With a 7-0 victory over Maldives and a 6-0 victory over UAE, the Vietnamese women's team leads Group E, 2 points ahead of Guam. Coach Mai Duc Chung and his team only need a draw against their opponents in the final round of the group stage to secure a ticket to the 2026 Asian Cup finals, but the home team wants to do more than that.

“I have watched Guam play, they have good physical strength. The Vietnamese women's team needs to coordinate quickly and play short balls to overcome the opponent's strength,” coach Mai Duc Chung assessed.

With the advantage of playing at home and having a stronger squad, the Vietnamese women's team only needs to play at their best to win. On the world rankings, the Vietnamese women's team is ranked 37th, while Guam is ranked 97th, reflecting the difference in ability between the two teams. Of course, this is a match that Huynh Nhu and her teammates cannot be complacent about, because the opponent still has a chance to continue.

Compared to UAE and Maldives, Guam women's team is rated higher and can cause difficulties for coach Mai Duc Chung's team. However, the home team is ready to play a dedicated match, and the important thing is to win to continue in the continental playground.

The Vietnam vs Guam women's team match will take place at 7:00 pm on July 5 at Viet Tri Stadium ( Phu Tho ).
