The Lions opened their campaign with a 3-2 defeat of Myanmar followed by a 2-0 win over Laos. However, with Malaysia playing a game more, Takayuki Nishigaya's side are in third place in Group B, with Vietnam leading the pack on goal difference. There were 18 previous clashes between the two teams, with Vietnam winning seven and losing four. The game play of the Lions has been a pretty defensive to-date, relying on counters. They undoubtedly faces their biggest challenge in AFF cup in tournament favorites Vietnam. Singapore will be aiming at least a draw which will put them in good position when they head to Bukit Jalil Stadium to face Malaysia.

狮子队以3-2击败缅甸队，然后以2-0战胜老挝队开始了他们的比赛。然而，由于马来西亚多踢了一场比赛，西屋孝之的球队在B组排名第三，越南以净胜球领先。两队此前有过18次交锋，越南7胜4负。到目前为止，狮子队的比赛一直是相当防守的，依靠反击。毫无疑问，他们在AFF杯上面临着最大的挑战，比赛热门越南。新加坡将至少争取一场平局，这将使他们在前往武吉贾利勒体育场对阵马来西亚时处于有利地位。
