---------------------------------------

Will the Vietnamese team overcome Hong Kong?

At 7:30 PM on June 15th, the Vietnamese national team will face Hong Kong (China) at Lach Tray Stadium.

Notably, this also marked Troussier's debut as head coach of the Vietnamese national team.

Therefore, it's no surprise that Quang Hai and his teammates will take to the field determined to win as a gift for the French coach.

In terms of class, form, and many other factors, the Vietnamese team is considered to have the edge over their opponent.

But it's worth noting that Hong Kong has also been experiencing very rapid development in recent years.

Under coach Jorn Andersen, Hong Kong is known for its proactive style of play and willingness to engage in attacking exchanges with opponents.

However, facing an opponent of a significantly lower weight class like Vietnam, Hong Kong's goal of achieving a good result will be difficult to accomplish.

Predicted result for Vietnam vs Hong Kong: 3-1

Predicted lineup

Vietnam: Van Lam; Van Thanh, Tan Tai, Van Hau, Que Ngoc Hai, Hoang Duc, Tuan Anh, Xuan Manh, Quang Hai, Cong Phuong, Van Tung.

Hong Kong: Hing Kit, Liley Nunes, Kwun Chung, Tsz Ho, Goncalve Helio, Chun Ming, Huang Yang, Chun Lok, Sun Ming, Matthew Eliott, Pui Hin.
