Football Tribe Vietnam
State of the Team: Vietnam are in second place of the group with seven points. The team now are confident to achieve full points from their two home games in November. There are no major changes in the squad compared with the previous one. The only issues are with some minor injuries to a few key players, but that should not affect the team.
Thoughts on the Opposition: UAE will be without their all-time top scorer Ali Mabkhout due to suspension. That will be the positive signal for Vietnam as the 29-year-old striker is the main threat of the West Asia side.
Player to Watch – Nguyen Quang Hai: As usual, Quang Hai is the famous star in the squad. He always makes the difference at the moments when the team faces difficult a difficult trial. He will be the man Vietnam fan will hope to star at the My Dinh Stadium on November 14.
