Vietnam will host Indonesia in the 9th round of the qualification stage of the 2022 World Cup. A confident victory for the hosts?
Vietnam
On the one hand, Vietnam performs in the second qualifying round confidently and consistently well, with 11 points out of 15 possible. On the other hand, in four games out of five involving Vietnam, a maximum of 1 goal was scored, and only in one match did the audience see four effective shots. In the first match, Vietnam played 0-0 with Thailand, then won three consecutive victories: 1-0 over Malaysia, 3-1 over Indonesia and 1-0 over the United Arab Emirates, and then shared points with Thailand (0-0).
Indonesia
Indonesia remains without the World Cup-2022, as by all accounts failed the second qualifying stage, placing in the last fifth place with one point after six matches. The only point was scored in the previous round in the confrontation with Thailand (2-2), and before that Indonesia has lost five games in a row, scoring three goals with sixteen conceded.
Statistics and figures:
- Vietnam still goes undefeated: 3 wins and 2 draws;
- Indonesia has not won yet: 5 defeats and a draw;
- In the first round match, Vietnam won 3-1.
Forecast
Vietnam is rushing into the third stage, topping Group G after five rounds. I do not think that Indonesia, which closes the table, will be able to put up a decent resistance and create a sensation.
