Pre-match information
The Vietnamese men's volleyball team did not start well in the first phase of the 2025 SEA V.League when they suffered a 0-3 defeat to the Philippines. In that match, coach Tran Dinh Tien's students did not play at their best despite playing with the strongest squad.
Ngoc Thuan and his teammates revealed many weaknesses from serving the ball, adjusting the first step to attack. In particular, during the final period, the Vietnamese men's volleyball team often cannot maintain a stable performance to maintain the lead.
After the defeat against the home team, the Vietnamese players will enter the second match of the first leg against Cambodia. This is a rookie team of this year's tournament.
Cambodia is still in the process of rejuvenation and has not left much of an impression in the regional arena. If they play at their best, Vietnam is likely to easily win to create momentum for the next matches.
However, although Cambodia has not been ranked in the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB), they are the current runners-up of the 2023 SEA Games. Therefore, the Vietnamese men's volleyball team needs to be very careful with this opponent.
