The first match of the Vietnamese team in Group B of the 2024 AFF Cup (ASEAN Cup) is a confrontation with the Lao team. The goal of coach Kim Sang-sik and his team is to win big to aim for the top spot in the group and create a big advantage over their opponent Indonesia.
In the last 3 AFF Cups, the Vietnamese team has always won against Laos and not conceded a single goal in the opening match. However, Laos has made a lot of progress and is not an easy opponent to defeat with a big score like in previous years. They just held Thailand to a 1-1 draw in a friendly match not long ago.
Vietnam team meets Laos in the opening match of AFF Cup 2024.
The Vietnamese team only won one of their first five matches under coach Kim Sang-sik. However, during their recent training trip to South Korea, Nguyen Quang Hai and his teammates won all three closed-door training matches against the host clubs. The Vietnamese team only conceded one goal in those three matches.
In a situation where they need to win, even win big, coach Kim Sang-sik will prioritize an attacking lineup. The Vietnamese team will certainly put pressure on their opponents from the very first minutes.
Nguyen Tien Linh - who is in good form for both the national team and V.League - will play the main role when Nguyen Xuan Son is unable to play. The striker born in 1997 needs to seize the opportunity to make his mark, thereby securing his starting position when he is about to compete with another excellent striker.
Laos 0-0 Vietnam Score
