International football action takes centre stage this week, and there will be an eye-catching showdown in Asia on Tuesday. China will have home field advantage as they look to end a poor run of results when they clash with Vietnam.
International Friendly Preview
China will be looking to build momentum as they return to international action this week. The nation will be looking to hit some solid form ahead of the start of the second round of World Cup qualification action next month. China will be looking to end their long wait to compete at the competition, with their only previous appearance coming in 2002.
Their form on the field this calendar year has been inconsistent, as they have landed just two wins from their six international fixtures. Their most recent victory was a 2-0 win over Palestine in June 2023. However, that was followed up with two matches without a victory. China’s most recent international fixture was on home soil against Syria, as they were edged out by a 1-0 scoreline.
Vietnam find themselves in a similar position to their rivals this week, as they will be looking to build momentum ahead of their second round World Cup qualifiers next month. However, unlike China, Vietnam have never previously managed to achieve qualification for the World Cup throughout their history.
But, they come into this international fixture after enjoying some positive results in recent months, as they have landed victories in each of their last three. Their most recent victory was a 2-0 success over Palestine in September. They have scored four goals across their last three internationals, and they have managed to keep three consecutive clean sheets.
China vs Vietnam Head to Head
China’s record in this fixture could be a very key trend to consider, as they have won seven of their eight internationals against Vietnam. However, the visitors should be confident coming into this showdown, as they landed a first-ever win over China in the most recent fixture between the sides in February 2022.
China vs Vietnam Prediction
Vietnam’s performances throughout this year have been encouraging, and that could be a trend to consider this weekend. They come into this match after landing a historic win over China last year, and a second straight victory over their rivals could be a decent betting angle on Tuesday.
