Vietnam vs Thailand Prediction and Betting Tips | 2nd January 2025

Vietnam host Thailand at the Việt Trì Stadium on Thursday for the first leg of their clash in the 2024 ASEAN Championship finals. The return leg is scheduled for Sunday in Bangkok.

Having gone their entire campaign unbeaten, the Golden Star Warriors are the favorites to be crowned champions. They waltzed through their group with three wins and a draw, before seeing off Singapore in the last-four.

Kim Sang-sik's side won the first leg 2-0 after netting twice in stoppage time. In the second leg, they completed the double with a 3-1 victory on home turf and cantered into the finals by clinching the tie 5-1 on aggregate.

Boasting a menacing frontline, Vietnam will undoubtedly give the War Elephants a tough run for their money too, as they aim to end their ASEAN hegemony after three editions.

Winners in 2020 and 2022, Thailand are into yet another finals, but face their toughest challenge yet. After romping through the group stages with four wins from four, they lost 2-1 to the Philippines in the first leg of their semi-final clash. However, the side turned the tie around in the return leg to win 3-1 and progress into the finals.

They've been the most prolific side in the competition, lighting it up with their sensational offensive play. With Vietnam also firing on all cylinders, this one promises to be a cracker.
