Vietnam are in high spirits after their 2-0 win in the first leg. However, the victory was not easy as Tien Linh and Xuan Son could only score in the final minutes of injury time. Vietnam's play was solid, but they still faced some difficulties against Singapore's solid defense.

Playing at home in Viet Tri, coach Kim Sang Sik and his team have a big advantage as they only need a draw to advance to the final. However, fans do not want the team to be held to a draw, but rather expect a big win to affirm their strength. With a full squad and stable performance, Vietnam can completely meet this expectation.

Despite losing 0-2 in the first leg, Singapore showed their toughness with a tight defense and sharp counterattacks. This team has nothing to lose in the second leg and will do their best to find a chance to turn the tables.

The return of Kyoga Nakamura – a key player after a suspension – will strengthen the visitors. However, playing away from home under pressure from the Vietnamese audience is a big challenge for coach Takayuki Nishigaya’s players.

Comments and predictions

Vietnam is holding a big advantage with a 2-0 victory in the first leg. Playing at home with a superior force, coach Kim Sang Sik's students are likely to continue to win. However, Singapore will not give up easily and can cause surprises with sharp counter-attacks.

To ensure victory, Vietnam needs to take advantage of opportunities in the first half to quickly relieve pressure. At the same time, players like Xuan Son must remain calm in the face of the opponent's tricks.

Score prediction: Vietnam 2-1 Singapore.
