Cambodia is already out of the tournament’s next stage, having lost two matches and won only one. Vietnam, on the other hand, only needs a draw with Cambodia to qualify for the semifinal, regardless of the result of the Malaysia-Myanmar match at the same time.
Vietnam can even secure the group’s top spot if they win against Cambodia and Myanmar draws or loses to Malaysia.
