Record of the last 5 matches of Vietnam vs Myanmar

Vietnam

The Vietnamese team has been maintaining a stable performance recently. Coach Kim Sang Sik's players just had a 1-1 draw against the Philippines in a difficult match, but before that had impressive victories against Indonesia (1-0) and Laos (4-1). However, the draw against the Philippines and the defeat against Thailand (1-2) made fans feel worried about the team's attacking ability.

In fact, Vietnam’s recent matches have not shown sharpness in their attacking play. Although still the strongest team in the group, Vietnam needs to improve their defense and take advantage of opportunities when facing Myanmar – a team that is not easy to underestimate.

Myanmar

On the other side of the front line, Myanmar just had a surprising 3-2 victory over Laos, raising their total score to 4 points and rising to third place in Group B, equal with Indonesia in terms of points and goal difference. However, Myanmar is still considered much weaker than Vietnam in terms of strength.

Myanmar’s form can be said to be unstable. They lost to Indonesia (0-1) and suffered defeats against Singapore (1-3) and Lebanon (2-3). However, with the victory over Laos, Myanmar is full of determination and hopes to get points against Vietnam, to continue to nurture the hope of reaching the semi-finals.

Comments on the match Vietnam vs Myanmar

Although Myanmar is in a rather erratic form, the team’s ability to create surprises cannot be underestimated, especially when they really need a win to compete for a ticket to the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Vietnam, with its strong squad and home field advantage, is still considered to be the better team.

However, the Vietnamese team needs to improve their attacking ability, especially in taking advantage of the opportunities created. If they continue to be stuck like in the match against the Philippines, they may have trouble against a determined Myanmar. In addition, solid defense and not allowing the opponent to score is the decisive factor for Vietnam to win.

Vietnam’s strength is its balanced squad, especially with the presence of naturalized player Nguyen Xuan Son – a factor that can create a breakthrough in the match. Myanmar will have to be wary of Vietnam’s attacks, but if the home team cannot improve their sharpness, Myanmar can completely create a difficult match.

Score prediction: Vietnam 2-0 Myanmar

With home advantage and a strong squad, Vietnam are still expected to win. However, Myanmar will not be easy to beat, and this match could be quite tense. The prediction is Vietnam 2-0 Myanmar, with the home team able to make the most of their scoring opportunities and defend well to take all 3 points.
