Team strength of U23 Vietnam vs U23 Cambodia: We are superior
The match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Cambodia promises to be exciting as both teams have great motivation in the race for tickets to the regional semi-finals.
Recent achievements
U23 Vietnam entered the tournament as a championship candidate and somewhat demonstrated that position with a 3-0 victory over U23 Laos in the opening match. Although controlling the ball up to 89% and completely dominating, the performance of coach Kim Sang Sik and his team still had some worrying points. The lack of cohesion in the midfield, many misdirected passes and deadlock in central coordination meant that U23 Vietnam mostly only created differences from set pieces.
Meanwhile, U23 Cambodia had a good start when they held U23 Laos to a 1-1 draw. They played proactively, controlled the ball well and created some clear chances. However, their defense was still lacking in concentration, causing them to concede early goals and had to rely on Sokha's brilliance in the second half to avoid defeat. With only 1 point after the first match, U23 Cambodia had to beat U23 Vietnam to keep their hopes of advancing alive, something that had never happened in previous confrontations.
Team strength assessment
U23 Vietnam has a well-balanced squad with many players who have played for the national youth teams. Center back Hieu Minh showed his formidable aerial ability when scoring twice from set pieces, while Khuat Van Khang is still the creative leader in midfield. In addition, names like Dinh Bac, Van Truong or Quoc Viet bring diversity to the attack, helping coach Kim Sang Sik have many flexible tactical options.
On the contrary, U23 Cambodia is somewhat inferior in terms of personnel quality. Although they show high fighting spirit and good coordination in attack, their squad lacks experience and experience in international competition. Striker Sokha is a significant bright spot, but the rest are not sharp enough to make a difference against a well-organized and disciplined defense of Vietnam. In addition, the ability to counter high balls and defend the flanks is still a weak point that can be easily exploited by the team from the land of pagodas.
U23 Vietnam is superior in both form and squad quality, and if they improve their cohesion in playing style, coach Kim Sang Sik and his team are fully capable of winning all 3 points to win a ticket to the semi-finals as group leaders.
