After the first two matches, Vietnam and Thailand both won, both have booked tickets to the semi-finals of the 2025 AFF Women's Football Championship. But Thailand temporarily leads the group thanks to a better goal difference than Vietnam.

The Vietnamese women's team must beat Thailand to be able to win the top spot in Group A. The question is, does the Vietnamese women's team need to try their best to win the top spot in the group?

That is because winning the top spot in the group will help the Vietnamese women's team avoid the top spot in group B. However, it is not clear which team will win the top spot in group B. The Philippines, U23 Australia and Myanmar are all likely to win the group and can all be eliminated. The important thing is that the Vietnamese team is not sure that facing the second-placed team will be easier than the top team.

Therefore, coach Mai Duc Chung will most likely not focus on winning or losing this match, but will mainly focus on letting his players rest and be ready to enter the semi-finals in the best physical condition.

Before this match, coach Mai Duc Chung and his team have superior statistics compared to their opponent Thailand.

In the last 5 times they faced each other, the Vietnamese women's team had 4 wins and 1 draw. The last time the two teams met was in the final of SEA Games 31, the Vietnamese women's team also won 1-0 with the only goal by Huynh Nhu.
