In the last round of this group stage, Iraq enters with a perfect score and an almost perfect goal difference. After 5 rounds played in the group with Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines, they won the maximum 15 points, with a goal difference of 14 goals scored and only 1 goal conceded. With such a performance, Iraq is among only 3 teams with an ideal performance. Iraq continued with their fine run of results in the qualifiers as they picked up a comfortable 2-0 victory over 10-man Indonesia last Sunday. Iraq have been utterly dominant in the history of this fixture, claiming five wins and one draw in the last six meetings between the two sides. With the victory against the Philippines, Vietnam ended a very bad streak of 7 defeats in the last matches. With 6 points after 5 games played, they occupy the third place in the table, without any chance to overtake second place Indonesia. The positions in the table absolutely correspond to the quality of the teams and I think that in this match Vietnam will be in a completely subordinate position. Although the victory in this match will not bring them anything, I think that the difference in quality between Iraq and Vietnam is too big and that it will be enough for today's hosts to achieve another victory in a row.

在小组赛的最后一轮，伊拉克以完美的比分和近乎完美的净胜球进入了小组赛。在与越南、印度尼西亚和菲律宾的5轮小组赛中，他们获得了最多15分，进球数为14球，失球数仅为1球。凭借这样的表现，伊拉克是仅有的三支表现理想的球队之一。伊拉克在预选赛中延续了他们的好成绩，上周日他们以2比0轻松战胜了10人的印尼。伊拉克在这场比赛的历史上占据了绝对的统治地位，在两队最近的六次交锋中取得了5胜1平的成绩。战胜菲律宾后，越南结束了上几场比赛的七连败。5场比赛积6分，排在积分榜第三，没有任何机会超越第二名印尼。积分榜上的位置完全与球队的实力相对应，我认为在这场比赛中，越南队将处于完全从属的位置。虽然这场比赛的胜利不会给他们带来什么，但我认为伊拉克和越南在实力上的差距太大了，这足以让今天的东道主再取得一场胜利。
