Latest information on Vietnam vs Indonesia forces

In the upcoming match within the framework of the AFF Cup 2024, the Vietnamese team will enter the confrontation with Indonesia with the strongest force. Coach Kim Sang Sik and his team are ready, no players are injured or suspended. The expected lineup of the Vietnamese team includes top stars, such as Nguyen Filip in goal, Tien Linh and Van Toan in attack, and the solidity of Duy Manh and Thanh Chung in defense.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian team suffered a big loss when key midfielder Marselino Ferdinan received a red card in the 3-3 draw with Laos and could not participate. This absence has caused coach Shin Tae Yong a headache to find an alternative solution. He said he has targeted Ivar Jenner – a player playing abroad – but convincing Jenner's home club to let him participate is still open.

Coach Shin Tae Yong added: “The absence of Ferdinan is a big loss. I hope to be able to call Ivar Jenner and the Indonesian Football Federation is currently trying to contact him so he can participate.”

Latest football commentary on Vietnam vs Indonesia

The Vietnamese team will host Indonesia in an important match in the group stage of the AFF Cup 2024. This is an opportunity for coach Kim Sang Sik and his team to assert their position and win a ticket to the semi-finals, especially when they play at home with the strongest force. On the contrary, Indonesia is facing many difficulties in terms of personnel and match schedule, making the match at Viet Tri Stadium a big challenge for the team from the land of thousands of islands.

Vietnam just had a 4-1 victory over Laos in the opening match. However, the performance of coach Kim Sang Sik's players has not really reassured fans. In the first half, although they completely controlled the game, the team struggled to finish and only really exploded in the second half of the match. This shows that Vietnam needs to improve its ability to take advantage of opportunities when facing stronger opponents like Indonesia.

On the other side, Indonesia also just had an emotional match with Laos, ending in a 3-3 draw. Despite having a good game and constantly imposing their style of play, the defense of the team from the archipelago country was loose, allowing the opponent to score from set pieces and counter-attacks. Notably, Indonesia will not have the service of key midfielder Marselino Ferdinan in the match against Vietnam due to a red card. This is a big loss, forcing coach Shin Tae Yong to urgently look for alternative solutions, including the possibility of calling up Ivar Jenner if he receives approval from this player's club.

In addition to the difficulties in terms of personnel, Indonesia is also affected by a dense match schedule, forcing the team to go through a tiring journey before arriving in Viet Tri. Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team has 5 days off after the match against Laos, enough time to recover physically and prepare tactics. The home field advantage and the support of the audience are great motivations for coach Kim Sang Sik and his team to confidently set the goal of winning all 3 points.

However, this will not be an easy match. Indonesia, despite being at a disadvantage, is still very dangerous, especially in set pieces and the ability to counterattack quickly. Coach Kim Sang Sik will need to calculate carefully to ensure that the Vietnamese team not only wins but also preserves its strength and tactics for the long journey ahead.

Prediction: Vietnam 2-1 Indonesia. This is the time for Vietnam to prove their mettle, but they need to be cautious against an Indonesia team that is playing with nothing to lose.
