Head-to-head history of U23 Indonesia vs U23 Vietnam: The Golden Star Warriors dominate
The encounter between U23 Indonesia and U23 Vietnam is a fateful rematch, where history is in favor of Vietnam but current form is very balanced.
Recent form of the two teams
Vietnam U23 is showing stable performance and steadfastness under coach Kim Sang Sik. At the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 tournament, they won all 3 matches against Laos U23 (3-0), Cambodia (2-1) and the Philippines (2-1), showing solidity in defense and the ability to effectively take advantage of opportunities. The red shirt team's attack does not have outstanding stars, but is even and knows how to shine at the right time.
Meanwhile, U23 Indonesia entered the final with many emotions after a thrilling victory over U23 Thailand on penalties. Despite having home field advantage and possessing goalscorer Jens Raven – who scored 7 goals, Indonesia had difficulties in big matches, typically the 0-0 draw with Malaysia and the defeat against Guinea in May 2024. Having to play 120 minutes in the semi-finals could also affect their physical strength in the final match.
History of confrontation: Vietnam completely dominates
In the last 5 meetings at the U23 level, U23 Vietnam is undefeated against U23 Indonesia, with 4 wins and 1 draw. Notably, in the final match of U23 Southeast Asia 2023, the two teams drew 0-0 after 120 minutes and Vietnam won 6-5 in the penalty shootout, thereby raising the championship title right on the away field.
Not only do they excel in results, U23 Vietnam also often dominates the game. From the 3-0 victory at the 2022 SEA Games to the 1-0 victory in the 2019 Asian qualifiers, the red team always knows how to control the game and neutralize pressure from the opponent. The fact that Indonesia has never won in recent confrontations puts a lot of psychological pressure on them before this final match.
History is leaning towards U23 Vietnam, but the form and desire of U23 Indonesia on home ground cannot be underestimated. The 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Final promises to be a balanced battle, where the past and present speak together.
