Vietnam and Malaysia, currently Group B’s leaders, are poised to face off in the 2022 AFF Championship group stage on Tuesday evening.
The highly-anticipated game will kick off at My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi at 7:30 pm (Vietnam time) and will be broadcast live on the FPT Play platform and VTV Can Tho channel.
Vietnam made a strong start during their first match of the tournament on December 21 as the 2008 and 2018 winners thrashed Laos 6-0 in Vientiane.
Malaysia also opened their campaign with an 1-0 win over Myanmar on the same day before making light work of Laos, trouncing them 5-0 in Kuala Lumpur three days later.
The Malaysians now sit atop Group B, which also features Singapore, with six points and two games played.
The Vietnamese rank second in the group with three points after having played just one match.
Singapore, Myanmar, and Laos follow in that order.
The group phase of the 2022 AFF Cup will continue until January 3 with group winners and runners-up advancing to the semifinals, which will be played on January 6 and 9 on a home-and-away basis.
The final will be held over two legs on January 13 and 16.
