Prediction: U23 Vietnam will get 3 points against U23 Indonesia

U23 Indonesia can play tough to get 3 points

It is likely that the big win in the opening match of U23 Vietnam will not have much meaning in terms of points because U23 Pakistan withdrew from the tournament, causing a slight change in the tournament format. At that time, the results of third-place teams will not be counted. Because of this, tonight's match against U23 Indonesia is almost the first match of coach Park Hang-seo and his team in the 2020 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers.

However, in their first match of the tournament, U23 Indonesia faced U23 Thailand and suffered a bitter 4-0 defeat. Therefore, if they want to have a chance to go to the final round, U23 Indonesia must win the second match. This will be a huge psychological pressure before entering the match for the players of the Land of Ten Thousand Islands. Because their opponent in this match, U23 Vietnam, is also not a team that is too easy to get 3 points under coach Park Hang-seo.

This could also be the reason why U23 Indonesia is ready to bring a pragmatic and even tough football like the common ground of Indonesian national teams at all levels to My Dinh to wait for an opportunity to shine for an individual hoping to win 3 points.

Waiting for Coach Park Hang-seo

In the match against U23 Brunei, the Korean coach had the opportunity to experiment with new players and new playing styles. Many fans were even unhappy to see their team playing too many crosses and headers without Quang Hai on the field despite scoring 3 goals before. However, against an opponent with almost no ability to resist like U23 Brunei, coach Park Hang-seo had a reason to come up with new playing styles that were more suitable for the players he had.

The match with U23 Indonesia will directly affect the chance of U23 Vietnam to go to the final round, so coach Park Hang-seo will come up with a completely different lineup and tactics from the first match. In addition, the players who were given the opportunity to play also followed the tactics and created their own marks, somewhat allaying the doubts. The psychological advantage is also an opportunity for U23 Vietnam to enter the match more confidently than the opponent.

Against an opponent like U23 Indonesia, getting 3 points while keeping the same squad after the match will be the problem that coach Park Hang-seo must solve after the match taking place at 8:00 p.m. tonight.
