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

(Dan Tri) - Many newspapers around the world have predicted the result of the match between Vietnam and Laos taking place at 7:00 p.m. today (November 19) in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

A day after Malaysia won 1-0 against Nepal in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, the Vietnamese team entered the match against Laos in Vientiane hoping to win to keep up with the "Tigers".

Before this match, the Vietnamese team had been widened the gap to 6 points by Malaysia. Therefore, coach Kim Sang Sik's team had to win against Laos, before waiting for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to punish Malaysia for the fraudulent naturalization case.

Many newspapers around the world also believe in the possibility of the Vietnamese team winning against Laos. Sportskeeda (India) commented: “The Vietnamese team is 6 points behind Malaysia with two matches left to play.

Therefore, coach Kim Sang Sik's team needs to win against Laos, before waiting for the decisive match with Malaysia in the last round. Currently, the Vietnamese team is ranked 111th in the world, completely superior to Laos (188th).

In this match, the Vietnamese team also welcomed the return of an important player, Xuan Son. The Brazilian striker scored 7 goals in 5 appearances at the AFF Cup, helping the “Golden Star Warriors” win the championship.

Laos entered this match with no goals left. They only had 3 points after 4 matches and no chance of qualifying for the 2027 Asian Cup. Laos' only bright spot was a 2-1 win over Nepal.

In the past, this pair has been quite evenly matched. In 15 encounters, the Vietnamese team has won 14 times. The only time Laos avoided defeat against the “Golden Dragons” was in the 1996 Tiger Cup (1-1 draw). The Vietnamese team has scored at least 4 goals against Laos in 3/4 recent confrontations, including a 5-0 victory in the first leg.

The Vietnamese team can aim for an easy win in this match, just like how they defeated Laos in recent years.”

Sportskeeda predicts Vietnam will win 3-0 against Laos.

The Tribunnews (Indonesia) newspaper emphasized: “The Golden Star Warriors have no other choice but to defeat Laos to compete with Malaysia for a ticket to the 2027 Asian Cup. Being left far behind by Malaysia with a gap of 6 points creates a big challenge for the Vietnamese team.

The appearance of Xuan Son is a valuable addition to the Vietnamese team. This player promises to help increase the attacking ability of the "Golden Dragons". Meanwhile, Laos is at a much lower level than the Vietnamese team. It is very difficult for the team from the land of a million elephants to create a surprise.

Tribunnews predicts that the Vietnamese team will defeat Laos with a score of 4-0.

Another Indonesian newspaper, Sultra, predicted that the Vietnamese team would win 2-0 or 3-1 against Laos . Meanwhile, Pikiran-rakyat predicted that the team of Coach Kim Sang Sik won 3-0 against Laos .
