Latest football commentary U23 Philippines vs U23 Indonesia
Although both have a 40% winning rate in the last 5 matches, it is clear that U23 Indonesia is receiving more expectations from experts thanks to the explosive start with an 8-0 victory over U23 Brunei. However, observers believe that it is just a gentle start for the archipelago team because the opponent is too weak. The match against U23 Philippines is really a better test for the ambition of winning the top spot of the group of the archipelago team.
On the other hand, U23 Philippines just created a big shock when they defeated U23 Malaysia - the team that once declared to compete for the championship. Not only showing their tenacity and effectiveness in counter-attacking defense, they also possess an extremely dangerous striker, Otu Abang Banatao - who scored a double against Malaysia with sharp shots. In addition, the tight defense - quick counter-attacking style that coach Garrath McPherson deployed is helping the Philippines to exploit the subjectivity of offensive teams.
However, compared to Malaysia, Indonesia has a deeper squad and better control of the game. The Philippines' 0-4 loss to Malaysia in the U23 Asian qualifiers last year showed that they are still vulnerable when facing opponents who know how to maintain a high tempo. Indonesia can completely take advantage of these gaps to win. In particular, striker Raven - who scored 5 goals in the opening match - is the biggest hope in penetrating the opponent's defense.
If they can maintain their focus and maintain enough pressure in the second half, U23 Indonesia is expected to win the next 3 points to get closer to the semi-final ticket.
