Direct link Vietnam National Team - UAE National Team: Opportunity to change history

The match takes place at 8:00 p.m. at My Dinh Stadium.

In Group G - 2022 World Cup Qualifiers, Vietnam National Team is currently in second place with 7 points after 3 matches, equal in points with the top team Thailand and 1 point ahead of the third-placed team UAE.

Coach Bert van Marwijk is in dire need of a win after losing 1-2 to Thailand in the previous match. Meanwhile, Vietnam has a great chance to move up to first place when Thailand meets Malaysia.

In the history of confrontation, this West Asian team has shown to be quite superior to the representative from Southeast Asia. Since 2002 until now, the UAE and Vietnam teams have met each other a total of 6 times. Of those, the representative from the Middle East won 4 victories.

Meanwhile, the Vietnam team only once enjoyed the joy of victory. That match took place in the group stage of the 2007 Asian Cup. The Vietnam team had excellently defeated the opponent with a score of 2-0 with goals from Quang Thanh and Cong Vinh.

However, in this confrontation, the Vietnam team was in a different position. Vietnam football is ranked 97th on the rankings and has reached the quarter-finals of the 2019 Asian Cup. The recent achievements of coach Park Hang-seo and his team have also created confidence to nurture the hope of victory at My Dinh.

The last time we faced UAE was in the 2018 Asian Games Bronze Medal match. Coach Park Hang-seo and his team drew 1-1 and lost in the penalty shootout. However, that was only at the Olympic level.

Regarding the force situation, the Vietnam National Team has a fairly stable squad with the appearance of Quang Hai, Van Toan, Tien Linh, and Cong Phuong in the attack line. In the defense line, Coach Park still has the 5 best players in his hands: Ngoc Hai, Duy Manh, Tien Dung, Van Hau, and Trong Hoang.

If Phan Van Duc and Tran Dinh Trong are absent due to injury, the midfield of the Vietnam national team has many satisfactory options such as Huy Hung, Hung Dung, Tuan Anh, Duc Huy. In this match, Tuan Anh and Hung Dung will most likely take charge of the midfield.

On the UAE side, the away team will not have the services of key striker Ali Mabkhout. Meanwhile, two highly anticipated new players, Ahmed Barman and Khalil Ibrahim, are also absent due to injury.

Currently, the UAE team has scored 8 goals and conceded 3 goals. Meanwhile, the Vietnam team has scored 4 goals and conceded 1 goal after 3 matches. One of the factors that helps coach Park and his students feel confident in this match is the very careful and detailed preparation in terms of tactics and personnel.
