Laos - Vietnam match schedule today: History is on the side of the 'Golden Dragon Warriors'

Who was the "evil spirit" of the Laos team?

The last time the two teams Vietnam and Laos met at the Southeast Asian Football Championship was in the opening match of Group B, the 2022 tournament. That match took place at the Laos National Stadium, in Vientiane, ending with a resounding 6-0 victory for the Vietnamese team. The scorers for the Vietnamese team in the match two years ago were Nguyen Tien Linh, Do Hung Dung, Ho Tan Tai, Doan Van Hau, Nguyen Van Toan and Vu Van Thanh.

Quang Hai has scored against the Laos team in 3 clashes in the last 3 AFF Cups.

Among them, Nguyen Tien Linh, Ho Tan Tai, Nguyen Van Toan and Vu Van Thanh are named in the 26 Vietnamese players participating in the AFF Cup 2024 to reunite with the Laos team at 8:00 p.m. today (December 9).

Two years ago, the Vietnamese team won 2-0 against Laos in the opening match of Group B, AFF Cup 2020. That match took place at Bishan Stadium in Singapore. The authors of the goals for the Vietnamese team in Singapore were Nguyen Cong Phuong and Phan Van Duc. Unfortunately, the two players mentioned above will not participate in AFF Cup 2024.

At the AFF Cup 2018, the Vietnamese and Lao teams also met on the opening day of Group A, at the Laos National Stadium. As a result, the Vietnamese team defeated Laos 3-0, thanks to goals from Nguyen Cong Phuong, Nguyen Anh Duc and Nguyen Quang Hai. Of the three players who scored against Laos in 2018, Nguyen Quang Hai is still participating in the AFF Cup 2024, and is also the vice-captain of the Vietnamese team in this tournament.

Laos is weak.

That is, in the last 3 AFF Cups, the Vietnamese team met the Lao team in the opening match of both teams. In all 3 matches, the Vietnamese team won all, scoring a total of 11 goals, without conceding any. There are 5 Vietnamese players who scored against the Lao team in the 3 clashes in the last 3 AFF Cups, still wearing the Vietnamese team shirt in the 2024 AFF Cup, including Nguyen Quang Hai, Nguyen Tien Linh, Nguyen Van Toan, Ho Tan Tai and Vu Van Thanh. Each of them has scored 1 goal against the team from the land of a million elephants.

Among them, except for Ho Tan Tai, 4 players Nguyen Tien Linh, Nguyen Quang Hai, Nguyen Van Toan and Vu Van Thanh have a very high chance of officially playing in this year's AFF Cup. On the contrary, none of the players named in the current squad of the Laos team have scored against the Vietnamese team in previous AFF Cups.

The match between the home team Laos and Vietnam at 8:00 p.m. on December 9 will be broadcast on VTV5, FPT Play and reported live on thethao.thanhnien.vn.
