According to the supercomputer of Alkass Sports Channels , a famous sports media company in Qatar, all four Southeast Asian teams including Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia cannot pass the group stage to be present in the round of 16 at the 2023 Asian Cup, the tournament will take place from January 12 to February 10.

Meanwhile, Thailand will have to compete with Kyrgyzstan, Oman and Saudi Arabia in Group F to enter the knockout round.

Malaysia will have to compete with South Korea, Jordan, and Bahrain in Group E, all of whom are opponents of a higher level than the "Malayan Tigers".

According to Qatar's supercomputer, Japan is predicted to win the Asian Cup for the fifth time. The "Samurai Blue" is expected to meet Iran in the final of the tournament and coach Hajime Moriyasu's team will win.

In the group stage of the 2023 Asian Cup, the Vietnamese team will have their opening match against Japan. This is considered a very difficult match for coach Philippe Troussier and his team as the "land of the rising sun" team has many stars playing in Europe in their squad.

"All Vietnamese players are playing domestically, so it's difficult for them to make big strides in their skills. Meanwhile, the Japanese team has many players playing in Europe. However, I believe that with the ability and talent of the Vietnamese players, along with their confidence, they can solve many problems," said coach Troussier ahead of the opening match on January 14.
