Laos will be disappointed with their form in recent matches. In their last six matches, they have managed just two victories along with four defeats. Their record in the recent editions of the AFF Championship is far from spectacular with no wins in the last three editions. Laos have also failed to move out of the group stages in their previous 12 participations.
Vietnam, on the other hand, will be delighted with how their recent matches have turned out. They have managed five wins to go with a draw in their last six fixtures. This will be their 14th participation in the AFF Championship, having reached the top four in all their last four appearances. Vietnam were also crowned the champions in the 2018 edition.
Given that is the opening game, there is a very high chance that the coaches will opt to go in with their respective strongest XIs. This will help in securing the all important three points and starting off on a positive note.
