The Vietnamese team is undefeated in 5 matches against Myanmar.

Coach Park Hang Seo and his team have every reason to be confident ahead of the decisive match for the top spot in Group A of the 2018 AFF Cup tomorrow afternoon, because historically, the Vietnamese national team has an unbeaten streak of five matches against the Myanmar national team in the Southeast Asian football tournament.

In their first encounter at the 1996 Tiger Cup, the Vietnamese national team easily won 4-1 thanks to goals from Huu Dang, Huynh Duc, Cong Minh, and Hong Son.

In 2002, the two teams were in Group A and faced each other in the final match. In that game, despite falling behind, the red-shirted team ultimately won 4-2. The goalscorers for the Vietnamese national team were Xuan Thanh, Huynh Duc, and Dang Phuong Nam, who scored a brace each.

In their opening match of the 2010 AFF Cup, the Vietnamese national team achieved an incredible 7-1 victory over Myanmar. Two players who are still currently playing for the Vietnamese national team, Anh Đức and Trọng Hoàng, each scored a brace. The remaining three goals were scored by Minh Phương, Tấn Tài, and Vũ Phong.

The only time the Myanmar national team earned a point against Vietnam was in the 2012 AFF Cup. In the opening match of Group A, striker Kyi Lin's penalty in the 53rd minute leveled the score at 1-1 after midfielder Tan Tai had opened the scoring for Vietnam in the 34th minute.

In the most recent AFF Cup two years ago, despite playing at home, the Myanmar national team still came away empty-handed in their match against Vietnam. Striker Aung Thu scored the only goal for the home team in the 73rd minute. Meanwhile, the visiting team had two goalscorers: Van Quyet (24th minute) and Cong Vinh (80th minute).

Thus, in the 5 previous encounters with the Myanmar national team in the AFF Cup, the Vietnamese national team has won 4 matches, drawn 1, and lost none.

This time, riding high on momentum after their 2-0 victory against Malaysia in the previous match, will Coach Park Hang Seo's team extend their unbeaten streak against Myanmar to six matches?

18-6 The Vietnamese national team has scored 18 goals against the Myanmar national team in recent AFF Cup tournaments, while only conceding 6. It seems a jinx continues to haunt the Myanmar team, preventing them from ever winning three consecutive group stage matches in the AFF Cup. Therefore, after their two victories against Laos and Cambodia, Myanmar fans are worried that even playing at home, Aung Thu and his teammates will struggle to secure three points against Vietnam.
