The Vietnamese team will face the Thai team in the first leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final at 8:00 p.m. on January 2 at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho province).
To ensure stability in the goal like from the beginning of the tournament, coach Kim Sang-sik still put goalkeeper Dinh Trieu in the starting lineup. His backup is Nguyen Filip.
The 3 central defenders in this match are Bui Tien Dung, Nguyen Thanh Chung and Pham Xuan Manh. Nguyen Van Vi and Vu Van Thanh will take charge of the 2 wings of the Vietnamese team in this match.
In midfield, Chau Ngoc Quang, Nguyen Hoang Duc and Doan Ngoc Tan appeared. Hoang Duc also took on the captaincy of the Vietnamese team in this match.
The spearhead of the Vietnamese team's attack in this match is Nguyen Xuan Son. He is expected to continue scoring goals to compete for the title of top scorer of this year's tournament. Pairing with Xuan Son is young striker Bui Vi Hao.
The Vietnamese team will receive enthusiastic cheers from about 20,000 spectators at Viet Tri Stadium. The impressive performance since the beginning of the tournament when being unbeaten after 6 matches (5 wins, 1 draw) is also the basis for fans to expect a good result from the Vietnamese team in the first leg of the final against the Thai team.
