With the current situation of Group E, the Vietnamese women's team is in control of their ticket to the biggest tournament in Asia for women. Accordingly, Huynh Nhu and her teammates only need a draw against Guam to win the ticket. Thus, in case of a win (with 9 points), or a draw (with 7 points), the Vietnamese women's team will continue as group winners.
On the other hand, the Guam women's team has no choice but to beat Vietnam. If this happens, Guam will rise to the top of Group E with 7 points and advance to the finals, while Vietnam will only have 6 points and be eliminated.
