Scenarios for Vietnam U23 to qualify
The 2022 AFC U23 Asian Cup qualifiers consist of 11 groups. The regulations stipulate that the 11 group winners and the 4 best-performing second-placed teams will advance. In the second-placed team rankings, Bahrain U23 (3 points, goal difference +3) and Iran U23 (3 points, goal difference +2) are currently sharing the top two positions despite having played only one match.
Vietnam U23 currently has 3 points and a goal difference of +1 after their win against Taiwan. Facing Myanmar, the chances of Vietnam U23 securing enough points and a good enough goal difference to compete for second place are not high. Therefore, defeating Myanmar and finishing first in the group is the safest path for Coach Park Hang-seo's team.

Myanmar U23 will face Taiwan on October 30th. There are three possible outcomes.
In the second scenario, if Myanmar wins 1-0 against Taiwan, Vietnam U23 and Myanmar U23 will have equal points and goal difference. The winner of the subsequent match will advance. The direct confrontation between Vietnam U23 and Myanmar U23 will have to have a winner and a loser, and a penalty shootout may be needed to determine the result.
In scenario three, if Myanmar wins against Taiwan 2-1 or by a more favorable score, they only need to avoid losing to Vietnam to qualify for the next round.
In summary, the hard-fought victory against Taiwan has left the Vietnam U23 team with little advantage in both their match against Myanmar and in the battle for second place. Therefore, defeating Myanmar in the match on November 2nd is the safest option for Hai Long and his teammates.
