Many newspapers around the world believe in a victory for the Vietnamese team against Thailand. Sporting News (USA) commented: “Despite leading the Philippines 2-0 in the second leg of the AFF Cup semi-final after only 54 minutes of play, Thailand still needed a late goal from Suphanat Mueanta in extra time to overcome the Philippines.”

Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that the Thai team is still considered the strongest contender to win the AFF Cup 2024.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team continued their impressive form by defeating Singapore with a total score of 5-1 over two legs in the semi-finals. This impressive performance was further enhanced by the emergence of Nguyen Xuan Son since the final group stage match against Myanmar.

After just three matches, Xuan Son has scored five goals and provided two assists, rising to the top of the scoring charts. It's safe to say that Xuan Son is currently the most talented striker in the 2024 AFF Cup. The Thai national team's defense will face its biggest threat since the start of the tournament.

Thailand is considered to have superior personnel in the midfield area, allowing them to control the game more effectively. This will result in less possession for the Vietnamese team, indirectly limiting the danger posed by Nguyen Xuan Son in the penalty area.

However, it's important to remember that the match against the Philippines has drained Thailand's energy, and they then had to travel to Phu Tho for this match. Coach Ishii's team also didn't have much time to get used to the pitch. Therefore, the attacking prowess and stamina of Xuan Son and his teammates will be key to giving Vietnam an advantage over Thailand in the first leg of the 2024 AFF Cup final."

Sporting News predicts that the Vietnamese national team will win 3-1 against Thailand.

The Indonesian newspaper Bola commented: “The Vietnamese national team is very strong at home in Viet Tri. At the 2024 AFF Cup, they won all three matches at this stadium, scoring 9 goals and conceding only 1. This gives the “Golden Dragons” confidence to challenge Thailand.”

Meanwhile, Thailand has an impressive squad depth. However, their defense isn't particularly strong, having conceded 7 goals in 4 matches. The "War Elephants" urgently need to address this issue.

Another Indonesian newspaper, Football5star, predicted a 1-1 draw between the two teams . Akurat, on the other hand, predicted a 2-2 draw between Vietnam and Thailand.

Siam Sport (Thailand) was quite cautious about their team playing away at Viet Tri Stadium. They predicted a 1-1 draw.
