Vietnam vs Taiwan Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 11 November 2026
π Vietnam will face Taiwan in the opening match of the Casper Cup 2026 international friendly tournament. The hosts suffered disappointment at the last ASEAN Cup, where they finished without a medal, and will now look to make amends in front of their fans. The visitors come into the match after a long break and a run of poor results. The gap between the teamsβ current levels is clear, although Vietnam are also making extensive changes to their squad.
Head-to-head record favours Vietnam
π Vietnam won both of their last two competitive meetings: 2-1 in September 2015 and 4-1 in March 2016.
Head-to-head statistics Vietnam - Taiwan
Vietnam: squad overhaul after ASEAN Cup disappointment
Vietnam finished the ASEAN Cup in fourth place, losing to Thailand in the semi-final (1-2) and then to Malaysia in the third-place match (0-1). Between those matches, they beat Pakistan (4-2). Before this run of defeats, Kim Sang-sikβs side had gone 33 matches unbeaten, a streak dating back to October 2024. The coaching staff now need to restore the teamβs confidence while also assessing the players on the fringes of the squad ahead of the next international tournaments.
Vietnam have a clear advantage in individual quality and should control possession more often. Dinh Bac Nguyen stands out in attack, having scored ten goals in 25 appearances for the national team. The current squad also includes young players and several newcomers who will need to make the most of their opportunity. However, the tournamentβs friendly status suggests there will be experiments, so the hosts should not automatically be expected to field their usual starting XI or maintain maximum intensity throughout the full 90 minutes.
Match Results: Vietnam
Taiwan: eight defeats in a row
Taiwan occupy a much more modest position in Asian football and are enduring a prolonged slump. The national team last played in March 2026, losing 3-1 to Sri Lanka in Asian Cup qualifying. Before that, they lost to Turkmenistan (3-1), twice to Thailand (6-1 and 2-0), and to Indonesia (6-0). They have now suffered eight consecutive defeats. Their defence is particularly concerning: Taiwan have conceded 27 goals in those eight matches.
The visitors will find it difficult to contend with a more technically skilled opponent, especially if Vietnam manage to take the initiative quickly. Taiwan can, however, look to the individual ability of naturalised forward John Benchy, who can play either centrally or on the wing. Experienced captain Chen Po-Liang also plays an important role in midfield. Yet the long spell without playing at international level remains a serious obstacle ahead of their meeting with the tournament hosts.
Match Results: Taiwan
π¨ Yellow Cards Prediction
A Malaysian refereeing team led by Mohamad Nawal bin Mohammad Zubir has been appointed for the match. In his last 18 matches, the referee has shown 79 yellow cards - an average of around 4.4 per game. That is a fairly high figure for a friendly tournament, although much will depend on how physical the match is. Total Yellow Cards - Under 4.5 is worth considering.
β½ Goals Prediction
Taiwan have conceded 27 goals in their last eight matches, while Vietnam scored four against Pakistan on 2 October. The difference in attacking potential is clear, and even the hostsβ refreshed squad are capable of causing serious problems for the visitorsβ defence. Taiwan have scored in previous head-to-head meetings, though, so a goal for the visitors should not be ruled out entirely. The main pick is Total Goals - Over 3.5 at odds of 1.56*.
π© Corners Prediction
Vietnam should have a clear advantage in possession and mount more attacks from established positions. Taiwan will have to defend for long spells, closing down the flanks and blocking crosses into the box. This scenario could lead to more set pieces near the visitorsβ goal. Letβs consider Vietnam Team Total Corners - Over 5.5.
*Odds are indicative and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
β Editor's Prediction
Vietnam are considerably stronger than Taiwan in terms of squad quality and results in recent years. The visitors have not won for a long time, and their defence regularly suffers major lapses. Despite changes to the squad, the hosts should create enough chances to score several goals. Given Taiwan's weak defence and the number of goals in previous head-to-head meetings, we expect an open match with Vietnam on top. Final bet: Total Goals - Over 3.5. Correct score prediction: 3-1.
Will this prediction come true?
