Vietnam will welcome Singapore to the Thong Nhat Stadium for an international friendly fixture on Wednesday afternoon.
Vietnam who are ranked 97th in the world, will play for the first time in over three months, having beaten Afghanistan 2-0 in a friendly on June 1. Having missed out on FIFA World Cup qualification yet again, Park Hang-seo’s team will participate in December’s AFF Championship.
This month’s double-header to Singapore and India is an opportunity to prepare for the same.
Meanwhile, Singapore are looking to bounce back from their disappointment of failing to qualify for next year’s Asia Cup.
The Lions were knocked out in the third round of the qualifiers after finishing third in Group F with just one win in three games.
