TEAMS PREVIEW

Chinese Taipei Preview

As expected, Chinese Taipei struggled against Asia’s top-ranked side Japan in their AFC Asian Cup opener. Sitting deep and defending resolutely, they frustrated Japan for long spells and held them goalless despite having just 9.3% possession. 

However, the pressure eventually told as they conceded twice in the second half. Facing 30 shots in total, it was still a brave defensive display, but if Taipei hope to reach the next round like in the previous edition, they will need far more attacking intent than the zero shots they managed against Japan when they face Vietnam on Saturday. 

Key Players

Goalkeeper Wang Yu-Ting was Chinese Taipei’s standout performer in the opener, making nine crucial saves to keep the scoreline respectable. She will likely need another big performance on Saturday to keep her side in contention. At the other end, Hsu Yi-yun and Su Yu-hsuan must step up and deliver the goals Taipei badly need. 

Chinese Taipei Probable Starting Lineup - ​Wang Yu-ting (GK), Pan Shin-yu, Chen Ying-hui, Su Sin-yun, Chang Chi-lan, Lin Ya-han, Hsu Yi-yun, Wu Kai-ching, Chen Yen-ping, Lan Yu-chieh, and Su Yu-hsuan

Vietnam Preview

Vietnam arrived at the tournament with high expectations after their recent FIFA Women’s World Cup appearance, and they lived up to the billing with a 2–1 win over India in the opener. It was far from easy, though, as they needed a stoppage-time strike to seal all three points, with Ngân Thị Vạn Sự scoring both goals. 

Statistically, Vietnam were impressive going forward, enjoying 64% possession and placing six of their 11 shots on target—an attacking edge they will hope to carry into Saturday’s clash with Chinese Taipei. 

Key Players 

Ngân Thị Vạn Sự, fresh from her brace in the opener, will naturally be one of the key players to watch. But captain and all-time top scorer Huỳnh Như will also be eager to stamp her authority on the game and lead Vietnam’s attack with impact. 

Vietnam Probable Starting Lineup - ​Tran Thi Kim Thanh (GK), Tran Thi Thu, Le Thi Diem My, Tran Thi Thu Thao, Hoang Thi Loan, Duong Thi Van, Thai Thi Thao, Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy, Ngan Thi Van Su, Nguyen Thi Thanh Nha, and Huynh Nhu.

CHINESE TAIPEI vs VIETNAM
Winning Prediction

There is little to separate the two sides in terms of FIFA rankings, with just four places between them, and even their squad strength appears quite evenly matched. However, when it comes to experience at the Asian Cup, Vietnam hold a clear advantage, which makes them slight favourites for this clash—especially with a win already under their belt.

The bookmakers echo that sentiment, pricing Vietnam at 1.65 for victory, while Chinese Taipei are at 4.20, with a draw valued at 3.70.
