LIVE: Thailand vs Vietnam, a fateful match (King's Cup 2019, 7:45 p.m.)

The Thailand vs Vietnam match will take place at 7:45 p.m. on June 5 at Chang Arena in Buriram. The home team is ranked 114th by FIFA, and is considered lower than the Vietnam team (ranked 98th). However, the history of Thailand vs Vietnam matches is in favor of the home team.

According to statistics, in the last 9 matches, Thailand won 5, drew 3 and lost only 1. Before that, Vietnam only had 1 more victory against Thailand, when they beat their opponent 3-0 in the semi-finals of the Tiger Cup 1998.

In the history of confrontations between Thailand and Vietnam, the Thais have only lost once. That was the 1-2 loss to Vietnam in the first leg of the AFF Cup 2008 final. Since that milestone, the Thais have not known what it means to lose to Vietnam at the national team level.

In their most recent meeting in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, Thailand won both matches against Vietnam. The “War Elephants” defeated coach Miura’s team 1-0 at home and won 3-0 at My Dinh.

Before this match, the Thai team was without Chanathip, Sanrawat withdrew due to injury. Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team did not have the service of Dinh Trong due to injury. Players like Phan Van Duc are also regrettable absences in the tactical scheme of coach Park Hang-seo.
