Japan finished as runners-up in the 2019 Asian Cup, and with their recent performances, they are regarded as one of the favorites to win the tournament.
As the players are in different states before the match, Mori Bokichi will hope to send every player to play in the group stage as much as possible, and the most important thing is to win the first match of the group stage if we want to make the road to qualification smoother.
Jun Ito is also one of the outgoing Europa League players who has been particularly impressive lately, and his performance in the recent friendly win over Thailand proves that he has been on a roll lately, and should be able to lead the team's attack from the front.
Vietnam is now led by former Japan manager Dusya, and I'm sure his knowledge of the Blue Warriors' players will help him make a good pre-match plan for this match. However, the fact is that there is a clear gap between the two sides, and despite coach Dusya's experience in Japan, it's hard to close the gap between the two sides.
Vietnam have a number of individual skillful players in their squad, including the man of the hour, Pham Tuan Hai, and the team's source of creativity, Nguyen Quang Hai. However, when the intensity of the game increases, they often fail to maintain their level of performance.
