Vietnam vs Cambodia score prediction: The team wins big
The friendly match between Vietnam and Cambodia at Go Dau Stadium is not only a test of the squad before the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers but also an opportunity for our team to affirm its strength.
With home ground advantage, impressive form and superior squad quality, Vietnam is aiming for a convincing victory against an underdog opponent.
Big difference between the two teams
Head-to-head history shows that Cambodia is completely inferior to Vietnam. In the last 5 meetings, our team won all, scoring 16 goals and only conceding 2. Big wins such as 5-0 (2017), 4-0 (2021) are clear evidence of the difference in level between the two teams.
Not only is Vietnam superior in terms of head-to-head record, its current form is also impressive. The team is on a 5-match winning streak, including two consecutive victories against Thailand in the 2024 AFF Cup final. Meanwhile, Cambodia has only won 1 of its last 5 matches, and has had to accept defeat against not-so-strong opponents such as Singapore or U23 Qatar.
Vietnam's form and strength
Vietnam entered this match with almost the strongest squad. After a week of training in Binh Duong, the players' physical condition has improved significantly, and there have been no serious injuries. Under the guidance of coach Kim Sang-sik, our team is playing more and more stably, with a solid and effective style of play.
Vietnam’s goal is not only to win but also to show sharpness in their playing style. The players need to take advantage of their opportunities better, because besides the score, fans also want to witness a convincing performance from the team.
Can Cambodia surprise?
Cambodia brought to Vietnam a squad of many quality naturalized players such as Kanmo, Takaki Ose, Abdel Kader Coulibaly, Yudai Ogawa and Nick Taylor. However, they are missing key central defender Hikaru Mizuno, which could greatly affect the defensive ability of the team from the land of the pagodas.
Despite recent improvements, Cambodia is still only rated higher than some of the weakest teams in the region such as Brunei, Timor Leste or Laos. At the AFF Cup 2024, they only finished 4th in Group A, unable to go far. Cambodia's defense is still a major weakness, having conceded 10 goals in the last 5 matches.
With the above factors, although Cambodia can cause some difficulties thanks to their determination, the possibility of them holding out against Vietnam for 90 minutes is very low.
Predict the match score
With home advantage, high form and superior force, Vietnam is expected to win with a big score difference. If the strikers make good use of the opportunity, our team can completely repeat the big victories like before.
Score prediction: Vietnam 3-0 Cambodia or Vietnam 4-1 Cambodia
Vietnam will likely control the game from the start and create many scoring opportunities. Cambodia can defend in numbers, but with an unstable defense, they will find it difficult to withstand the pressure from the home team.
With the difference in class, a big win for Vietnam is almost certain. The question is not whether our team will win or not, but by what score and how they will play to satisfy the fans.
