Vietnam vs Saudi Arabia

Vietnam and Saudi Arabia go head-to-head in an exciting 2022 World Cup qualifying encounter at the My Dinh National Stadium.

Vietnam’s hopes of reaching their first-ever World Cup finals have faded after a horrific start to their third-round group stage campaign (L5). Though they sit bottom of Group B, the hosts have shown they can put up a fight, falling to a single-goal margin in three of their last four World Cup qualifying defeats. The clean-sheet theme has highlighted Vietnam’s World Cup qualifiers on home soil as all of the last six have seen one or both sides fail to get on the scoresheet, with four of them yielding the identical 1-0 scoreline (W3, D1, L2). After losing their previous three World Cup qualifying H2Hs by at least a two-goal margin, the ‘Golden Star Warriors’ already look like a doomed outfit here.

In the meantime, a goalless away draw with Australia last time out halted Saudi Arabia’s four-match winning start to their third-round qualifying campaign. However, the ‘Green Falcons,’ who have kept a clean sheet in both Group B road trips so far (W1, D1), hold a six-point lead over fourth-placed Oman and look to be in a prime position to secure automatic qualification for Qatar 2022. Since the beginning of the 2022 World Cup qualifying cycle, Herve Renard’s men have avoided defeat in all six away matches (W3, D3) despite blowing hot and cold in the front third. Indeed, whilst scoring 2+ goals in three of those six matches, Saudi Arabia failed to find the back of the net in two of the other three.
