    Despite being fit and in great form, Quang Hai didn't get to play a single minute in the two games against Indonesia. On the bench, the 27-year-old midfielder covered his face in disappointment.

A 0-1 defeat last Thursday at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium cost Vietnam second place of Group F to Indonesia. After three matches, Vietnam have three points, one behind Indonesia and six behind Iraq. If they cannot win in the rematch at My Dinh, the door to the third qualifying round for Vietnam is narrow.

For Indonesia, their goal is to not lose in this encounter to keep their second place of group F and the advantage over Vietnam in the race to the next round.

My Dinh National Stadium will be Vietnam's advantage with the support of over 40,000 fans. Indonesia have failed to win here for 20 years.
