At Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho), the Vietnamese team will host the Indonesian team in the third match of Group B - ASEAN Cup (formerly known as AFF Cup) 2024.
Coach Kim Sang-sik's team has many advantages over their opponents. Accordingly, the Vietnamese team is a collection of quality and experienced players who have competed in many international tournaments such as Quang Hai, Tien Linh, Van Thanh, Xuan Manh, Duy Manh, Hung Dung...
In addition, the "Golden Star Warriors" have a break of up to 5 days, ensuring physical strength and fitness. Playing at home with the support of 20,000 fans will give Quang Hai and his teammates more confidence.
On the other side, the Indonesian team does not have the services of naturalized players because the home club does not release them, instead, they have young players from the U22 age group. Only a few experienced strikers appear in the squad such as Asnawi, Ferrari, Ferdinan or Arhan.
Notably, in the upcoming match, Ferdinan - a shining star in the third qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup - will not play due to receiving a red card (2 yellow cards) in the match against Laos 2 days ago.
Besides, moving continuously after 2 consecutive matches more or less affects the physical strength of Indonesian players.
The match between Vietnam and Indonesia will take place at 8:00 p.m. today (December 15), broadcast live on VTV2 and FPT Play channels.
