Comments on the match between the Philippines team and the Vietnam team

In the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia, the Philippines will face Vietnam at home at Rizal Memorial Stadium. The match is expected to be very dramatic, but victory is leaning towards the away team.

The Philippines team is playing quite well with an unbeaten record in 3/5 recent matches. They have a squad with many naturalized players and this is also an important factor affecting their playing style. However, their professional quality is not very impressive when the attack is not really effective, and the defense makes too many mistakes leading to goals conceded.

Considered the weakest in Group F when in the same group with stronger names, and in this match, although playing at home, the Philippines team has to face a much stronger team, Vietnam. It is very difficult for them to make a surprise.

On the other side of the field, the Vietnamese team is still having problems in their playing style, lacking clarity in approaching the opponent's goal and finishing. However, these are just experiments of the new coach to aim for important tournaments and the 2026 World Cup, the golden star warriors are quite determined.

This is definitely the time for Philippe Troussier to put out his best players and Vietnam will probably play better. Their opponent in this match is also just a fairly strong Philippines team and the Vietnam team can completely overcome the difficulties successfully in this away match.

In all competitions, including friendly matches, in the last 5 clashes between the two teams, Vietnam has won. So in the upcoming match, Coach Troussier's team promises to continue to defeat their opponents once again and bring joy to the fans.
