Japan has been the best team in this tournament so far. They beat Chinese Taipei 2-0 and then scored 11 goals against India.
Head coach Futoshi Ikeda is expected to rotate his squad but still field a strong starting line-up.
Vietnam had a strong start with a win over India, but then lost its second match. Coach Mai Duc Chung knows his team must play their best football to have any chance against Japan. Vietnam will likely defend deeply and try to hit Japan on the counter-attack.

Japan vs Vietnam: Key Players to Watch
Both teams have players who can change this match in a single moment. Japan have multiple match-winners across the pitch. Vietnam will rely on a few key individuals to carry their hopes on Tuesday night.
Here is a look at the key players who could decide the result at HBF Park.
| Player | Team | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Momoko Tanikawa | Japan | One of Japan’s most creative players in the final third. She was involved in their attacking moves against Chinese Taipei and will look to find gaps in Vietnam’s defensive shape. |
| Kiko Seike | Japan | A sharp and direct winger who uses pace to get in behind defences. She was active against Chinese Taipei and will test Vietnam’s full-backs every time she receives the ball. |
| Hinata Miyazawa | Japan | A clinical finisher who stays disciplined in her positioning and attacks the ball with purpose. Vietnam’s centre-backs will need to track her closely throughout the match. |
| Thị Hoa Vũ | Vietnam | A key figure in Vietnam’s attacking play. She was involved in the buildup to their winning goal against India and brings pace and directness every time she receives the ball in dangerous areas. |
| Thị Vạn Sự Ngân | Vietnam | Vietnam’s most active player in front of the goal during Matchday One. She was involved in multiple scoring opportunities and will be the player Japan’s defenders need to track closely. |
Japan’s squad depth is one of the strongest in the entire tournament. Even when they rotate, the quality of the players coming in stays very high.
