Comments on the match between Vietnam team vs Iraq team
In the second round of Group F of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Asia, the Vietnamese team will face the Iraqi team at My Dinh Stadium. The match is expected to be very dramatic, with a victory leaning towards the away team.
The Vietnamese team just had an opening 2-0 victory over the Philippines, helping the team temporarily stand second in the rankings. However, the Vietnamese team still lacked clarity in approaching the opponent's goal and finishing when missing some unfortunate opportunities. Coach Troussier needs to quickly find a solution before welcoming the strongest team in the group, Iraq.
In the past, the Vietnamese team has not won against Iraq. However, with the high spirit after the victory over the Philippines team, and the fact that the key players will be in good shape, fans still have the right to expect a good performance from the home team. It is very difficult to win against the Iraqi team, but a draw is not an impossible goal if Coach Troussier and his team play with a reasonable strategy.
On the other side of the field, Iraq is highly rated in Group F and is the leading candidate for a place in the next round. They just won 5-1 against Indonesia, thereby demonstrating their formidable strength. However, Iraq also revealed many gaps in their defense and they must quickly find a way to solve them if they want to advance further.
The Iraqi team is currently rated higher than the Vietnamese team, with their physical and mental strength, they will have the advantage in the upcoming match. Although they have to play away, with the current overwhelming advantage, victory is not too difficult for coach Jesus Casas and his team.
