Latest information on the Vietnam vs Indonesia match lineups.
In their upcoming match against Indonesia in the AFF Cup 2024, the Vietnamese national team will field their strongest squad. Coach Kim Sang Sik's team is in top form, with no players injured or suspended. The expected lineup for Vietnam includes top stars such as Nguyen Filip in goal, Tien Linh and Van Toan in attack, and the solid defense of Duy Manh and Thanh Chung.
Meanwhile, the Indonesian team suffered a major blow when key midfielder Marselino Ferdinand received a red card in the 3-3 draw against Laos and was unable to participate. This absence has left coach Shin Tae Yong scrambling to find a replacement. He stated that he has targeted Ivar Jenner – a player currently playing abroad – but convincing Jenner's club to allow him to join remains uncertain.
Coach Shin Tae Yong added: “The absence of Ferdinand is a big loss. I hope to be able to call up Ivar Jenner, and the Indonesian Football Federation is currently working to contact him so he can join.”

Latest football match prediction: Vietnam vs Indonesia
The Vietnamese national team will host Indonesia in a crucial group stage match of the 2024 AFF Cup. This is an opportunity for coach Kim Sang Sik's team to assert their position and secure a place in the semi-finals, especially as they will be playing at home with their strongest squad. Conversely, Indonesia is facing numerous difficulties regarding personnel and their schedule, making the match at Viet Tri Stadium a major challenge for the Indonesian team.
The Vietnamese national team secured a 4-1 victory against Laos in their opening match. However, the performance of coach Kim Sang Sik's players has yet to fully reassure fans. Despite completely controlling the game in the first half, the team struggled to finish effectively and only truly exploded in the second half. This shows that Vietnam needs to improve its ability to capitalize on opportunities when facing stronger opponents like Indonesia.
On the other side, Indonesia also just experienced an emotional match against Laos, ending in a 3-3 draw. Despite dominating possession and constantly imposing their style of play, the Indonesian defense proved weak, allowing the opponent to score from set pieces and counter-attacks. Notably, Indonesia will be without their key midfielder Marselino Ferdinand in the match against Vietnam due to a red card. This is a major loss, forcing coach Shin Tae Yong to urgently seek replacements, including the possibility of calling up Ivar Jenner if he receives approval from his club.
Besides squad difficulties, Indonesia also suffered from a packed schedule, forcing the team to endure a tiring journey before arriving in Viet Tri. Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team had 5 days of rest after their match against Laos, enough time to recover physically and prepare tactically. Home advantage and the support of the fans are great motivations for coach Kim Sang Sik's team to confidently aim for all 3 points.
However, this will not be an easy match. Despite being at a disadvantage, Indonesia remains very dangerous, especially in set pieces and with their fast counter-attacks. Coach Kim Sang Sik will need to carefully plan to ensure that the Vietnamese team not only wins but also preserves their strength and tactics for the long road ahead.
Prediction: Vietnam 2-1 Indonesia. This is the time for the Vietnamese team to prove themselves, but they need to be cautious against an Indonesian team playing with nothing to lose.
