Latest Singapore vs Vietnam team information
The Singapore team is currently at its best and has not recorded any serious injuries. In particular, the return of Shawal Anuar – the player leading the scoring list at the AFF Cup 2024 with 4 goals – is a bright spot. However, coach Tsutomu Ogura is still considering the possibility of Anuar playing the full 90 minutes, as the Singapore team's high-intensity playing style requires flexible changes in the squad.
As for the Vietnamese team, Van Toan will be absent due to injury in the match against Myanmar. However, coach Kim Sang Sik still has a replacement plan with the presence of key players such as Nguyen Xuan Son, who showed excellent form with 2 goals and 2 assists in the group stage. The whole team quickly stabilized their spirit and began to prepare carefully for the match, focusing on adapting to the artificial turf at Jalan Besar.

Latest Singapore vs Vietnam football commentary
The first leg of the AFF Cup 2024 semi-final between Singapore and Vietnam will take place at 8:00 p.m. on December 26 at Jalan Besar Stadium, Singapore. This is a confrontation that is expected to be very attractive and dramatic, as both teams have their own advantages and strengths, creating a challenging match for both sides.
In terms of form, Singapore has shown quite an impressive performance in the group stage. Coach Tsutomu Ogura's team won the right to enter the semi-finals after finishing second in Group A with 2 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss. Although not highly rated before the tournament, Singapore has proven its ability to fight tenaciously and have solid defensive discipline. In particular, this team just had an important draw with Malaysia in the final round of Group A, thereby officially entering the semi-finals. However, overall, Singapore's form is still not really stable and they will have to face a stronger Vietnam in this semi-final match.
On the other side, the Vietnamese team showed a more stable performance in the group stage, winning 4 matches unbeaten, with 3 wins and 1 draw. However, Vietnam's opponents in Group B are not rated too highly, and coach Kim Sang Sik's team encountered certain difficulties when facing these teams. In particular, the weakness of the Vietnamese team is the ability to attack in the first half, when they have not been able to score in the first half of recent matches. However, this team has notable stars such as Nguyen Xuan Son, the player who made a strong impression with 2 goals and 2 assists in the group stage, helping the Vietnamese team win the right to enter the semi-finals. Although Van Toan's absence due to injury is a big loss, with the strong force available, Vietnam is still rated higher in this match.
This match will take place on the artificial turf pitch of Jalan Besar, a condition that Singapore can take advantage of to create an advantage. With a familiar pitch, Singapore players will feel more comfortable when playing. However, this is also a big challenge for Vietnam, as the players will have to get used to the pitch conditions different from what they usually play. However, the Vietnamese team still has a strong squad and is highly appreciated for its expertise. The excellence of Nguyen Xuan Son in the role of the main striker and the ability to control the match of Quang Hai, Hoang Duc, and other players will be a solid support for the Vietnamese team.
In addition, an important factor that the Vietnamese team needs to pay attention to is defense. Singapore has shown that they are very dangerous in counter-attacking, especially in long ball situations and crosses. However, the Vietnamese team has a solid defense with experienced central defenders such as Tien Dung, Thanh Chung and Xuan Manh, which will help them limit the opponent's quick counter-attacks. If Vietnam can maintain concentration and not concede early goals, they can absolutely win this match.
Tactically, the Vietnamese team needs to take the initiative to control the game and create many attacking opportunities right from the start. If they can score early, the Vietnamese team will have a great chance to gain an advantage before returning home for the second leg. Meanwhile, Singapore will not easily accept defeat, especially when they have the home advantage and will try to play a tight defense while looking for counter-attacking opportunities.
