In that context, many newspapers around the world chose Japan to win this match. Sport Mole (UK) commented: "Japan is the highest ranked Asian team on the FIFA rankings. They also have many stars playing in Europe. Therefore, the "Blue Samurai" are highly appreciated in the race to win the 2023 Asian Cup championship.

In 2023, Japan lost just one match. They won against Germany, Canada and Türkiye. In total, the team from the Land of the Rising Sun has won 10 consecutive matches.

The Vietnamese team made a splash when they reached the quarter-finals of the 2019 Asian Cup and the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup. However, they have not achieved any significant results under coach Troussier. The Vietnamese team has lost 5/6 recent matches. Most recently, they lost to Kyrgyzstan."

Commenting on the match result, Sport Mole wrote: "Japan has a squad that can challenge any team in the world. Although many people are waiting for an exciting match, this match can be one-sided. Japan will have an easy victory."

Sport Mole predicts Japan will win 3-0 against Vietnam.

Sportskeeda (India) also has an opinion about Japan. This newspaper wrote: "Japan is showing terrible form with 10 consecutive wins. In which, they have continuously won Thailand (5-0), Jordan (6-1) in matches in early 2024.

The Vietnamese team was eliminated by Japan in the quarter-finals of the 2019 Asian Cup. However, at this time, the "Golden Dragons" are not in as good a form as they were 5 years ago. They have lost 5/6 recent matches.

Japan showed off their formidable attack, scoring 45 goals in their last 10 matches. In addition to Kaoru Mitoma, Japan's brightest stars such as Takumi Minamino, Daizen Maeda, and Takefusa Kubo are all ready to play in this match.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team is in a serious crisis due to injuries when prominent faces such as Que Ngoc Hai, Nguyen Tien Linh, Dang Van Lam, Nguyen Thanh Chung, Nguyen Hoang Duc all said goodbye to the national team.

Sportskeeda predicts that the Vietnamese team will lose 1-4 to Japan.

Another Indian newspaper, Khel Now, even predicted that the Japanese team would win a resounding 6-0 victory over the Vietnamese team.

Bola (Indonesia) newspaper believes that the possibility of the Vietnamese team being able to score against Japan in this match is very low. They assess that the strength of the "Golden Star Warriors" has decreased significantly due to injuries to many key players.

Bola predicts a score of 3-0 in favor of Japan.

Similarly, Pikiran Rakyat (Indonesia) also predicted that Japan will win 3-0 against the Vietnamese team.
