Vietnam vs Philippines Head-to-Head History: We Won All in a Decade

Vietnam vs Philippines confrontation history

The history of confrontations between Vietnam and the Philippines has witnessed the complete dominance of the Vietnamese team. In the last 5 encounters, Vietnam has won all the matches against opponents from Southeast Asia. Since the AFF Cup 2010 until now, the Philippines has not been able to defeat Vietnam despite being reinforced with many quality naturalized players.

Most recently, Vietnam defeated the Philippines 3-2 in an international friendly in June 2024. Before that, a 2-0 away win in November 2023 further affirmed the superiority of the “Golden Star Warriors.” These results show the gap in class between the two teams, although the Philippines always tries to shorten the gap.

Last 5 matches record

The Philippines entered this match with many worries, having only earned 2 points after two disappointing draws against Laos and Myanmar. A lack of sharpness in the attack and a lack of cohesion in the playing style made it difficult for coach Kristensen Bjorn Martin’s team to convert their chances into goals. Despite having 82% possession against Laos, they still had to share the points 1-1 and even scored an own goal.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team is in good form with 6 absolute points after two matches. The victory over Indonesia and Laos has brought great confidence to coach Kim Sang Sik and his team. Although the performance is not really convincing when still stuck in scoring, the class and bravery are still the differences between the Vietnamese team and their opponents.

Comments on the match Vietnam vs Philippines

Although history is on the side of the Vietnamese team, coach Kim Sang Sik and his team cannot be complacent. The Philippines are in a desperate situation and will play with the highest determination to win points. In particular, the home field advantage will give them more motivation, although in reality this team has not shown the necessary danger in attack.

Coach Kim Sang Sik will need to diversify his playing style and make the most of the breakthrough ability of individuals like Van Toan, Quang Hai and Tuan Hai. Controlling the ball and scoring early will help the Vietnamese team avoid fierce resistance from the opponent. At the same time, the defense must also maintain concentration and avoid making unnecessary mistakes.

Philippines vs Vietnam score prediction

With a history of overwhelming confrontation and better form, Vietnam is rated higher in this match. If they play to their full potential and maintain sharpness in finishing, coach Kim Sang Sik and his team can completely win all 3 points to get closer to the ticket to the semi-finals. However, the Philippines certainly will not give up easily, and this promises to be a challenging match for the Vietnamese team.
