The first leg of the 2022 AFF Championship semi-finals will take place on Friday at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta between Indonesia and Vietnam. With 10 points from its four games, the Garuda Team placed second in Group A, trailing Thailand on goal differential. 

The team of Shin Tae-yong won three times, including a 7-0 defeat of Brunei, and drew once to go to the competition’s semifinals for the second consecutive time. With 10 points from four games, Vietnam won Group B. They haven’t given up a goal yet, and they have kept a clean sheet in each of their games thus far.

Prediction

In the group rounds of the AFF Championship, nine different players scored goals for Indonesia, who have made a further statement with excellent performances.

With their frontline operating at full strength and being the most solid defensive team in the competition, Vietnam has yet to allow a goal.

Given that the second leg will take place at home, the Golden Star Warriors may use their defensive fortitude to thwart the Garuda Team once more.

It appears like a scoreless draw will occur.

Indonesia will likely defeat Vietnam 0-0.
