"It should be remembered that, under coach Shin Tae-yong, the Indonesian team has never won and has not scored any goals in the last 4 meetings with their Southeast Asian rival, the Vietnamese team," BolaTimes pointed out.
Coach Shin Tae-yong has led the Indonesian team since December 2019, has never won against the Vietnamese team and has not scored any goals.
"This is a huge challenge for coach Shin Tae-yong to change his situation every time he faces the Vietnamese team. President of the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI), Mr. Erick Thohir, also determined that if coach Shin Tae-yong leads the Indonesian team to overcome the Vietnamese team and complete the goal of getting a ticket to the round of 16 of the 2023 Asian Cup, he will immediately promote the contract extension until 2027," BolaTimes expressed.
In the last 4 matches against the Vietnamese team, the Indonesian team under coach Shin Tae-yong lost 0-4 on June 7, 2021 in the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia. They drew 2 matches with the same score of 0-0 including in the group stage of the 2020 AFF Cup (played in December 2021) and the first leg of the 2022 AFF Cup semi-finals (played in January 2023), before losing 0-2 in the second leg.
"This poor performance of the Indonesian team against the Vietnamese team is creating a lot of pressure on coach Shin Tae-yong and the players. However, they will be a bit more confident because they only drew and lost 4 matches, without scoring any goals, all under coach Park Hang-seo.
The current Vietnamese team led by French coach Philippe Troussier has many differences, including a squad of mostly new, young players, but is also very worrying. The Vietnamese team's match in which they lost to Japan 2-4, but at one point led 2-1, showed that the strength of this regional opponent is still maintained, even more worrying," BolaTimes shared.

"Both the Indonesian and Vietnamese teams consider the upcoming match at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar, as the most crucial match that will determine whether or not they will advance to the 2023 Asian Cup.
Therefore, will history repeat itself with the advantage continuing to lean towards the Vietnamese team (only wins and draws recently), or will the Indonesian team change its history? Everyone will also wait for the confrontation between coach Park Hang-seo and Philippe Troussier, a tense match worthy of being a Southeast Asian derby in the continental arena," BolaTimes affirmed.
