Pre-match information
The Vietnamese national team will return to play in the 3rd match of the ASEAN Cup 2026 when they host Singapore at My Dinh Stadium. After the opening match winning heavily against Timor Leste 7-0, coach Kim Sang-sik's team has more than 1 week to recover their fitness.
This period also helps the coaching staff adjust tactics before an important match. The current Vietnamese team's force ensures troop numbers with an optimal squad.
This will also be the first official match of the Vietnamese team at My Dinh Stadium after more than two years. The return of the "Golden Star Warriors" at the national stadium is expected to attract a large number of spectators, creating a spiritual advantage in the confrontation with direct competitors.
On the other side, Singapore is temporarily leading Group A with 6 points after two victories against Cambodia and Timor Leste. Despite achieving a perfect record, coach Gavin Lee's team has not shown superiority in playing style. The attack still missed many opportunities, while the defense system at many times revealed gaps against lower-rated opponents.
Statistics show that since 1998, the Singapore team has not been able to beat Vietnam in all tournaments. Therefore, the Vietnam team is aiming for the goal of winning all 3 points to gain an advantage in the race to win a ticket to the semi-finals of ASEAN Cup 2026.
