Van Quyet and Hoang Duc were not registered for the match against Iraq, Dinh Bac started instead of Tien Linh?

If nothing changes, the expected lineup of the Vietnamese team against Iraq will not have many changes compared to the match against the Philippines. Coach Troussier may keep the lineup almost the same, only replacing one position in the attack: replacing Tien Linh with Dinh Bac. In the match against the Philippines, Tien Linh did not play as expected. The author of two goals was Van Toan, Dinh Bac will start.

The expected lineup of the Vietnam team is as follows: Dang Van Lam, Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Vu Van Thanh, Nguyen Thanh Binh, Phan Tuan Tai, Vo Minh Trong, Nguyen Thai Son, Nguyen Tuan Anh (captain), Nguyen Dinh Bac, Pham Tuan Hai, Nguyen Van Toan.

Reserve players include: Dinh Trieu, Xuan Manh, Tien Dung, Ngoc Hai, Tuan Duong, Hung Dung, Van Khang, Van Viet, Tien Linh. Players Hoang Duc, Van Quyet, Van Tung, Van Toan, Van Cuong are not registered.

At the pre-match press conference, coach Troussier emphasized: "Each match is always different, depending on the opponent. Each opponent has a different playing style and my goal is to adjust accordingly to make it difficult for them. We are ready. We will do our best to achieve good results. With home field advantage, we will have the support of the fans. Hopefully we will not only play with 11 players but 30,000 - 40,000 fans, making the opponent understand that they have to face pressure from the majority of spectators at My Dinh Stadium. Hopefully the team will achieve good results."

Van Cuong (13) will most likely not be registered.

The French strategist said that he has faced Iraq many times in his coaching career. Last March, he also led the Vietnam U.23 team to compete with the Iraq U.23 team at the Doha Cup friendly tournament. "I know Iraq and their position. It can be said that Iraq is currently in the top 5 or 6 in Asia. Therefore, in theory, Iraq is rated higher than the Vietnam team. They have many experienced players, playing in Europe. They have also won the Asian championship. But I told the players to make things difficult for them. I know many people think that Vietnam is weaker, and has a higher chance of losing. But that's good, my players will enter the match with the mindset of having nothing to lose, and the desire to prove everyone wrong. The three points against the Philippines will help my players feel more confident. We will take advantage of the opportunity," said coach Philippe Troussier.
