In this match, the Thai women's team is rated higher, but they must be really wary of the opponent who caused a surprise in the opening match of Group A when they defeated the Philippines (a team participating in this year's World Cup and just beat Vietnam in the final round of the group stage).
Thai women's team determined to reach the final
Coach Narupon Kaenson of the Thai women's team himself had to speak up about Myanmar's two strengths: "Myanmar has made a leap forward compared to previous regional tournaments. They have changed quite a lot in both their playing style and are led by a Japanese coach. Therefore, this is a match where we cannot underestimate our opponents because in the semi-finals we have to be in good shape to get the results we want. We want to reach the final so we have prepared for this match as best we can."

The Thai women's team coach then assessed the factors they need to beat Myanmar. That is, they must overcome the modern style of play of the Myanmar women's team when they are built from the back and maintain a very good rhythm, so Thailand must limit mistakes to reduce the opponent's opportunities.

Meanwhile, Thailand women's team captain Nipawan Panyosuk promised that facing Myanmar will be a real challenge. Moreover, there are many players in the Myanmar women's team who will play in the Thai league. "We have studied the information of all the teams. I think we have some understanding of the Myanmar players who are playing in our league. We will try to correct the mistakes through each match," Nipawan Panyosuk said.
In the last two meetings last year, the Thai women's team did not easily overcome Myanmar, winning 1 and drawing. In addition, another strength of the Myanmar women's team is the discipline in the playing style and spirit instilled by Japanese coach Tetsuro Uki.
