Vietnam could still be eliminated if they lose to Myanmar by two goals or more and Indonesia wins against the Philippines. Therefore, coach Kim Sang-sik will focus all his efforts on the final match of the group stage. The Korean coach needs to win but that does not mean he will rush Nguyen Xuan Son.
In attack, Nguyen Tien Linh, as vice-captain, will most likely still start in the first half. If the Vietnamese team still cannot defeat the opponent in the first 45 minutes like in previous matches, Nguyen Xuan Son will immediately be put on the field. This will be the position that attracts the most attention from fans when the Vietnamese team has a naturalized striker after 14 years.
Coach Kim Sang-sik is not in a hurry to use Xuan Son.
The Vietnamese team will still play with the familiar 3-4-2-1 formation in the past matches. With what he has shown, Nguyen Filip is still the goalkeeper in the official lineup. If he is not injured or has a penalty card, Nguyen Filip will always take Dinh Trieu's place.
Among the right-backs of the Vietnam team, Vu Van Thanh is the best and he deserves a starting position. On the opposite flank is the appearance of Nguyen Van Vi, the Vietnam team really has no other choice. Khuat Van Khang's performance has not met the requirements.
Do Duy Manh, with the captain's armband, plays left-sided center-back. Thanh Chung plays in the middle of the defense and Bui Tien Dung plays right-sided center-back. This is the most solid trio of center-backs at the moment.
In midfield, coach Kim Sang-sik has to carefully consider the situation of midfielder Doan Ngoc Tan. He has been practicing separately for the past two days despite not being injured. If Ngoc Tan is to start, he needs to be placed next to Nguyen Hoang Duc.
Up front, Nguyen Quang Hai once again starts and the opportunity for the left attacking midfielder position should be given to Pham Tuan Hai. Vi Hao and Thanh Binh are unlikely to meet the requirements.
Vietnam team meets Myanmar at 20:00 on December 21.
Expected lineup of Vietnam team: Nguyen Filip, Van Thanh, Duy Manh, Tien Dung, Thanh Chung, Van Vi, Hoang Duc, Ngoc Tan, Quang Hai, Tuan Hai, Tien Linh.
