In the first leg on October 9, although Vietnam won 3-1 against Nepal, it did not satisfy experts and fans. Against an opponent that was not highly rated, the home team still made mistakes in defense, and the attack was stuck, even when playing with one more player.
However, after learning many lessons and making necessary adjustments, coach Kim Sang Sik and his team are confident of doing better in the second leg, both in terms of results and playing style.
According to coach Kim Sang Sik , in the next match Nepal will almost certainly retreat deep to defend, so he requires the attacking players to move well, coordinate well and need to finish more accurately.

Unlike the first leg, when playing safely, the Vietnamese team can increase the speed and put pressure on the opponent in the rematch at Thong Nhat Stadium. With a higher level and home field advantage, Tien Linh and his teammates can completely control the game and create many opportunities.
In addition to personnel adjustments, the Vietnamese team focused on set pieces and coordination. The home team created pressure throughout the 90 minutes of the match, aiming to break down Nepal's defense system.
To increase surprise and refresh the gameplay, coach Kim Sang Sik can use a few U23 players in the starting lineup, instead of all veterans in the first leg.
In defense, Trung Kien is ready to replace senior Dang Van Lam, while Hieu Minh can also be given a chance when Bui Tien Dung is injured.
Above, notable faces of U23 such as Xuan Bac, Van Khang, Thanh Nhan, Dinh Bac can be in the usage plan of coach Kim Sang Sik. The Vietnam team wants to maintain the intensity of continuous attacks and really needs youth.

Overall, the Vietnamese team is expected to have an easier match than the first leg as they understand their opponents better and overcome their own problems. A match in which coach Kim Sang Sik and his team not only aim for 3 points, but also must win beautifully to bring positive signals for the future.
The match between Vietnam and Nepal will kick off at 7:30 p.m. on October 14 at Thong Nhat Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City.
Expected lineup of Vietnam team : Trung Kien, Tien Anh, Xuan Manh, Duy Manh, Van Vi, Quang Vinh, Hoang Duc, Hai Long, Dinh Bac, Tien Linh, Tuan Hai
