This is an important match for coach Kim Sang Sik and his team, as the Vietnamese team needs to win to maintain their chances of competing for a spot in the continental finals.
Fans can watch the match live onFPT Play platforms, VTV5 channel and VFF Channel.
Currently, the Vietnamese team is ranked second in Group F with 3 points, after beating Laos 5-0 and losing to Malaysia 0-4. The match against Nepal is considered an opportunity for the whole team to regain their form and accumulate important points on the rankings.
Under the leadership of coach Kim Sang Sik, the Vietnamese team is in a period of transformation with a combination of experienced pillars such as Hoang Duc, Tuan Hai, Duc Chien, Van Lam and promising young players such as Van Khang, Xuan Bac, Thanh Nhan, Dinh Bac.
Meanwhile, Nepal brought to Vietnam a young squad, many players aged U23 and U20 under the guidance of coach Matt Ross. Despite limited experience, Nepal still showed a tenacious fighting spirit, determination and is in the process of rebuilding towards the future.
According to the FIFA rankings, Nepal is currently ranked 176th in the world , 62 places below Vietnam, and the squad value is only about 1.5 million Euros, one-third of the Vietnam team. However, they still have some notable individuals such as striker Anja Bista - who scored 13 goals for the national team, and veteran Rohit Chand - the most experienced player in Nepalese football with 97 appearances for the team.
Nepal’s recent form has been erratic, with surprise wins against Afghanistan and Singapore and heavy defeats against Tajikistan, Malaysia and Laos showing they are still a team in the process of being perfected, but with the potential to cause surprises if opponents are complacent.
On the other hand, the Vietnamese team entered the match with home field advantage and careful preparation. The three goalkeepers, Dang Van Lam, Van Viet and Trung Kien, all had stable performance, bringing peace of mind to the defense. The attack was led by striker Nguyen Tien Linh with great determination.
Notably, both the first and second leg matches against Nepal were held in Ho Chi Minh City, as the away team chose Thong Nhat Stadium as their home ground. This gives the Vietnamese team an advantage in terms of travel, playing conditions and audience support.
