Đặng Văn Lâm Keeping the Goal on Lock: 3 Clean Sheets in 6 Games for Season's Best Goalkeeper

The performance of Vietnam at home as postulated is impressive, having won 3 and drawing 0 of their last 5 matches at Sân Vận Động Quốc Gia Mỹ Đình. Despite this feat, Vietnam's goal scoring has been rather limited, notching up only 4 goals in the last 5 home games. However, Đặng Văn Lâm's impressive goalkeeping form, in which he has managed to keep strikers from scoring in 3 matches across 6 games, has enabled the home side to climb to 2nd in the standings after amassing 3 points from 1 match, winning 1 and drawing 0.

Jalal Hassan Hachim: Keeper of the Immaculate Sheet

Iraq come into this match in excellent form, having won 3 of their last 5 outings and scoring 6 goals in the process. Iraq’s last match was also a success, ending in a 2-2 draw against Jordan in the Friendlies. Goalkeeper Jalal Hassan Hachim has provided Iraq with exceptional levels of defence, having so far managed to keep strikers at bay in 3 matches across 6 games this season. Iraq have a healthy, in-form squad ready to go, setting up the stage for an exciting match.

The match between Vietnam and Iraq is one of great anticipation, with recent matches producing an average of 5 goals. Already both clubs have faced each other an impressive four times, with Iraq appearing more successful, achieving 3 impressive victories. Vietnam, however, has remained resilient with 1 draw and momentum to focus on achieving a breakthrough win.

From Underdog to Ace: Vietnam on the Verge of Claiming AFC World Cup Qualification Supremacy

Featuring 3rd place on the AFC World Cup Qualification table, Vietnam has an excellent opportunity to overtake Iraq and take the top spot. This competitive drive is sure to provide an inspiring boost for the gifted squad, resulting in heightened intensity to achieve the highest levels of success and score even more ambitions goals.
