Today's football match preview: Vietnam vs Malaysia

The situation in Group F reversed after the AFC's penalty, causing Malaysia to drop from the top spot to 9 points, while Vietnam rose to the top with a perfect 15 points. However, the victory on paper was not enough to erase the 0-4 defeat in the first leg, leaving coach Kim Sang-sik and his team determined to reclaim their honor at Thien Truong Stadium.

The Vietnamese team is maintaining consistent form with an impressive run of matches, possessing a balanced squad of experience and youth. Meanwhile, Malaysia's strength has declined as they no longer have their naturalized players, forcing them to revert to their familiar defensive counter-attacking style of play.

Nevertheless, Malaysia's "nothing to lose" mentality could make them unpredictable. The match is therefore still expected to be tense, but home advantage and current form give Vietnam a slight edge.

Predicted score: Vietnam 2–0 Malaysia.
