Russia vs Vietnam Prediction 10 November 2026

Beso Zoidze’s side were outstanding in the first match, scoring eight unanswered goals. Mikhail Moskalev and Vladislav Musin-Pushkin struck just ten seconds apart in the second minute to give Russia an early cushion. The hosts had scored five by half-time, leaving little doubt about the outcome. They were particularly effective from set pieces, with Andrey Ponkratov and Anton Sokolov both getting on the scoresheet. The coaching staff also rotated their line-ups throughout, helping Russia maintain a high tempo until the final whistle.

Vietnam are continuing their preparations for the Asian Games under Diego Giustozzi. Their current squad includes a number of young players who need international experience ahead of major tournaments. They are also dealing with injury absences: captain Nguyen Manh Dung is missing the training camp with a ligament injury, while winger Dinh Cong Vien has also been ruled out. In their first match against Russia, Vietnam struggled defensively and conceded eight goals. The visitors now need to improve their coordination when defending set pieces and cut out mistakes in their own half.
