Vietnam vs Thailand women's team (4:30 p.m. today): Win against a fateful opponent?

(Dan Tri) - The Vietnamese women's team will meet Thailand again in the third-place match at the 2025 Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship. Once again, coach Mai Duc Chung's team is rated higher than their opponents.

*The third-place match between the Vietnamese and Thai women's teams will take place at 4:30 p.m. this afternoon (August 19), at Lach Tray Stadium ( Hai Phong ). Dan Tri will report this match live.

In this year’s tournament, the Vietnamese women’s team defeated the Thai women’s team 1-0 in the group stage on August 12. Compared to their opponents, coach Mai Duc Chung’s team is considered to be the better team.

The Vietnamese players are better than their opponents in terms of technique and ball control. The strikers of the team under coach Mai Duc Chung are also considered sharper than their opponents.

The biggest problem for the Vietnamese women's football team before the third-place match this afternoon is the physical and mental strength of the players. It is unclear how the physical strength of the Vietnamese women's football team is after the tense match with the physically strong U23 Australia team in the semi-finals.

In addition, it is unclear whether the spirit of the Vietnamese women's players has recovered from the shock in the semi-finals. Therefore, physical and mental recovery is the top priority of the Vietnamese women's football team at present.

As for the Thai women's team, they also faced similar problems as the Vietnamese women's football team. The spirit of the Thai women's players after losing to Myanmar in the semi-finals was also not good.

Thai media revealed that the Thai women's team is hoping that the girls will quickly regain their spirits in the Land of the Golden Pagoda, for the upcoming third-place match.

That is the reason why whichever team keeps better spirit and more stamina in the third place match this afternoon will have the advantage.

Hopefully, the Hai Phong audience will continue to be a source of motivation to help the Vietnamese female players have more determination and energy to compete well in the third place match. Hopefully, the audience will continue to come to the stadium in large numbers to create a vibrant atmosphere, giving more strength to Huynh Nhu and her teammates.

Another win against Thailand in this year's tournament will create momentum for the Vietnamese women's players heading towards the 33rd SEA Games campaign, taking place later this year.

Prediction: Vietnam women's team wins Thailand 2-1.
