In this rematch, 3 points are not only a must for coach Kim Sang Sik's players, but they also have to bring the audience a feast of football. In an interview with the press before the match, the Korean coach also set the goal of winning big against Nepal in this rematch.

Home fans will continue to put their faith in stars like Tien Linh, Hai Long or young faces like Dinh Bac, Thanh Nhan. Hoang Duc and Duc Chien are also expected to have the opportunity to shine together at Thong Nhat Stadium.

As for Nepal, their greatest strength is their physical strength. In the first leg, when they had 11 players on the field, the Nepalese players played quite fiercely and caused the Vietnamese team a lot of trouble.

It is expected that at least 12,000 spectators will come to Thong Nhat Stadium to cheer on the match. This is a great encouragement for the players of both teams.
