The Vietnam team will kick off the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup of Group F with a match against Laos. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will certainly aim for a victory, even defeating their opponents with a large score.
The Laos team is an opponent that has lost 13 matches to the Vietnamese team and drawn 1 time in the entire period from 1996 to present. Most recently, at the 2024 ASEAN Cup, the "Golden Star Warriors" also defeated Laos with a score of 4-1 before winning the Southeast Asian championship.
Compared to the 2024 ASEAN Cup, the Laos team has not changed much. Basically, the Laos team still relies on the core of players who have participated in this tournament. Therefore, victory in the upcoming match can be considered within reach of the Vietnam team.
However, fans certainly have more expectations for the home team's performance. Before that, the Vietnamese team had a friendly victory with a score of 2-1 against a not-so-strength opponent, the Cambodian team. Many shortcomings and incomplete experiments have caused coach Kim Sang-sik to receive mixed opinions.
Therefore, in the match against Laos, Tien Linh and the strikers on the attack line need to take advantage of every opportunity. To score many goals, Hoang Duc, Van Thanh, Hai Long or Van Vi need to solve the problem of how to have a good enough pass to create opportunities for Tien Linh in the 16m50 range.
The Vietnamese team will enter the match with a high determination. A big win is necessary to satisfy the fans.
The match between the Vietnamese and Lao teams will take place at 7:30 p.m. on March 25 at Binh Duong Stadium, live on FPT Play.
