No surprise if Vietnam team loses

" The Vietnam team is a good team and if we lose it won't be surprising. They play at home and that's an advantage.

However, during the 90 minutes, the outcome is unpredictable. This is an important match for Palestine to prepare for international matches, so we will play our best, " said Mr. Makram Dabboub.

The Vietnamese team will play a friendly match with the Palestinian team tomorrow, September 11. This is the only friendly match in the September training session of coach Philippe Troussier and his team.

Palestine coach highly appreciates Vietnam team.

On the FIFA rankings, the Vietnamese team is ranked one place above the Palestinian team. Therefore, the match promises to be an even match for both sides.

" The Vietnamese team has made great strides in recent years. Under new coach Troussier, I watched their two friendly matches with Hong Kong (China) and Syria. As for the Palestinian team, we are not only preparing for this match but also for the upcoming matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers ," Mr. Dabboub assessed.

The Palestine head coach added that the Vietnamese players always play well and show team spirit every time they take the field. At the same time, the players will have an additional advantage when playing at home.

Palestine's squad includes striker Oday Dabbagh, who plays in Belgium. However, he is unlikely to play as he is recovering from an injury.

" This is a match where I give new players a chance to aim for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers ," said Mr. Dabboub.

The match between Vietnam and Palestine will take place at 7:30 p.m. on September 11 at Thien Truong Stadium, Nam Dinh City.
