At 8:00 p.m. today, the Philippines team will host the Thai team at Rizal Memorial Stadium in the first leg of the ASEAN Cup 2024 semi-finals. The Golden Temple team is expected to face many difficulties when playing on artificial turf.
In terms of strength, the Thai team is considered to be better than its opponent. They have a squad of young, energetic but experienced players such as Suphanat, Nicolas Mickelson, Patrik Gustavsson, Johnathan Khemdee, Worachit...
In the group stage, the "War Elephants" were the only team to win all 4 matches with 12 points. Notably, in the match against Singapore, despite the opponent leading by 2 goals, Thailand still had the courage to turn the game around and win 4-2.
Coach Ishii's team has a beautiful attacking style of play, the players coordinate well and deploy many different plans to score goals. This is a big challenge for all defenses at the ASEAN Cup 2024.
On the other side, the Philippines squeezed through a narrow gap to win a ticket to the semi-finals as the second place in Group B. However, the performance of this team is still commendable as they know how to score points against strong opponents like Vietnam and Indonesia.
Although "The Azkals" are not highly rated, playing at home is an advantage for them in this match, especially when the players are familiar with playing on artificial turf.
The match between the Philippines and Thailand in the semi-finals of the ASEAN Cup 2024 will take place at 8:00 p.m. on December 27 and will be broadcast live on FPT Play.
