India vs Vietnam at AFC Women's Asian Cup: Sweety Devi and co. eye positive start in tough fixture The Indian women's football team, led by captain Sweety Devi, will be looking to make a positive start in their AFC Women's Asian Cup campaign when they face off against Vietnam on Thursday. The match is part of Group A, which also includes China and Iran. Despite being considered one of the favourites to win the tournament, India have had a patchy buildup to the competition, with injuries to key players like captain Sweety Devi and midfielder Durga Dé. However, coach Thomas Dennerby remains optimistic about his team's chances, citing their impressive performance in the recent friendlies against Japan. "We've worked hard on our set-pieces and defensive solidity, and we're confident that these areas will be crucial to our success," said Dennerby. "The girls are excited to get going, and I believe we have a good chance of getting three points from this game." Vietnam, meanwhile, will be looking to cause an upset against the fancied Indian team. The Southeast Asian nation has made significant strides in women's football in recent years, and their coach Mai Hiền has been working tirelessly to get his team ready for the big stage. "We're not taking India lightly," said Hiền. "They have some talented players, but we've prepared well and are confident that we can give them a good game." The Indian team will be relying heavily on their star player, Barbra Denver, who has been in excellent form lately. The 22-year-old striker has scored several crucial goals for the team in recent friendlies, and her pace and finishing ability make her a threat to any defense.
