The Vietnamese team is in a favorable position before the last match of Group A of the ASEAN Cup 2026, but the most important goal is still to complete the qualifying conditions and maintain the top spot.
After 3 matches, the Vietnamese team has 7 points and a goal difference of +10. The 3-0 victory over Indonesia helps coach Kim Sang-sik's team take the initiative. As long as they do not lose to Cambodia, Vietnam will win a ticket to the semi-finals.
Cambodia just beat Timor-Leste 3-0, but this result is not enough to cover up the problems in difficult matches. The Angkor team once lost to Indonesia 1-5 and Singapore 1-2, conceding a total of 7 goals against two direct competitors. The ability to withstand pressure and organize defense is still a weakness that Cambodia is easily exploited.
Head-to-head history also leans towards the Vietnamese team. In the last 5 encounters, Vietnam has won all, scored 16 goals and conceded only 2 times.
With the advantage of My Dinh Stadium, the quality of the squad and the current situation, Vietnam has a basis to aim for victory. However, Mr. Kim Sang-sik still needs to calculate reasonable personnel to both ensure the top spot and maintain fitness for the semi-finals.
The match between Vietnam vs Cambodia takes place at 8:00 PM on August 7th, broadcast live on many different platforms such as FPT Play, TV360 and VTV6 channel.
