Theoretically, the Vietnamese team is at a lower level compared to South Korea. As of the evening of June 18, the team coached by Tran Dinh Tien ranks 53rd. Meanwhile, South Korea is ranked 25th globally, and fifth in Asia.
Therefore, it will be a challenging match for Vietnam. However, they will not face too much pressure as they have already secured a quarterfinal spot in this year’s AVC Nations Cup. Since there are only three teams in Group D and New Zealand has lost all matches, the game between the Vietnamese men’s volleyball team and South Korea only decides the top position in the group.
