Vietnam meets Thailand again

Exactly 1 week ago in Vinh Phuc, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team faced the Thai women's volleyball team in the final round of stage 1 and had a very good match. Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen and her teammates played on par with the world's 14th ranked team, taking a 2-1 lead but regrettably losing 2-3.

In this rematch, Thailand has the home field advantage and still maintains the strongest lineup while the Vietnamese women's volleyball team does not have spiker Tran Thi Thanh Thuy. The opponent also grasped the effective new factors that coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet used in the previous match such as Vi Thi Nhu Quynh and fast striker Nguyen Thi Trinh. Therefore, the Vietnamese women's volleyball team is expected to bring out the best of each position on the field, especially captain Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen maintaining high form to "tear apart" the opponent's defense.

The Vietnamese women's team is eager to defeat the Thai team for the first time. The skill gap has been narrowed, but coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet admits that the opponent is still better than us. It is likely that the Vietnamese volleyball team will prioritize using experienced players such as Bich Tuyen, Lam Oanh, Khanh Dang, Nguyen Thi Trinh, Tu Linh, Kieu Trinh in the starting lineup against Thailand.

The "final" match between the Vietnamese women's volleyball team and the Thai women's volleyball team will take place at 6 p.m. today and will be broadcast live on VTVCab channels and platforms such as On Sports News, On Sports, ON, ON Plus applications or on the Vietnam Volleyball YouTube channel (Live viewing link: https://www.youtube.com/@kenhbongchuyenvietnam/streams).
