The match is part of the second round of Group F of the 2027 Asian Cup Final Qualifiers, taking place on June 10. The result could decide the ticket to the next round for coach Kim Sang-sik and his team, as Malaysia is considered the biggest opponent.
To prepare, the Vietnamese team recently gathered in Hanoi with a series of the best faces, notably the return of striker Nguyen Cong Phuong or new faces like Jason Quang Vinh.
Before the meeting between the two sides, Malaysian media highly appreciated the leadership skills of coach Kim Sang-sik. The New Straits Times predicted that Malaysia would face the biggest difficulty ever when facing Kim Sang-sik, who is good at "commanding troops and generals". The newspaper cited the victory of the ASEAN All Stars team against Manchester United (MU) on May 28 at Bukit Jalil.

The result of the match with Malaysia is decisive for the Vietnamese team's chance to win a ticket to the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup. |
Despite only a short gathering and missing many big names, the Southeast Asian All-Stars team was still well organized and defeated MU. The newspaper also noted that in the above match, Vietnam contributed 4 stars including Hoang Duc, Van Vi, Hai Long and Duy Manh. These are factors that Malaysia will have to be wary of in the upcoming confrontation.
Heading into the match against Malaysia, coach Kim Sang-sik is facing difficulties due to many injuries. In addition to Xuan Son and Van Toan, who were absent earlier, the Vietnamese team also has some players such as Cong Phuong, Dinh Trieu, and Duc Chien who have physical problems.
According to plan, on June 6, the Vietnamese team will leave for Malaysia.
