the “Azkals” is never easy for any opponent. If they win, the Vietnamese team will definitely take the top spot in the group and will not meet the Thai team in the semi-finals.
Vietnam vs Philippines Prediction
Through recent matches, the Vietnamese team is definitely rated higher than the Philippines. The balance of power between the two teams is even more clearly different at the AFF Cup 2024. Thailand is missing many key players who are playing in Europe and Thailand. Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team has a stable force, the key players are starting to regain their form.
The Vietnamese team needs to win against the Philippines.
The Philippines did not perform well at the 2024 AFF Cup. Playing at home, Coach Capellas and his team drew 1-1 with the Myanmar team, who did not show anything special. The only goal conceded came from a beautiful free kick by Maung Maung Lwin. The Philippines equalized thanks to a penalty.
Against the underdog Laos, the Philippines were very lucky to escape defeat. They let coach Ha Hyeok Jun and his team take the lead and then equalize. However, in the last 20 minutes of the match, the Laos team poured forward and made Deyto's goal unstable. They missed at least 4 chances to end the match.
That said, the Philippines is not a strong opponent for the Vietnamese team. The problem for coach Kim Sang-sik and his team is converting their advantage into goals. The Vietnamese team easily controlled the game, winning in the midfield but failed to handle the decisive moments.
Apart from Quang Hai and Hai Long, it cannot be said that the other strikers have played up to the requirements. However, it is likely that coach Kim Sang-sik will have to consider “putting away” Hai Long to ensure that this player recovers from his injury. It is necessary that an energetic striker like Tuan Hai is used to support Quang Hai and Tien Linh.
In defense, Van Thanh or Xuan Manh are enough to stop the Philippine team's wingers. The home team has wingers with speed and strength but lack sophistication and have not brought the necessary efficiency.
In addition, Nguyen Hoang Duc's role needs to be more clearly demonstrated in the midfield. Doan Ngoc Tan cannot be expected to compete one-on-one and run "all over the field" but must pass well and create well. That task belongs to Nguyen Hoang Duc. Unfortunately, the midfielder born in 1998 has not been able to do it.
Ultimately, the goal of the Vietnamese team is to win. 3 points will help coach Kim Sang-sik and his team avoid Thailand in the semi-finals.
Force information:
The Philippines team had no regrettable absences in the lineup despite having just gone through a very difficult match at the Laos National Stadium.
The Vietnamese team has some players with minor injuries such as Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Van Toan, Nguyen Hai Long and Pham Tuan Hai.
Expected lineup:
Philippines: Deyto, Kempter, Linares, Aguinaldo, Tabinas, Rontini, Kekkonen, Bailey, Monis, Kristensen, Reyes.
Vietnam: Nguyen Filip, Tien Dung, Duy Manh, Thanh Chung, Xuan Manh, Van Thanh, Ngoc Tan, Hoang Duc, Quang Hai, Tuan Hai, Tien Linh.
