Latest information on Thailand vs Vietnam forces
Before the second leg of the AFF Cup 2024 final at Rajamangala Stadium, the Vietnamese team faced some significant losses in terms of strength. Striker Van Toan, one of the fast and experienced attackers, could not play due to injury. In addition, defender Ho Tan Tai was also absent due to a torn knee tendon, forcing coach Kim Sang-sik to find a replacement in defense. The absence of Tan Tai, who always creates solidity on the right wing, could affect Vietnam's ability to defend and support the attack. However, coach Kim still has key players such as Xuan Son - a striker who has scored 7 goals in this tournament, setting a personal record and becoming a factor that makes a big difference for the team.
Meanwhile, the Thai team entered the match with the strongest force. Key stars such as Suphanat, Suphachok and Panya have fully recovered, bringing great confidence to the War Elephants. In particular, central defender Chalermsak Aukkee, who scored the goal to reduce the score in the first leg, continues to be the hope in both defense and attack for Thailand. The return of all the pillars helps the home team have more tactical options to overwhelm Vietnam at Rajamangala Stadium.
With home advantage and the support of more than 40,000 spectators, Thailand promises to show a strong attacking style to close the gap by 1 goal. Meanwhile, Vietnam will have to play cautiously, focusing on counter-attacking defense - a tactic that helped coach Kim Sang-sik's team win 2-1 in the first leg despite having less possession of the ball. Despite certain losses, the Vietnamese team still has a great opportunity to create a miracle if it can maximize the strengths it has shown throughout the tournament.
Latest expected lineup for Thailand vs Vietnam
Thailand: Khammai, Hemviboon, Mickelson, Bureerat, Aukkee, Panya, Weidersjoe, Davis, Pumwiset, Ratree, Gustavsson.
Vietnam: Dinh Trieu; Tien Anh, Tien Dung, Thanh Chung, Duy Manh, Xuan Manh; Hoang Duc, Ngoc Tan, Hai Long; Vi Hao, Xuan Son.
Latest football commentary on Thailand vs Vietnam
The second leg of the 2024 AFF Cup final between Thailand and Vietnam promises to be a dramatic and tense match, as both teams set the highest goals. After a 2-1 victory in the first leg at Viet Tri Stadium, the Vietnamese team is holding a great advantage to advance to the championship. However, the challenge at Rajamangala Stadium, where Thailand received enthusiastic cheers from more than 40,000 spectators, will certainly not be easy.
Under the guidance of coach Masatada Ishii, Thailand has shown a powerful attacking style, especially in important matches. The return of key players such as Suphanat, Suphachok and Panya has helped the "War Elephants" squad gain more depth and diversity in their playing style. With the task of scoring at least one goal to level the score, Thailand is expected to take the initiative to attack from the start, taking advantage of fast moves and effective aerial ball play.
For Vietnam, the victory in the first leg brought a significant advantage, but at the same time put the team under pressure to defend against the pressure from the home team. Coach Kim Sang Sik has demonstrated flexibility in tactics, especially in taking advantage of quick counter-attacks, maximizing the speed and sharp finishing ability of striker Xuan Son - who is in brilliant form with 7 goals in the tournament. However, the absence of Van Toan and Ho Tan Tai due to injury will somewhat affect the balance in the squad.
The match is expected to be a one-sided affair as Thailand presses hard to find a goal, while Vietnam focuses on defense and waits for counter-attack opportunities. With determination and good organization, Vietnam can completely take advantage of their opponents' mistakes to make a difference, just like they did in the first leg.
