Philippines vs Vietnam Prediction

Philippines and Vietnam are seeking to make history by qualifying for the FIFA World Cup for the first time in their history.

The visiting side have been poor coming into the game, losing each of their last three games, although they have a strong record against the Philippines. Despite their form, Vietnam are still the favorites to claim all three points and will go all out for the victory.

The Philippines have home advantage in their favor but they have lost each of the last five head-to-head games. Neither of the two sides is blessed with attacking prowess and goals could come at a premium in this game. We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win and clean sheet.

Prediction: Philippines 0-1 Vietnam
