China to emerge victorious
Vietnam have a very poor record against China after having lost the recent six games against this nation. Both teams come on the back of a disappointing run of form. China will be hoping that the presence of Li Tie – as opposed to former coach Marcello Lippi – will provide some relief.
Total goals over 2.5
Vietnam and China come on the back of a 1-0 defeat in the recent game. However, it is clear that both teams are defensively poor as they both conceded three goals in the preceding match. China do score a lot of goals in home matches, while the defensive woes faced by Vietnam could lead to goals.
Both teams to score – yes
China have not scored last two games but they do have a very strong home record. Vietnam will be looking to capitalise on the struggles faced by China in recent fixtures. This can end up producing goals at both ends due to the defensive woes.

China
Following a disappointing start to the group matches with back-to-back losses, China are under a lot of pressure to get something out of the game against Vietnam. There are plenty of problems in the background and the departure of Marcello Lippi is one among them.
Vietnam
Vietnam do have a very bad record against China after having suffered in all of the last six encounters against this team. The Golden Stars, however, cannot be considered as underdogs given the problems faced by China. Vietnam have also suffered back-to-back losses and they need to get back to winning ways soon.
