* PRE-MATCH ANALYSIS

Losing to host nation Uzbekistan in the first match has significantly reduced the chances of Coach Mai Duc Chung's team advancing. Therefore, the Vietnamese women's national team's goal is to win against India before facing Asia's number one team, Japan, in the final match.

The Vietnamese women's team (right) needs a win to regain their morale.

The Indian women's national team is currently ranked 61st in the world , 27 places lower than the Vietnamese women's national team. However, under the guidance of coach Thomas Denerby (Sweden), the Indian women's team has shown progress with positive signs recently, most recently in their 0-7 loss to Japan in the first match of Group C.

Captain Huynh Nhu said the whole team has prepared well for the match against India, and the coaching staff has also devised a strategy to achieve the best possible result against an opponent that Vietnam has previously defeated but is now showing improvement. Midfielder Bich Thuy said she and her teammates will take to the field with the highest determination to live up to the fans' expectations.

Regarding the match against India, coach Mai Duc Chung hopes his players will overcome the defensive errors they made in the loss against Uzbekistan, focusing on accurate passing from both flanks and better utilization of opportunities. A victory would be a tribute and thank you to coach Mai Duc Chung, who will be leaving the Vietnamese women's national team after the tournament. "Everyone has talked and understood that this is the last tournament coach Mai Duc Chung will lead the Vietnamese women's national team. Therefore, we are encouraging each other to focus our best, dedicating all our spirit and concentration to playing against India and Japan to showcase the spirit of Vietnamese women," midfielder Bich Thuy shared during the training session on the afternoon of October 28th.
