World press predicts the result of the match between Vietnam and Indonesia

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Many newspapers around the world have predicted the outcome of the match between the Vietnamese and Indonesian national teams in the third round of the AFF Cup 2024, taking place at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho) at 8 PM today (December 15).

At 8 PM today, the Vietnamese national team will play a crucial match in the AFF Cup 2024 against the Indonesian national team. This is a match that coach Kim Sang Sik's team desperately wants to win to gain momentum in their journey towards winning the tournament.

Compared to the last three encounters between the two teams, Indonesia has changed significantly. They no longer have a squad of naturalized players from Europe. Instead, coach Shin Tae Yong has only called up a team consisting mostly of players under 22 years old. Therefore, the world press rates the Vietnamese team higher in this match. Sportskeeda (India) commented: "The Vietnamese team played brilliantly in their opening match, winning 4-1 against Laos. Hai Long, Tien Linh, Van Toan, and Van Vi were the goalscorers for the 'Golden Dragons'. Meanwhile, Indonesia struggled. They won luckily against Myanmar in the first match thanks to an own goal. Then, in the second match, the Garuda (the nickname of the Indonesian team) drew 3-3 with Laos. The host team, Vietnam, has rediscovered its form after a long period of disappointing performances. Indonesia, on the other hand, does not have its strongest squad. It is highly likely that the Vietnamese team will win." Sportskeeda predicts Vietnam will win 2-1.

Sporting News (USA) commented: "The Vietnamese national team got off to a good start at the AFF Cup 2024 by defeating Laos 4-1. Although the "Golden Dragons" struggled in the first half, they exploded in the second half thanks to effective substitutions by coach Kim Sang Sik. Riding on this momentum, the "Golden Star Warriors" will aim for victory at home in Viet Tri against Indonesia. This time, Kim Sang Sik promises to field his strongest players. Quang Hai, Tuan Hai, and Van Vi, after coming on as substitutes in the previous match, have made a strong impression and are highly likely to start. Furthermore, Nguyen Filip, Viet Anh, Thanh Long, and Van Thanh have had a full rest, and this is the perfect time for them to unleash their full potential. A significant advantage for the Vietnamese team is that Indonesia does not have its best squad for this year's AFF Cup, resulting in a considerable reduction in their strength. With a young squad, the Garuda only won against Myanmar by a narrow margin." Vietnam scored a minimal number of goals, then conceded three to Laos (resulting in a 3-3 draw). Shin Tae-yong's team's weakness lies in their extremely poor counter-attack defense, with players failing to support each other and leaving many gaps. Predicting the outcome of this match, Sporting News suggests Vietnam will win 3-1 against Indonesia. Meanwhile, commenting on CNN Indonesia, expert Haryanto Tri Wibowo predicts a 2-2 draw. Expert M Rizki H believes Vietnam will win 1-0. Bola suggests Indonesia might draw 1-1 against Vietnam.
