Live stream link for Vietnam National Team vs. UAE National Team: An opportunity to change history.
Trung Kien - November 14, 2019, 4:10 PM
(Baonghean.vn) – Tonight (November 14th) at My Dinh Stadium, the Vietnamese national team will host the UAE national team in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. This is not only an opportunity for Vietnamese football to rise to the top of the group and change the history of their head-to-head encounters, but also to help the Vietnamese national team make significant progress in the FIFA rankings.
The match will take place at 8 PM at My Dinh Stadium.
In Group G of the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers, the Vietnamese national team is currently in second place with 7 points after 3 matches, level with the leading team Thailand and one point ahead of the third-placed team UAE.
Coach Bert van Marwijk desperately needs a win after the 1-2 defeat away to Thailand in the previous match. Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team has a great opportunity to move into first place when Thailand plays Malaysia.
Historically, this West Asian team has shown considerable superiority over the representative from Southeast Asia. Since 2002, the UAE and Vietnam national teams have faced each other a total of 6 times. Of those, the team from the Middle East has won 4 times.

While the Vietnamese national team has only enjoyed the full joy of victory once, that was in the group stage of the 2007 Asian Cup. The Vietnamese team impressively defeated their opponents 2-0 with goals from Quang Thanh and Cong Vinh.
However, in this encounter, the Vietnamese national team is in a different position. Vietnamese football is ranked 97th in the world and reached the quarter-finals of the 2019 Asian Cup. The recent achievements of coach Park Hang-seo's team also create confidence and hope for a victory at My Dinh Stadium.
The last time we faced the UAE was in the bronze medal match of the 2018 Asian Games. Coach Park Hang-seo's team drew 1-1 and lost in the penalty shootout. However, that was only at the Olympic level.

In terms of personnel, the Vietnamese national team has a fairly stable lineup with Quang Hai, Van Toan, Tien Linh, and Cong Phuong in the attacking line. In defense, Coach Park still has five of his best players at his disposal: Ngoc Hai, Duy Manh, Tien Dung, Van Hau, and Trong Hoang.
With Phan Văn Đức and Trần Đình Trọng absent due to injury, the Vietnamese national team's midfield has many suitable options such as Huy Hùng, Hùng Dũng, Tuấn Anh, and Đức Huy. In this match, it is highly likely that Tuấn Anh and Hùng Dũng will be in charge of the midfield.
On the UAE side, the visiting team will be without their key striker Ali Mabkhout, while two highly anticipated new players, Ahmed Barman and Khalil Ibrahim, are also absent due to injury.
Currently, the UAE national team has scored 8 goals and conceded 3. Meanwhile, the Vietnam national team has scored 4 goals and conceded 1 after 3 matches. One of the factors that gives Coach Park and his players confidence in this match is the very thorough and detailed preparation in terms of tactics and personnel.
