According to the schedule, the Vietnamese team will visit Singapore at Jalan Besar Stadium, in the first leg of the ASEAN Cup 2024 semi-final.
Coach Kim Sang-sik's team is considered to be superior to its opponents in both strength and expertise. History is also leaning towards the "Golden Star Warriors" as Singapore has not been able to beat Vietnam in the past 26 years.
Quang Hai and his teammates will do everything possible to achieve favorable results to reach the final, while extending their unbeaten streak against the Lion Island team.
Currently, the Vietnamese team is somewhat weakened as striker Van Toan was injured in the previous match against Myanmar. In addition, central defender Bui Hoang Viet Anh also showed signs of pain, affecting his physical condition. This forced the Korean strategist to come up with some suitable personnel adjustments.
On the other side, the Singapore team is ready for the upcoming match. Head coach Tsutomu Ogura said he has a plan to counter Xuan Son as well as the Vietnamese team's attack.
The most important "explosive" in the Singapore squad is "veteran" Shawal Anuar - who scored a super goal against Thailand and is temporarily leading the list of top scorers with 4 goals. Besides, there are also Ramli, Ryhan Stewart, Jordan Emaviwe...
The first leg semi-final match between Vietnam and Singapore will take place at 8:00 p.m. on December 26 and will be broadcast live on VTV2 and FPT Play.
