After the last two matches in Group B, Palestine finished in third place with 2 points, helping Park Hang-seo and his team have more opportunities in the battle for a ticket to the 1/8 round of the 2019 Asian Cup.
On the afternoon of January 15, the Vietnamese team had an important tactical training session to prepare for the match against Yemen in the final round of the 2019 Asian Cup group stage. Coach Park arranged for striker Nguyen Cong Phuong to give way to striker Tien Linh. Meanwhile, Van Toan was replaced by Van Duc.
Meanwhile, in defense, Coach Park has many options to replace Duy Manh. Thanh Chung could be on the starting field for the first time, or Van Hau could be pulled in so Hong Duy can play on the right wing. The Korean coach has another option, Tan Tai, but this will be the last option.

With Syria's defeat to Australia in Group B, Palestine rose to third place in the rankings. This result gives the Vietnamese team more chances to enter the knockout round, because if they only win against Yemen in the final round, Coach Park Hang-seo's team will be above Palestine.
"I heard some information about Yemen's problems, their country has a lot of difficulties. I understand that it is very difficult to face them. I have analyzed the videos of their previous two matches and know that their ability to control the ball is very good. But we will be determined to get 3 points so I believe we can win."
"This is an important match for both sides, and hopefully we will play well against Vietnam. I know Vietnam is a very strong opponent, playing smoothly with the 3-5-2 formation for a long time, but Yemen is also well prepared for the match. Let's wait and see how my players will perform."
The match between Vietnam and Yemen will take place at 8:00 p.m. on January 16 (11:00 p.m. Vietnam time) at Hazza bin Zayed Stadium./.
