For readers' convenience, we will provide detailed updates and results of the Vietnam vs Nepal match through this article.
On the evening of October 9, the Vietnam national team will play their third match in the Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers by hosting Nepal at Go Dau Stadium (Binh Duong). Facing a much lower-ranked opponent, coach Kim Sang Sik’s squad aims for a victory to build momentum for the upcoming stages.
After assembling, the Vietnam team has trained for five days in Binh Duong to finalize preparations. The entire squad quickly adapted to the pitch, weather conditions, and training pace under the guidance of coach Kim Sang Sik.
Initially, players Bui Tien Dung and Nguyen Duc Chien experienced some fitness issues but have since resumed regular training with the team. Nevertheless, the Korean coach still has many quality alternatives, especially with the inclusion of young U23 Vietnamese players eager to prove themselves in the national team jersey.
On the other side, the Nepal national team had only a few days to prepare after arriving in Vietnam. The South Asian squad brought mostly domestic league players, many of whom are young and have limited international experience.
Historically, Nepalese football has not made a significant impact in Asia. They currently rank outside the top 170 on the FIFA rankings and often struggle against higher-level opponents. However, with nothing to lose, the South Asian side could still pose some challenges if Vietnam plays carelessly.
Given the clear skill gap, this match is seen as an opportunity for coach Kim Sang Sik to test tactics and individual form. He is likely to give chances to young players or those who rarely played under the previous coach, aiming to discover suitable talents for the next phase.
Besides aiming for victory, the Vietnam team also seeks to maintain cohesion in their playstyle, especially in attack, where fans expect new highlights from the Korean coach’s philosophy.
