7.35 PM

While this fixture is a rivalry, it’s been very one-sided down the years.

The two sides first met in 1995 and have played 18 matches, with Viet phái nam only winning two of them và drawing three.

Thailand won the other 13 meetings, including a 3-0 victory the last time the two sides faced in October 2015, but a lot has changed since that game at My Dinh Stadium in Ha Noi; only five Vietnamese players involved that day remain in the squad.

Viet phái nam are also undefeated in matches I"ve live blogged, as if you needed any more confidence!

7.21 PM

Viet nam are the AFF Cup 2018 champions and were quarter-finalists at the Asian Cup earlier this year. The Golden Dragons are enjoying perhaps the greatest period in their footballing history and will be keen to add another trophy to cement that legacy.

Thailand on the other hand sacked their manager at the start of this year & have yet to hire a permanent replacement, have lost half their fixtures this year & are missing star playmaker Chanathip Songkrasin through injury.

So on paper, Viet phái nam should take a win today, but football isn’t played on paper, and I’m being told by reliable sources that it is in fact played on grass.

7.15 PM

Here"s the thai team, with captain và star striker Teerasil Dangda unable to lớn start due lớn injury. Teen sensation Suphanet Muenta is on the bench.
