In theory, Nepal is not the opponent of the Vietnamese women's team. The ranking of this team on the FIFA rankings is only 103 with 1,195 points. Meanwhile, the Vietnamese women's team ranked 34th with 1,643 points. This is a big gap.
In terms of playing experience, Nepal cannot compare with coach Mai Duc Chung's students. Two veteran players of the South Asian team like Niru Thapa and Sabitra have only had more than 40 matches for the national team. The remaining factors mainly played from 20 to 30 matches.
Meanwhile, the Vietnamese women's team owns up to 4 players who have played over 60 matches for the national team, namely Huynh Nhu, Pham Hai Yen, Nguyen Thi Tuyet Dung, and Duong Thi Van. The group of players who played over 40 matches included Tran Thi Kim Thanh, Chuong Thi Kieu, Tran Thi Thuy Trang, Nguyen Thi Van, and Tran Thi Bich Thuy.
In particular, the Vietnamese women's team also welcomed Huynh Nhu, a player returning from Portugal. The reigning Golden Ball is hungry to score more than ever. She went through 4 consecutive matches without scoring for Lank Club. The confrontation with Nepal will be an opportunity for the striker from Tra Vinh to regain the feeling of scoring.
