Vietnam Women's vs Thailand Women's Form

In Group A, the Vietnamese and Thai women's teams both demonstrated superior strength compared to the Indonesian and Cambodian women's teams.

After two matches, Thailand women are leading with 6 points and a goal difference of +14. Meanwhile, Vietnam women's team is right behind with the same number of points but has scored 1 goal less (+13).

Although they have secured a ticket to the semi-finals, the match between the two sides on the evening of August 12 will determine first and second place in the group.

In the context of Group B having many variables, it is difficult to predict whether Myanmar women, Philippines women or Australia women (U23) will win tickets to continue, the confrontation between Vietnam women and Thailand women becomes a bit less meaningful.

Simply because it is difficult for both sides to determine a specific opponent in the next round to come up with reasonable countermeasures. However, the battle on Lach Tray field has not lost its heat because of that. Vietnamese and Thai women's football have always been considered as big rivals in the region.

But overall, the Vietnamese women's team is still considered to be superior. Because in addition to the home field advantage, with the cheers of thousands of fans in the stands, coach Mai Duc Chung and his team also possess impressive head-to-head statistics.

Over the past decade, since the 2016 Southeast Asian Women's Championship, Vietnamese and Thai women's football teams have faced each other 10 times. The Vietnamese women's team has the advantage with 4 wins, 5 draws and only 1 loss. In the last 2 meetings, in the Asian Cup qualifiers and SEA Games 2021, Huynh Nhu and her teammates won all of them and kept a clean sheet.

After 2 matches, despite winning big, the Vietnamese women's team still could not satisfy coach Mai Duc Chung. In particular, the 1951-born strategist mentioned many times in press conferences that his players' ability to take advantage of opportunities was not good.

If they want to beat Thailand to take the top spot, Vietnam's women will need to improve their output for opportunities.

Not to mention, Chuong Thi Kieu and her teammates in the back line must also maintain high concentration. Because compared to the two matches where they had to "hang in a hammock" on their home field, the challenge in the next 90 minutes will be much greater.

The Thai women's team also has some weaknesses, but overall the finishing ability of the girls from the Land of the Golden Temple is quite diverse and impressive.

The Vietnamese women’s defense will have to pay special attention to naturalized striker Madison Casteen and his partner Janista Jinantuya. The two players are currently among the top scorers in the tournament with 3 and 4 goals respectively.
