Having correctly predicted a draw in the first leg between Vietnam and Malaysia, coach Nguyen Duc Thang continues to believe that we will continue to draw with goals tonight.

“We had a favorable result away from home, so the Malaysian team will definitely enter the match with strong morale. As long as we keep a clean sheet in the first half, the possibility of winning will be very high,” said coach Duc Thang.

Before the decisive match, anything can happen, but as long as our players play focused, there will be a chance to score. In particular, there is a high possibility that the players will score from set pieces.

Commenting on the Nghe An players participating in the Vietnam national team, coach Duc Thang put his trust in Trong Hoang and Que Ngoc Hai, who are experienced and play with great courage.

“Cong Phuong will be brought in in the second half when the opposing team is tired. His unpredictable and tricky passing will cause Malaysia a lot of trouble and if he is lucky, Cong Phuong will score a goal of his own,” said coach Duc Thang.

Coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh: Vietnam won 2-1

Coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh said that the Vietnamese team has more advantages than their opponents. In the second leg, we will have tens of thousands of fans cheering us on. Therefore, as long as we play with concentration, we will win.

Regarding today's match, since the Malaysian team has lost by 2 goals, Coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh is sure that they will attack right from the start of the match. Therefore, we should play a defensive counter-attack strategy, but we should not be too passive to let the opponent dominate the game.

In the second half, when the Malaysian players were weaker, it was an opportunity for the Vietnamese team. But that does not mean we should be complacent, all players must play with concentration, if we are even a little careless, we will have to pay the price.

However, coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh also needs to pay attention to our two away goals. Both goals came from set pieces, from fouls too close to the 16m50 area.

"In any case, we are still at an advantage. As long as the Vietnamese team plays at their best and recovers their fitness before the second leg, the championship cup is still within our reach," said coach Thanh Vinh.

Based on the above analysis, coach Nguyen Thanh Vinh predicts we will win with a score of 2 - 1.
