Vietnam's national team sets an incredibly unbelievable record against Malaysia.

Vietnam's national team maintains a 12-year unbeaten streak against Malaysia, creating a significant advantage ahead of their rematch in the Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers.

Over the past 12 years, Vietnam's national team has maintained an impressive record by not losing any match to Malaysia's national team. This consistent performance streak serves as a major psychological pillar whenever the two teams meet again in regional and continental competitions.

The last time Vietnam's national team suffered a defeat against Malaysia occurred during the away leg semifinal of the AFF Cup 2014. At that time, despite securing a 2-1 victory away, the team lost 4-2 at My Dinh Stadium and missed the chance to advance to the final. Since that milestone, the balance of the rivalry has completely tilted toward the "Golden Star Warriors."

In the recent 12 years, Vietnam's national team has recorded up to 8 victories and only 1 draw against Malaysia, including the 2025 match where the opponent was penalized with a loss. This achievement reflects the stability in their gameplay as well as the superiority in competitive spirit of the Vietnamese team whenever facing this long-standing rival.

Although the upcoming match in the Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers is merely procedural since the group stage outcome is already settled, the encounter between the two teams still attracts significant attention. Vietnam's national team is currently leading Group F after Malaysia was deducted points by AFC, thereby securing an early ticket to the finals.

On Malaysia's side, this team is under considerable pressure following sanctions from FIFA and AFC. Therefore, they are determined to achieve a positive result to regain trust from their supporters. This promises to be a match where the visiting team plays with a nothing-to-lose mentality.

Meanwhile, Vietnam's national team aims for a home victory to affirm their status against the opponent. The return of Xuan Son after injury along with the first appearance of Hoang Hen brings many expectations for the squad. The match between the two teams will occur at 19:00 on March 31 at Thien Truong Stadium, where coach Kim Sang Sik and his team have the opportunity to extend their impressive unbeaten streak against Malaysia.
