Who will be the opponents of Coach Park Hang Seo and his team in the round of 16?
(Baonghean.vn) - According to the knockout round bracket, the first team in group D will face the third team in one of the three groups B/E/F, and the second team in group D will face the first team in group E. The fact that Olympic Malaysia unexpectedly beat Olympic Korea and finished first in this group makes it unnecessary to "avoid" Olympic Korea.
The final match against Olympic Japan will determine the first and second place of Olympic Vietnam in group D. Let's calculate the opponents of coach Park Hang Seo and his team in the round of 16 with Nghe An electronic newspaper.
If Vietnam Olympic ranked first in group D
This situation happens when we win against Japan in the last match, then coach Park Hang Seo and his team will meet the 3rd ranked team, respectively in group B/E or F.
Group B Ranking
STT | Phone | ST | TT | TH | TB | BT | BB | HS | DS |
1 | Uzbekistan | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 9 | 0 | +9 | 6 |
2 | Thailand | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 |
3 | Bangladesh | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 4 | -3 | 1 |
4 | Qatar | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 7 | -6 | 1 |
- In Group B, Uzbekistan is currently certain to be at the top, the remaining direct ticket has a chance to be divided equally between Thailand (2 points), Bangladesh (1 point) and Qatar (1 point). In terms of current strength and force, Thailand is considered to be better among the 3 teams. However, their last match was against Uzbekistan, so winning is not easy. To get a ticket to continue in 2nd place, Thailand must beat Uzbekistan, then Vietnam's opponent will be Bangladesh or Qatar if they meet the conditions (the condition is that 1/4 of the 3rd ranked teams have the best results). The chance is considered to be 15%.

However, if the Golden Temple team draws or loses to Uzbekistan, and the remaining match between Bangladesh and Qatar has a winner, then the Thai Olympic team will fall to 3rd place and they will be the opponent of the Vietnamese Olympic team in the round of 16 if qualified. The opportunity is assessed at 10%.
Group E Ranking
STT | Phone | ST | TT | TH | TB | BT | BB | HS | DS |
1 | Malaysia | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 2 | +3 | 6 |
2 | Korea | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 7 | 2 | +5 | 3 |
3 | Kyrgyzstan | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 5 | -2 | 1 |
4 | Bahrain | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 8 | -6 | 1 |
- If the 3rd team in Group B is not qualified to be selected, the 3rd team in Group E will be the opponent of Olympic Vietnam. Considering the current ranking of Group E, in theory, Korea can also fall to 3rd place. However, in the last match, Korea only met the 'underdog' team Kyrgyzstan, so they almost cannot be pushed down to 3rd place. After this loss, the coaching staff will definitely adjust their tactics.

In the remaining match, Bahrain is also rated lower than Malaysia, so they have almost no chance of winning a direct ticket. Thus, the opponent of Olympic Vietnam will most likely be Kyrgyzstan or Bahrain if they qualify. The chance is assessed at 10%.
Group F Ranking
STT | Phone | ST | TT | TH | TB | BT | BB | HS | DS |
1 | Iran | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 0 | +3 | 4 |
2 | Saudi Arabia | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 0 | +3 | 4 |
3 | Chosen | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 4 | -3 | 1 |
4 | Myanmar | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 4 | -3 | 1 |
- In case the third-placed team in Group B and E are both ineligible to be selected, the third-placed team in Group F will be the opponent of Olympic Vietnam. Looking at the table situation, in theory, any team can fall to 3rd place. However, the possibility of Iran and Saudi Arabia falling in rank is almost impossible, because in terms of strength, they are really superior to the remaining teams. At that time, Olympic Vietnam's opponent will beMyanmar or North Korea.The opportunity is assessed at 5%
Vietnam Olympic ranked second in group D
This situation happened when we lost the last match to Japan, the next opponent of coach Park Hang Seo and his team in the round of 16 is the team that won group E.
Group E Ranking
STT | Phone | ST | TT | TH | TB | BT | BB | HS | DS |
1 | Malaysia | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 2 | +3 | 6 |
2 | Korea | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 7 | 2 | +5 | 3 |
3 | Kyrgyzstan | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 5 | -2 | 1 |
4 | Bahrain | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 8 | -6 | 1 |
In Group E, Olympic Malaysia is leading with 6 points, followed by South Korea (3 points), Kyrgyzstan (1 point) and Bahrain (1 point). With the current situation, Malaysiahave secured the top spot, so they will be Vietnam's opponent. According to our assessment, this is a 60% chance of happening.
