Power correlation between Vietnam and Malaysia - Graphics: AN BINH
On the FIFA rankings, the Vietnam team is currently ranked 109th in the world , 22 places higher than Malaysia. This ranking partly reflects the contrasting performance of Vietnam and Malaysia in recent years. While Vietnam has achieved many successes, Malaysian football has entered a difficult period.
According to statistics from the prestigious transfer site Transfermarkt, the total value of Malaysia's squad is up to 15.38 million euros, nearly 3 times the total value of the Vietnam team (5.93 million euros).
This is not too difficult to understand when Transfermarkt calculates the total transfer value of 30 Malaysian players called up for this training session. Among them, there are many naturalized players worth millions of euros such as Facundo Garcés, João Figueiredo...
In fact, the value of the Malaysian team will decrease significantly if they finalize the list of only 23 players as stipulated before the match takes place. However, it is certain that the total value of the Malaysian team will still be higher than Vietnam's, but the gap will not be as large as at this time.
In terms of age, the Vietnamese team is the younger team but the average age is not too different. Meanwhile, the Malaysian team has an average height of 1.79m, much taller than the 1.77m of the Vietnamese team. The height advantage can help Malaysia exploit set-piece situations well.
Vietnam entered the match with Malaysia in better form with 5 consecutive wins. Malaysia, on the other hand, only won 1 of their last 5 matches, which was against Nepal in the opening match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.
In terms of head-to-head record, Vietnam completely dominates Malaysia. The two teams have met 23 times before, with Vietnam winning 15 matches. Since 2014, Malaysia has drawn and lost every time they have faced Vietnam. The voice of history will encourage the spirit of Vietnam in this confrontation.
