Vietnam vs Nepal women's football prediction: Winning the opening match

The Vietnamese women's team will start their campaign at the 19th Asian Games against the Nepalese women's team. This is not a difficult match for coach Mai Duc Chung and his team. The Vietnamese women's team has a great chance to win the opening match of the tournament, and at the same time, have some professional tests.

In the 19th ASIAD women's football, the Vietnamese women's team is in Group D with Japan, Nepal and Bangladesh. Among them, the Japanese team is considered the strongest and is likely to take the top spot.

The realistic goal for the Vietnamese team is second place. To do that, the Vietnamese women's team must defeat the other two teams and score as many goals as possible, thereby aiming for a place in the next round as one of the three best second-placed teams.

This task is within the capabilities of coach Mai Duc Chung and his students because Nepal and Bangladesh are not strong teams.

Vietnam women's team meets Nepal in the opening match of ASIAD 19.

Nepal team has the strongest squad attending ASIAD 19. However, they are not a big obstacle for Vietnam team.

The two teams faced off in the 2024 Paris Olympic qualifiers in April. On Nepal’s field, coach Mai Duc Chung and his team defeated their opponents in both matches with scores of 2-0 and 5-1. This time, the Vietnamese team needs to score as many goals as possible and try not to concede.

The Vietnamese team brought to the tournament with its main force. The team was missing two important players, Huynh Nhu and Chuong Thi Kieu. Therefore, coach Mai Duc Chung created conditions for many young players such as Pham Thi Lan Anh, Tran Thi Duyen, Nguyen Thi Truc Huong and Nguyen Thi Tuyet Ngan.

Huynh Nhu’s absence has had a significant impact on the Vietnamese women’s team. She is the most experienced and professional member of the team. However, this is also an opportunity for coach Mai Duc Chung to find new factors and solutions to gradually replace Huynh Nhu as she approaches the age of 30.

The expectation of the Vietnamese team will now be placed on the shoulders of Pham Hai Yen, Nguyen Thi Thanh Nha and Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy. They will shoulder the responsibility of scoring goals, bringing home a big win to start the 19th ASIAD smoothly.
