The Vietnamese team has many advantages before the match against Cambodia at home. Coach Kim Sang-sik's team only needs a draw to definitely win a ticket to the semi-finals.
However, the defending champion does not want to take risks. Victory is the ultimate goal for the Vietnamese team to advance with the top spot in Group A, and at the same time give a gift to the fans when playing at My Dinh home stadium.
Before the match, coach Kim Sang-sik showed respect for the opponent when he said he would use the strongest squad. Indeed, he chose the starting players Dinh Bac, Quang Hai, Van Vi or Xuan Manh, Hoang Duc, Patrik Le Giang.
The Vietnamese team will have about 1 week to recover their fitness and prepare for the semi-finals, so there is no fear that the players will be overloaded. Xuan Son, Hoang Hen, Tai Loc... are still other effective attacking options.
