Russia is currently ranked 33rd on the FIFA rankings, 81 places higher than Vietnam. Before the match with Vietnam tonight at My Dinh Stadium, Russia is a familiar name in the Euro or World Cup playground.

Tonight's match is considered a rare opportunity for coach Kim Sang-sik's team to test their strength against a team from Europe.

Despite not participating in official tournaments recently, the Russian team has maintained a fairly stable performance. With 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 matches, the team from the land of White Birch promises to bring a big challenge to coach Kim Sang-sik and his team.

Given the gap in class, a victory over Russia is difficult. However, Vietnamese fans still expect the home team to play a good match, contribute impressive performances and learn valuable lessons.
