Vietnam vs Bangladesh: match preview

The national teams of Vietnam and Bangladesh are preparing for their final match in the qualification campaign for the upcoming Asian Cup. Before that, they will face each other in a friendly, after which official fixtures await them just a few days later. Notably, the qualification campaign has unfolded very differently for the two sides.

Vietnam delivered an outstanding performance in the third round of Asian Cup qualification. The team won all five of their matches, posting an aggregate score of 14:1 and finishing top of the table. However, in the match against Malaysia, Vietnam were awarded a technical victory, despite actually losing the game 0:4 on the pitch. Thanks to that decision, Vietnam secured first place and opened up a six-point gap over the Malaysians. As a result, they have already booked their place at the Asian Cup.

As for Bangladesh, they have not been as consistent in qualification as Vietnam. They beat India 1:0 in their previous match, but had failed to win prior to that. Bangladesh recorded two draws and suffered a 3:4 defeat to Hong Kong. As a result, they have five points from five matches and sit third in the group. The gap to first place stands at six points, and they no longer have any chance of reaching the Asian Cup, with only one round of fixtures remaining in the qualification campaign.

Match facts and head-to-head

• Vietnam are unbeaten in their last 18 matches.
• Vietnam are currently on an 11-game winning streak.
• Bangladesh have won just one of their last six matches.
• Bangladesh have scored in four consecutive matches.
• In the previous head-to-head meeting, Vietnam defeated Bangladesh 4:0.

Prediction

I believe Vietnam will be able to secure a win at home. Bangladesh are still a level below, so I suggest betting on Vietnam’s team total over 2.5.
