Park Hang-Seo, the Vietnamese coach is confident his side can hurt the Jordanians having played similar opponents in Iran and Iraq. Although they lost these games, the experience gained will be vital. As they say, anyone can beat anyone on their day and this holds true for the Vietnamese too. Their inspirational midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai has been their stand out performer in UAE so far. He scored against Yemen in a 2-0 win and would be hoping he can carry on the good form. Their five-man defence led by Que Ngoc Hai will need to be at their best in order to keep their opponents at bay.
Jordan are quite confident they can get the job done against Vietnam after some solid displays in the group games. Important wins against Syria and Australia has certainly been a confidence booster for Vital Borkelmans’ side. Their attacking players like Saeed Murjan, Yousef-Al-Rawashdeh are vastly talented and others like midfielder Musa Al Taamari have contributed with the goals too. Defender Tareq Khattab has looked good in both the penalty areas as he defends well and is a threat in set-pieces. Jordan are favourites to make it to the quarter-finals of the 2019 Asian Cup as they are quite simply a better footballing team compared to their rivals. Vietnam should be proud of making it o the round of 16 and they can build on this experience for future tournaments.
