Thailand on average have scored the most goals in the tournament, but Vietnam are not far behind with a 2.33% goalscoring rate.

Vietnam v Thailand Match Prediction – Preview
Vietnam
Vietnam made their return to the AFF Championship final after four years by beating Indonesia 2-0 on aggregate in the two-legged semi-final. After the two sides battled to a goalless draw in Jakarta, it took just 3 minutes for Nguyen Tien Linh to score the opener in Hanoi. The Viet escaped defenders Jordi Amat and Rizky Ridho and shot past keeper Nadeo Argawinata for the Golden Star Warriors’ first semi-final goal. Heated exchanges between the Vietnamese and the Indonesians dominated the uneventful first half, and after the break Tien Linh netted once more as he fired from a Hung Dung delivery to knock out the Garuda from the competition. Manager Park Hang-seo extends his tenure with the Viets as a result, with the ultimate goal of bringing back the cup home in sight.
Thailand
Thailand is one step closer to retaining the Cup after they came back from a loss in the semi-final first leg to beat Malaysia 3-1 on aggregate at the Thammasat Stadium. Despite incurring their first loss in the tournament, a 0-1 result in Kuala Lumpur, the War Elephants proved at the Thammasat that they were still the team to beat. Nineteen minutes into the match, AFF Cup all-time leading scorer Teerasil Dangda headed home Theerathon Bunmathan‘s cross to level the aggregate score. After the break, Bordin Phala swept in Ekanit Panya‘s assist for a 2-1 lead in the semis. Substitute Adisak Kraisorn drove the final nail into the Harimau Malaya’s coffin, as he netted after the ball initially hit the post. Mano Polking‘s side now have the opportunity to get revenge from the 2008 final wherein the Golden Star Warriors saw off the Thais 3-2 on aggregate.
Vietnam v Thailand Match Prediction – Final Thoughts
In a fitting final, the two most dominant teams in the tournament will face off against each other. Thailand have shown why they are defending champions, but they have shown cracks in the armor, especially in away fixtures such as those with Indonesia and Malaysia. And while Vietnam are not as heavy on the attack as the Thais, the defence has been impeccable with Dang Van Lam not yet conceding one goal. So, in a tight first leg, we pick the Golden Star Warriors to prevail at home. Let’s take a look at our prediction.
