This match is very decisive for the ticket to the next round for coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team. The winner of this match will almost certainly enter the next round.

In men's football at the 19th ASIAD, the top 2 teams from 6 groups and the 4 third-placed teams with the best results from 5 groups (because group C only has 2 teams left) will qualify for the round of 16.

Therefore, to increase the chances of advancing, the Vietnam Olympic team needs to have good results in the match against the Iran Olympic team.

Before this match, the Vietnam Olympic team was temporarily leading Group B with 3 points after a 4-2 victory over Mongolia Olympic in the opening match.

Meanwhile, the Iranian Olympic team only won 1 point after holding the Saudi Arabia Olympic team to a 0-0 draw.

Before this match takes place, at 3:00 p.m., the Saudi Araia Olympic team will face the Mongolian Olympic team.

With what they showed in the match against Vietnam Olympic team, it is difficult for Mongolia Olympic team to make a surprise against Saudi Arabia Olympic team.

Also in this series, the remaining 3 representatives of Southeast Asia, Myanmar, Thailand and Indonesia, will have important matches.

In Group A, the Myanmar Olympic team will face a challenge from the host Olympic team China.

Both teams currently have 3 points after winning the opening match, so whoever wins this match will definitely have a ticket to continue.

In Group E, after a lucky draw against Bahrain, the Thai Olympic team will have to face the reigning Olympic champion South Korea.

In the opening match, Olympic Korea affirmed its superior strength with a "destructive" 9-0 victory over Olympic Kuwait, so there is little chance for Thailand to make a surprise.

The remaining Southeast Asian team, Olympic Indonesia, is the most optimistic as they only have to face Olympic Taipei (China).

If they continue to win, the Indonesian Olympic team will soon have a ticket to the knockout round of men's football at the 19th ASIAD.
