Indonesia is not a threat Looking at the recent progress, coach Shin Tae Yong's team is formidable, but looking deeper into the playing style, experience, organizational ability... Indonesia is not as strong as many people think. With many young players in the squad, even playing for the first time in the national team jersey and not being too outstanding in terms of expertise, including a few positions from the A team such as Marselino, Arhan, Struick, this led to Indonesia showing quite a bit of difficulty when meeting Myanmar and Laos. That does not mean that the Vietnamese team can easily win against Indonesia. But the team from the archipelago at the ASEAN Cup 2024 is very different from the face in the Asian Cup or the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, so the chance of winning all 3 points for coach Kim Sang Sik's team is relatively good.

The biggest opponent is still... the Vietnamese team. The victory over the Lao team in the opening match of coach Kim Sang Sik's students, except for completing the goal of points and testing, was not very convincing. Against the weaker Lao team, the Vietnamese team's defense still made some errors and mistakes. The conceded goal or some careless passes as seen cannot be repeated when facing Indonesia.

In addition to the above mistakes, the ability to compete in the midfield needs to be improved, more effective when Indonesia is far different from Laos in terms of strength and fierceness in one-on-one matches. In terms of expertise, but whether it is worrying or needs to be improved... the Vietnamese team is still considered to be better than Indonesia, at least from what both teams have shown in past matches. Therefore, the opportunity to win all 3 points for coach Kim Sang Sik and his team is still very bright. The worrying thing as well as possibly the biggest opponent that the Vietnamese team has to face and needs to overcome is the psychological pressure when facing Indonesia again. The reason for this is because in the most recent matches from the 2026 World Cup qualifiers to the Asian Cup, the Vietnamese team has not been able to beat the team from the archipelago country, at the same time, Indonesia only brought the second team to the 2024 ASEAN Cup, which can easily make coach Kim Sang Sik's students more psychological. This is a huge obstacle for the Vietnamese team to convincingly defeat Indonesia at Viet Tri Stadium in a few days, unless they overcome psychological problems because, as analyzed, the team from the archipelago is not stable at the ASEAN Cup 2024.
