The competition in Group F now only has one match left.Vietnam will host Malaysia in March 2026.
To qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup, Vietnam must be able to beat Malaysia with a score of 5-1, 6-2, and so on.Under these conditions, Vietnam will qualify because they are superior in goal productivity after head to head and the goal difference between the two teams in their meeting record is at a draw.
Vietnam can also be guaranteed to qualify if they win by a margin of five goals or more.This will put Vietnam ahead on goal difference in their head to head record against Malaysia.
This situation is clearly difficult for Vietnam to realize.Malaysia will certainly try their best not to lose badly in this match.
However, apart from the opportunity in the second meeting, there are other things that could change the fate of the two teams.This is related to the status of Malaysian naturalized players.
The validity of the group of naturalized Malaysian players who played when Malaysia beat Vietnam with a score of 4-0 has so far been questioned.This investigation process is being taken to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
If there are no significant changes in the development of the naturalized player’s case, Malaysia must be prepared to be punished.
They could be subject to sanctions such as point deductions for playing unauthorized players in the match against Vietnam.If that happens, the positions of the two teams will automatically change and Vietnam will be above Malaysia.
