Vietnam - India Team: Opportunity to assert oneself for new factors

* PRE-MATCH PREDICTIONS

Vietnam will face India, who are currently ranked 126th in the FIFA rankings, 10 places lower than Kim Sang-sik and his team. In their most recent meeting, Vietnam won 3-0 at Thong Nhat Stadium. India is on a 10-match winless streak, showing inconsistent form. The upcoming match promises to be an opportunity for Vietnam to prove its strength.

Obviously, the Vietnamese team is still rated higher. That is why Mr. Kim did not take risks with key players like Nguyen Tien Linh and Bui Hoang Viet Anh. These two players have almost fully recovered from back and knee injuries but were not selected to play in the starting lineup. It is likely that Tien Linh and Viet Anh will be put on the field in the second half to get a good feeling of playing. This is also an opportunity for the Korean strategist to give opportunities to new players.

In addition to familiar faces including Nguyen Filip, Que Ngoc Hai, Nguyen Thanh Chung, Nguyen Thanh Binh, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Van Toan, the remaining players need to try their best.

To Van Vu, Chau Ngoc Quang and Le Pham Thanh Long need to score points against coach Kim Sang-sik.

In the right-back position, the Vietnamese team has not yet found the most worthy person. Vu Van Thanh has not regained his best form, Pham Xuan Manh is not good at attacking, Ho Tan Tai is absent, so this will be To Van Vu's "time". On the opposite side, when Phan Tuan Tai and Doan Van Hau are not called, Nguyen Phong Hong Duy will have to try his best. In the midfield, Chau Ngoc Quang and Le Pham Thanh Long need to bring their club form to the Vietnamese team. In attack, Bui Vi Hao must continue to show a positive face like in the recent past.

In addition to the task of expressing themselves, they also need to make efforts for the team. Over the past two years, the Vietnamese team has not been in good form, losing 10 of the last 13 matches. This has affected the players' confidence. Therefore, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team need an exciting match to come back stronger. Now is the right time to do that. The match between the Vietnamese team and India will take place at 6 p.m. on October 12 at Thien Truong Stadium.
