If Malaysia is punished with a 0-3 loss due to the naturalization scandal, the opportunity for Vietnam to qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup will be more open. However, before waiting for the AFC's decision (which is expected to last until early 2026), coach Kim Sang Sik and his team need to decide their own fate by winning all 9 points in three matches against Nepal and Laos.

Although Nepal is not well-known in the international arena, it has some notable faces such as striker Anijan Bista (13 goals in 60 matches) or veteran goalkeeper Kumar Limbu (104 appearances for the national team). Under the leadership of Australian coach Matt Ross, they are expected to create a surprise, but in reality, Nepal is currently ranked 176th in FIFA, 62 places lower than Vietnam.

The difference in skill is clear, but to win easily, the Vietnamese team must maintain a serious attitude and avoid being subjective. A big win will not only help strengthen morale but also confirm their position in the group.
