2024 AFF Cup Final Leg 1: Vietnam vs Thailand, Matched Duel in the Top Party!

Vietnam and Thailand will compete in the final of the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2024. This match is a repeat of the final of the 2022 edition.

Vietnam will host Thailand at Viet Tri Stadium, Phu Tho, on January 2 2025, at 20.00 WIB.

Vietnam has good momentum after beating Singapore 5-1 on aggregate in the semifinals. Meanwhile, Thailand met the Philippines in the semifinals and won 4-3 on aggregate.

Thailand managed to beat the Philippines in the semifinals with a dramatic goal from Suphanat Mueanta in the 116th minute.

So the meeting between Vietnam and Thailand is an equal meeting for both teams. This match will be the third time for both teams in the ASEAN Championship final. Previously, they competed in the finals in 2008 and 2022. Thailand has a good record, losing only three of 18 matches against Vietnam.

So on paper, Thailand is actually slightly superior to Vietnam, but Vietnam, which appears at home, is slightly superior.
