Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
After suffering a massive 4-0 loss to Australia, Vietnam will look to give fans some cheer when they take on China in Hanoi. Park Hang-Seo’s troops are on a seven-game losing run in the final stage, and, it is no wonder the bookies see them as underdogs in Tuesday’s clash. Hang-Seo should opt to make changes to the team that faced the Socceroos, with all Nguyen Cong Phuong, Nguyen Hoang Duc, and Nguyen Thanh Chung pushing for a start.
The Dragon’s Team, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Japan. When the two teams met in Sharjah earlier in the process China defeated Vietnam 3-2, and seeing that the hosts are low on confidence following seven consecutive defeats in the World Cup qualifiers, away win should be considered. A man to watch in the away team will be Espanyol attacker Wu Lei.
