However, it is a difficult task for Singapore when they face an opponent who is playing very well. In the group stage, coach Kim Sang Sik's team scored 11 goals. "The Golden Star Warriors" started the tournament with a 4-1 victory over Laos. They then continued to defeat Indonesia. The Vietnamese team drew 1-1 with the Philippines in the third match.

Sporting News commented: "In the group stage of the AFF Cup 2024, Singapore's performance was not very impressive. They overcame Cambodia thanks to their opponents' mistakes, were deadlocked against Timor Leste for 3/4 of the match, lost 2-4 to Thailand despite leading by 2 goals and drew with Malaysia in the final round. It can be said that Singapore won the second place in Group A because the remaining teams played much worse than them. Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team also did not show much after the first three matches of the group stage. However, the appearance of Nguyen Xuan Son in the final match against Myanmar helped the Vietnamese team completely overwhelm their opponents and score 5 goals. With Nguyen Xuan Son in the attack, Vietnam has many options to threaten the opponent's goal and this will be an extremely difficult challenge for Singapore's defense. However, the Vietnamese team still has a weakness, which is that they do not know how to score in the first half. This is something that Coach Kim Sang Sik needs to overcome this, because scoring early can help the Vietnamese team easily deploy other tactics in the rest of the match. Singapore is no longer as strong as when they used naturalized players in the past. They are also not highly rated at the 2024 AFF Cup. However, the artificial turf of Jalan Besar Stadium can somewhat limit the playing style of Vietnamese players. Therefore, the Vietnamese team will have a hard time if they want to win this match." Sporting News predicts that the Vietnamese team will win 2-1 against Singapore. Indonesian media also pay special attention to the match between the Vietnamese team and Singapore. Bola predicts that the Vietnamese team will win 2-1. Football5star also believes that coach Kim Sang Sik's team will win 2-1. Akurat predicts a 1-0 victory for the Vietnamese team.
