Predicted Vietnam Women's Team Lineup Against Myanmar: Will Huynh Nhu still be on the bench?

The Vietnamese women's team must win their match against Myanmar in the final round of Group B of the women's football tournament at the 33rd SEA Games. Therefore, coach Mai Duc Chung needs to field the strongest and most attacking lineup possible.

In theory, the Vietnamese women's team could advance even with a draw or a loss, provided the Philippines also lose to Malaysia. However, this is clearly unlikely. The Vietnamese women's team needs a win to secure a place in the semi-finals.

In fact, coach Mai Duc Chung and his team need a convincing 3 points with the best possible score to take the top spot in the bảng and alleviate the fans' worries. When the attacking problem becomes clear and essential, coach Mai Duc Chung will make changes.

Striker Huỳnh Như remains on the substitutes' bench.

In goal, Tran Thi Kim Thanh plays a particularly important role in preventing threats from the opponent's lightning-fast attacks. Above her will be the central defenders: Kim Yen – positioned on the left wing, Diem My in the center of the defense, and Tran Thi Thu – who is ready to return to the starting lineup.

At left back, this is where coach Mai Duc Chung needs Nguyen Thi My Anh with her explosive attacking ability. Her presence could open up new avenues for breakthroughs in attack. On the other flank, Nguyen Thi Thanh Nha remains the top choice as she continues to demonstrate many strengths.

The central midfield position welcomes the return of Tran Thi Hai Linh. The Hanoi women's team player is excellent as a center-back and also performs well as a midfielder. However, at this time, Hai Linh's youth and ability to organize the game are crucial for the Vietnamese women's national team. The midfield is also managed by Thai Thi Thao.

In the attacking line, the experienced duo of Pham Hai Yen and Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy remain the optimal starting options. When they are not effective, Van Su and Huynh Nhu are ready to step up from the bench.

Predicted lineup for the Vietnam women's national team

Goalkeeper: Tran Thi Kim Thanh;

Defenders: Nguyen Thi Kim Yen, Tran Thi Thu, Le Thi Diem My;

Midfielders: Nguyen Thi Thanh Nha, Tran Thi Hai Linh, Thai Thi Thao, Nguyen Thi My Anh;

Forwards: Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy, Pham Hai Yen.

The situation for the Vietnamese women's team is even more difficult than that of the U22 Vietnamese team in men's football. While the U22 Vietnamese team only needs a draw to advance, their female counterparts must win against Myanmar - a strong contender for the championship - to secure a place in the next round.

The difficulties came as a cruel blow to coach Mai Duc Chung and his players. Against the taller and physically superior Philippine team, the Vietnamese women's team still controlled the game, creating numerous notable moments throughout the match. However, on a day when both Pham Hai Yen and Nguyen Thi Thanh Nha lacked sharpness, opportunities slipped away from them.

In reality, the Vietnamese women's team didn't face many problems in terms of gameplay and control. The decline in form of Huynh Nhu and Hai Yen, coupled with the fact that Ngoc Minh Chuyen hasn't yet matured, is the real challenge. When the strikers haven't yet found their perfect aim, scoring goals becomes a major obstacle.

For the Vietnamese women's team, Myanmar is not as formidable as the Philippines or Australia – giants on the field. Myanmar plays in an organized manner, has impressive physical strength, but lacks a superior physique. They also don't employ an all-out attacking style. Therefore, the most important thing for the Vietnamese women's team is to capitalize on opportunities as best as possible.
