In a situation where only the group winners can advance, coach Mai Duc Chung's players are in control when they meet Guam. The Vietnamese women's team is currently leading Group E with 6 points and a goal difference of +13, while Guam is in second place with 4 points and a goal difference of +3. Huynh Nhu and her teammates only need a draw to secure a ticket to the finals.
Don't be subjective.
In theory, the Vietnamese women's team (ranked 37th in the world ) is also rated higher than Guam (ranked 97th). However, because they are rated higher, the Vietnamese women's team must be more cautious. There is no sure scenario in football, and the Vietnamese girls will have to concentrate if they do not want to face surprises. A draw is a big advantage, but it can also easily cause the players to have a perfectionist attitude, which should not happen in a "final" match.
On the other side of the front line, the Guam women's team opened the qualifying round with a 0-0 draw with the UAE, before defeating the Maldives 3-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Rebecca Bartosh. This striker is the biggest hope for the team led by coach Kim Sherman. With 4 points in hand, Guam must beat Vietnam to win the group. With no way back, they will definitely put all their strength into this decisive match. If Guam scores early, they can completely make the match more tense.
Evaluating the opponent in the final match, coach Mai Duc Chung said: "I have watched Guam. Guam players are in good physical condition. Therefore, the Vietnamese women's team needs to coordinate their attacks more closely, improve their passing ability, and at the same time, quickly approach and compete fiercely to recover the ball.
The Vietnamese women’s team is not lacking in experience in key matches like this. Experienced players like Huynh Nhu, Chuong Thi Kieu, Duong Thi Van… are used to the pressure and will know how to control the situation. In addition, the brilliance of young players like Ngan Thi Van Su and Ngoc Minh Chuyen will also bring about a breakthrough in the playing style.
The important thing is that the Vietnamese women's team needs to take the initiative and score early to relieve the pressure. When they have the advantage of leading, the Vietnamese girls can easily deploy the game as they wish. The midfield still plays a key role in penetrating Guam's defense system. In addition, the Vietnamese women's team's defense also needs to be vigilant against dangerous striker Rebecca Bartosh. In particular, the Vietnamese women's team needs to make the most of the opportunities created.
