    Mynamar made another two substitutions.

After the first two games, Myanmar had six points while Vietnam got four. Therefore, this game can be a turning point for Vietnam. With two games in hand, Vietnam must win all of them to secure the ticket to the semifinals.

In the most recent SEA Games encounter in 2015, Vietnam lost 1-2 to Myanmar and this result is not allowed to repeat with the host.

After six encounters in SEA Games, each team have won three.

Indonesia are topping group A with six points, after defeating Philippines 4-0 in the early game on Friday.

A win against Myanmar will get Vietnam to the top with seven points.
