Line-up:
Pre-match information
At home, the Singapore team will host the Thai team in the fourth match of Group A - ASEAN Cup (formerly known as AFF Cup) 2024.
Currently, both teams have 6 points, but the "War Elephants" are ranked higher due to a better goal difference (+11 compared to +4). Therefore, the result of this match will determine the top spot in the table.
Thailand has a chance to enter the semi-finals one round early with the top spot in Group A if they defeat Singapore in this match. Therefore, coach Masatada Ishii and his players are determined to win convincingly to complete the set goal.
If so, they will also easily calculate personnel, and can completely use the second team in the last match of the group stage to save energy for the pillars heading to the semi-finals.
On the other side of the battle line, the Singapore team, although not having the advantage like Thailand, still has the right to decide on the ticket to the next round. The team of the Lion Island needs to defeat the opponent to have one hand on the knockout round.
However, this is a difficult challenge for Tsutomu Ogura's team because Singapore's squad and expertise are hard to compare with Thailand's. Therefore, they will have to try much harder if they want to get good results.
