Pre-match information

Tonight (December 26), the Vietnamese team will enter the first leg of the ASEAN Cup semi-final against Singapore at Jalan Besar Stadium.

Regarding the force, the Vietnamese team will definitely be without Van Toan because of a ligament injury in the previous match, which has not recovered in time. In addition, the Vietnamese central defender is open to the possibility of playing due to physical problems.

However, coach Kim Sang-sik still ensures the most optimal lineup with Quang Hai, Hoang Duc, Tien Linh, Xuan Son, Ngoc Tan, Thanh Chung, Duy Manh, Tien Dung, Van Thanh... In which, striker Nguyen Xuan Son is in excellent form and in good physical condition.

Although the squad and expertise are considered superior to Singapore, the Vietnamese team cannot be complacent. The Lion Island team brings to the ASEAN Cup a team rich in experience and age.

Coach Ogura has turned Shawal Anuar into the most dangerous striker at the moment with 4 goals and leading the list of top scorers. In addition, Stewart, Nakamura and Ramli have all shown their own professional value.

Singapore is a team with character and character. They are willing to defend with a large number of players in their own half and look to change their stance very quickly.
