Predicted lineup for Vietnam and Singapore: Xuan Son – Tien Linh in the starting lineup

Vietnam's expected lineup

Vietnam entered this match with almost a full squad, except for the absence of Van Toan due to injury. Despite having a 2-0 advantage, but with the support of fans at home stadium Viet Tri, coach Kim Sang Sik will not be subjective and still maintain the strongest squad.

Goalkeeper: Dinh Trieu continues to be the number one choice in goal, he has made important saves throughout the tournament.

Defender: Thanh Chung will continue to play in the center of defense despite receiving two yellow cards in the group stage and the first leg. He is still eligible to play thanks to the rule of eliminating yellow cards in the semi-finals. Alongside Thanh Chung are Tien Dung, Xuan Manh, and Thanh Binh, forming a solid defensive quartet.

Midfield: Vietnam will continue to use the trio of Quang Hai, Hoang Duc, and Van Khang in the middle of the field. With the ability to control the ball and launch flexible attacks, this is an important trio that helps Vietnam maintain the initiative in the match.

Striker: With Xuan Son's impressive form, he will be the main spearhead in the attack. Alongside Xuan Son are Tien Linh and Vi Hao, players with the ability to break through and create scoring opportunities. These players will play an important role in maintaining the momentum and scoring early to settle the match.

Singapore's expected lineup

Despite losing the first leg 0-2, Singapore still had an important return in Kyoga Nakamura, one of their brightest stars, after serving a suspension. Here is the predicted lineup of the Singapore team.

Goalkeeper: Mahbud will continue to be Singapore's keeper. He has made some important saves in the previous matches and will need to be even better to keep a clean sheet in the return leg.

Defenders: Singapore will play a four-man defence, with Safuwan Baharudin, Adli, Lionel Tan and Najeeb. They will continue to employ a tight defensive strategy to thwart Vietnam's attacks.

Midfielders: Stewart, Sulaiman, and Syahin will be key players in providing the link between defence and attack. They will need to provide defensive support when dealing with Vietnam’s attacks, while also launching quick counter-attacks.

Forwards: Singapore’s attack will rely heavily on Anuar and Kweh, who are both sharp attackers. However, the return of Nakamura will make a big difference. He is not only a goalscorer but can also make crucial passes for his teammates.

Football commentary

Both Vietnam and Singapore will field their strongest possible lineups. The Vietnamese team, despite having a big advantage from the first leg, will not be complacent and will still attack strongly from the start to look for more goals. Meanwhile, Singapore will put all their efforts into finding a chance to turn the situation around. With the return of Nakamura, they will have more breakthroughs in attack.

However, the home ground of Viet Tri and the current form of the Vietnamese team will be the deciding factors in this match. Vietnam is predicted to win 2-1, although Singapore will certainly not easily accept defeat.
