Preview Vietnam vs Philippines: Hosts Hold the Advantage

The Vietnamese women's volleyball team faces Philippines at 7:00 PM on July 31 at Dong Anh Gymnasium in the opening match of Leg 1 of the 2026 SEA V.Cup. With home advantage and the status of defending champions of the 2025 SEA V.League Women's Leg 2 (former name), coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet's squad is rated higher.

Vietnam will be without Nguyen Thi Bich Tuyen, so the attack will rely heavily on Tran Thi Thanh Thuy, Vi Thi Nhu Quynh, and the orchestration of Vo Thi Kim Thoa. The hosts also had to make last-minute adjustments when Luu Thi Hue replaced the injured Nguyen Phuong Quynh.

Philippines brings to Hanoi a youthful roster, featuring setter Jia De Guzman, outside hitters Bella Belen, Vanie Gandler, Eya Laure, and a tall middle blocker lineup including Thea Gagate, Dell Palomata, and Fifi Sharma. These players can apply pressure with serving and blocking.

Nevertheless, Vietnam still has the edge in experience, tactical organization, and consistency. The hosts can control the game, but they need to minimize reception errors to avoid being dragged into tight sets.

Prediction: Vietnam wins 3-0 against Philippines.
