World press predicts the result of the match between Vietnam and Uzbekistan

(Dan Tri) - Many newspapers around the world unexpectedly predicted that the Vietnamese team will win against Uzbekistan in a friendly match in Dalian (China) at 7:35 p.m. today (October 13).

A few days ago, the Vietnamese team suffered a 0-2 defeat against the Chinese team. It was the first defeat for Coach Troussier during his time leading the Vietnamese team. Before that, he helped the "Golden Dragons" win three consecutive victories against Hong Kong (China), Syria and Palestine.

Even after losing to China, the Vietnamese team still received confidence before the match with strong opponent Uzbekistan. Many newspapers around the world believe in the ability of the "Golden Star Warriors" to win.

Sportskeeda (India) commented: "Although the Vietnamese team just lost to the Chinese team, that is not a reason to underestimate this team. Before that, the "Golden Dragons" had won three consecutive matches.

Meanwhile, Uzbekistan have yet to recover from their 0-1 defeat to Iran in the Central Asian Cup final. They then lost to the US and drew with Mexico. Notably, in the match against Vietnam, coach Srecko Katanec was unable to call on key striker Eldor Shomurodov, who has scored 37 goals in 67 games for Uzbekistan.

Although in the past, the Vietnamese team always lost to Uzbekistan, at this point, they are not necessarily weaker than their opponents. Winning against the Central Asian team is a feasible task for coach Troussier's team."

Sport Mole (UK) estimates that Vietnam has a 45.01% chance of winning, while Uzbekistan has a 28.26% chance of winning. The possibility of a draw is 26.73%. Finally, Sport Mole predicts that Vietnam will win 1-0 against Uzbekistan.

Another British newspaper, Score 24, believes that the match will not be a goal-filled affair due to the tight play of both teams. They predict that the two teams will leave the field with a 1-1 draw.

Mantra Sukabum (Indonesia) commented: "The match with Uzbekistan is of great significance to the Vietnamese team. It took place at a time when the "Golden Star Warriors" had just lost to China. It was a match in which the Vietnamese team did not play too badly but were careless and let the opponent score two goals. Coach Troussier affirmed that he was still satisfied with the team's playing style.

Therefore, the match against Uzbekistan is a great opportunity for the Vietnamese team to test their strength. Although the Central Asian team has not won in the last three matches, that was when they met strong opponents such as Iran, the US, and Mexico.

This is a match where both coaches use the 3-4-2-1 formation. The playing styles of the two teams are quite similar. That makes the match potentially very tense."

Mantra Sukabum newspaper predicts that the Vietnamese team will draw 1-1 with Uzbekistan.

Another Indonesian newspaper, Tribunnews, hopes that Vietnam will create a resistance after the loss to China. Therefore, they predict that Vietnam will win 1-0.
