Prediction & Strategy for Vietnam vs. Philippines | June 6, 2024
On Thursday at My Dinh National Stadium,
Vietnam vs Philippines will resume play in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. In this midweek match, both teams—who have had difficulty moving on in Group F—will be trying to regain their footing.
At My Dinh National Stadium on March 26,
Vietnam lost 3-0 to Indonesia and was once again left empty-handed.
In every competition since their 2-0 triumph over the Philippines in November 2023, Kim Sang-sik’s team has suffered seven straight losses. On Thursday, Vietnam will, nevertheless, prepare to take on their adversaries, against whom they have won all five of their meetings since November 2014.
Like the hosts, the Philippines lost badly against Iraq 5-0 last time out as they were unable to establish themselves. With just one point out of a possible 12, Tom Saintfiet’s team is at the bottom of Group F after going five games without a victory across all competitions.
The Philippines’ bad run of play and lack of attacking ability are related; since defeating Afghanistan 2-1 in September 2023, they have only scored one goal in their last five games.
