Vietnam host Myanmar at the Mỹ Đình National Stadium in Hanoi on Tuesday in the AFF Championship, knowing that a draw is enough to seal their place in the knockout stages.
With seven points in three games, the Golden Star Warriors are currently sitting atop Group B, ahead of Singapore, who also have seven points in the bag, on goal difference.
Park Hang-seo's side started their campaign with a 6-0 thumping of Laos followed by a 3-0 drubbing of Malaysia before holding Singapore to a 0-0 draw.
Against Myanmar, just one point would be enough to confirm their place in the semi-finals, but if there's a winner in the other match between Singapore and Malaysia, Vietnam will lose top spot and play the winners of Group A in the next round.
Myanmar have nothing but pride to play for in this encounter, having already seen their progression hopes end. Back-to-back losses to Malaysia (1-0) and Singapore (3-2) left them in the lurch before a 2-2 draw with Laos sealed their fate.

Vietnam vs Myanmar Prediction
Vietnam are fighting to win the group and confirm their place in the last four of the AFF Championship, as opposed to Myanmar, who have very little at stake here.
The Chinthe failed to perform to their best ability this time around and, given the contrasting form of the two nations, we expect the Golden Star Warriors to prevail in this match.
