FC Seoul's record over a similar sample is 10 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses, scoring 33 and conceding 22. There are some heavy away defeats in there, including a 0-7 loss at FC Anyang and a 2-5 reverse at Gwangju. Their continental form has actually been sharper than their league form, highlighted by a 3-0 win away at Melbourne Victory, though they did lose 0-1 at home to Persib Bandung.
Viettel's form looks the more consistent of the two, but FC Seoul have shown they can be dangerous in continental competition specifically.
Comparative Team Statistics: Viettel vs FC Seoul

Early days in this group section
The table shown covers just this stage of the competition, and it's early. Viettel sit third with a draw and a loss from two games, scoring once and conceding twice. FC Seoul are fourth, winless with two defeats, yet to find the net and having shipped four.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group E | |||||||
| 1 | Persib Bandung | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2/0 | 6 |
| 2 | Melbourne Victory | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 4/1 | 4 |
| 3 | Viettel | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1/2 | 1 |
| 4 | FC Seoul | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0/4 | 0 |
It's a small sample, so it tells us more about recent momentum than season-defining league position.

A tight, low-scoring tussle in the making?
Based on the numbers from this group phase, neither side has been scoring freely. Viettel have one goal in two outings, while FC Seoul haven't scored at all yet and have conceded four. That points towards a cagey affair rather than an open one.
Viettel's broader home form and tighter defensive numbers give them a platform, but FC Seoul's continental away form, including that win at Melbourne Victory, suggests they won't simply roll over.

Both teams arrive with something to prove in this group phase, Viettel from a position of general consistency, FC Seoul from a mixed bag that's included some eye-catching continental moments.
With no market to weigh up and the evidence pointing in different directions depending on which form line you trust, this looks like one to watch rather than back.
