Pre-match information
The Vietnamese futsal team won a ticket to the semi-finals of the 2024 Southeast Asian Championship with the top spot in Group A. Coach Giustozzi and his team won all four matches against Timor Leste (4-1), Malaysia (2-1), Brunei (14-0) and Thailand (3-2).
Notably, the Vietnamese futsal team created an "earthquake" when they defeated the team from the land of the golden pagodas in the final match of the group stage. Although the opponent took the lead twice, Pham Duc Hoa's goal and Dinh Cong Vien's double helped Vietnam make an impressive comeback.
Leading Group A helps the Vietnamese futsal team "breathe easier" in the semi-finals when facing the Australian futsal team. This team entered the knockout round as the second place in Group B.
In the 3 encounters since 2019, the Vietnamese futsal team has the advantage with all wins. Most recently, before the 2024 Southeast Asian Championship, the two teams had a friendly match and Mr. Giustozzi and his team once again defeated Australia.
Currently, the Vietnamese futsal team is considered to be better than the opponent. However, the players are not allowed to be subjective. Duc Hoa and his teammates need to maintain confidence, stable performance and make the most of the opportunities created.
