Vietnam vs Cambodia Head-to-head history: We win all the time

Vietnam vs Cambodia Head to Head History

Head-to-head history shows that the Vietnamese team completely dominates Cambodia. In the last 5 encounters, our team won all, scoring a total of 16 goals and only conceding 2. Big wins like 5-0 (in 2017) or 4-0 (in 2021) show the difference in level between the two teams.

Despite Cambodia’s efforts to improve its football in recent years, it has not been able to close the gap with the strong teams in the region. In fact, they are only rated higher than some weak teams such as Brunei, Timor Leste and Laos. Therefore, the history of confrontation continues to be in our team’s favor, and the possibility of Cambodia creating a surprise is very low.

Comments on Vietnam team's performance in the last 5 matches

Vietnam is in extremely impressive form with a series of 5 consecutive wins. The most notable of which are the two consecutive victories against Thailand, helping our team successfully defend the AFF Cup 2024 championship. In addition, the big wins against Myanmar (5-0) and Singapore (3-1) show that the attack is operating very effectively, while the defense is also increasingly solid.

Not only are they in good form, the Vietnamese team also has home field advantage in this match. The entire team has spent a week training in Binh Duong, helping the players gradually adapt to the weather conditions and reach their best physical condition. In addition, coach Kim Sang-sik also has all the important cards in hand, as the squad has no players with serious injuries.

The team’s goal is not only to win, but also to demonstrate a coherent and convincing style of play against an underdog. The audience not only expects the team to win, but also expects a performance worthy of the Southeast Asian champions. This is also an important step for Vietnam to prepare for the opening match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers against Laos.

Comments on the performance of the Cambodian team in the last 5 matches

Cambodia’s recent form has not been very good. They have only won 1 of their last 5 matches, a 2-1 win over Timor Leste – a weak team in the region. Meanwhile, Cambodia has suffered 3 defeats against Thailand (2-3), U23 Qatar (1-2) and Singapore (1-2), along with a 2-2 draw against Malaysia.

Although Cambodia has called up 23 of its strongest players, including many quality naturalized players such as Kanmo, Takaki Ose, Abdel Kader Coulibaly, Yudai Ogawa and Nick Taylor, they are still missing key central defender Hikaru Mizuno. This will be a weakness that the Vietnamese team can exploit.

Although the team from the land of pagodas has ambitions to rise in Southeast Asia, in reality they are still only ranked 4th in Group A of the AFF Cup 2024. With the current force, Cambodia's goal is not to win against Vietnam, but to have a "watchable" match, avoiding a heavy loss.

Football commentary

With home advantage, excellent form and superior squad, the Vietnamese team is rated much higher than Cambodia. A victory is almost certain for coach Kim Sang-sik and his team. However, the important thing is not only the score, but also the way the team shows the style of play and the demeanor of a Southeast Asian champion. If we make good use of the opportunity, our team can absolutely create an impressive victory to satisfy the fans and create favorable momentum before entering the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.
