Bangladesh Lineup Vs Vietnam: Hamza Starts as Bengal Tigers Look to Grab A Win

The international friendlies are back, where different footballing nations will test their waters once again, with the same bunch of players who have been serving the country for quite some time now, along with a few new faces in the mix.

Vietnam vs Bangladesh happens to be one of those matches that increases attention around the Asian footballing circle, mostly. The Vietnam national football team have already qualified for the AFC Asian Cup after beating Laos 2-0 in their previous game, but manager Kim Sang-sik wants to use this match to identify the loopholes and work on them tactically for the further stages.

The Vietnamese won all five of their matches in the qualifying stage, which comprises a 5-0 thrashing of Laos in the very first matchday itself. They finished above Malaysia with 15 points, and conceded just one goal in the whole of the qualifying campaign, showing tremendous defensive resilience.

On the contrary, Bangladesh national football team had a disappointing outing in the qualifiers, where they finished third in their group with five points. Their only win came against their subcontinent rivals, India, on the penultimate matchday of the group stages.

As a result, they failed to qualify for the main event in 2027, but would like to keep their preparations going to have their team and tactics sorted out before any further major tournaments. They are yet to play the group leaders, Singapore away, and are looking to use this match as an important tool to field the right lineup in their very last game of the qualifiers.

As the two teams gear up to face off in Ha Noi, Sportsdunia is here with the Bangladesh lineup vs Vietnam and further details about how Vietnam is going to tackle the likes of Hamza Choudhury and Jamal Bhuyyan in the midfield. Fans who want to close look at the clash can keep an eye on Vietnam vs Bangladesh Live Stream.

Vietnam vs Bangladesh Lineups CONFIRMED

Let's take a look at the Bangladesh lineup vs Vietnam first. Javier Carbera has fielded his strongest possible lineup, just as he did against Indian national football team in November in the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers.

Mitul Marma starts in goal, with Saad Uddin and Zayyan Ahmed playing their respective full-back roles. Tariq Kazi and Topu Barman keep their place in the Bangladesh lineup as centre-backs. The renowned Hamza Choudhury starts in midfield with the skipper Jamal Bhuyyan, and is ably supported by Shamit Shome on the right.

The front three consist of Rakib Hossain, Shekh Morsalin, and Mohammed Fahim, two of whom contributed with a goal and an assist in the all-important game against the Blue Tigers.

Vietnam have gone with their most trusted players, those who have performed consistently for a good amount of time now. Trung Kien is the goalkeeper chosen for this game, and a back three of Doan Van Hau, Tran Dinh, and Duy Manh is designated to provide the 2003-born goalkeeper the much-needed cushion.

Kim Sang-sik has experimented a bit in the fullback positions, as Cao Pendant Quang Vinh and Truong Tien Anh start on either flank amidst tough competition from the other players. Quang Hai plays in the attacking midfielder role with Xuan Son and Hoang Hen as the two strikers up front.

Both Lineups have been taken from the Bangladesh football Facebook and the Vietnam football Facebook.
