Vietnam vs Indonesia Prediction
Both teams played the first leg cautiously, with chances being at a premium. More urgency and goal-mouth action can be expected in the return, as it's the decider.
Vietnam have been the most defensively solid team in the Championship and will rely on their strong backline once more to reach the final. Indonesia, meanwhile, are away from home and could feel vulnerable but have shown resolve many a times during the tournament. It will be close contest once again, but expect the Golden Star Warriors to prevail.
