Notable information before the Vietnam Women vs Japan Women match:

The Vietnam Women's National Team is facing a difficult situation in the competition for a ticket to advance to the 2026 Women's Asian Cup Finals. Previous analyses suggested that if they advance from the group stage as one of the top 2/3 third-place teams, the path to qualifying for the World Cup would be easier than finishing second in the group.

However, even securing a ticket to advance from the group stage is now challenging for the Vietnam Women's National Team. The loss to Taiwan in the previous match, along with Uzbekistan and Philippines having good results, puts the Vietnam Women's National Team at risk of elimination from the group stage if they suffer a heavy defeat against Japan.

If they lose to Japan by a margin of two goals or more while Taiwan defeats India, the Vietnam Women's National Team will only finish third and also fail to advance from the group stage, losing to Uzbekistan and Philippines in the ranking of the best third-place teams. Naturally, these two conditions are very likely to occur at this moment.

Everyone understands how strong the Japan Women's National Team is. They easily crushed India 11-0, while the Vietnam Women's National Team struggled to defeat the same opponent 2-1. Taiwan, with its strength, should not find it difficult to defeat India. Therefore, if the Vietnam Women's National Team wants to have control over their fate, they must perform well against Japan and avoid a heavy defeat.

Expected lineup for Vietnam Women vs Japan Women

• Vietnam:Kim Thanh, Thái Thị Thảo, Diễm My, Trần Thu Thảo, Trần Thị Duyên, Cù Thị Huỳnh Như, Thanh Nhã, Dương Thị Vân, Vũ Thị Hoa, Bích Thùy, Vạn Sự.

• Japan:Yamashita, Shimizu, Takahashi, Minami, Kitagawa, Hasegawa, Nagano, Tanikawa, Hamano, Tanaka, Fujino.
