Thai media predicts not very optimistically for coach Park Hang-seo and his team

U23 Thailand won 6 points after 2 convincing wins against U23 Indonesia and U23 Brunei. Despite convincingly defeating U23 Brunei, U23 Vietnam had to struggle to get 3 points against U23 Indonesia.

With the same 6 points as U23 Thailand, U23 Vietnam ranked 2nd in Group K due to inferior sub-index. Coach Park Hang-seo and his team must defeat U23 Thailand in the match at 8:00 p.m. tomorrow (March 26) to decide their own fate, winning a ticket to the 2020 AFC U23 Championship as group leader. If they finish 2nd, U23 Vietnam must wait for the results of the matches in the remaining 10 groups to hope to win a ticket to Thailand in early 2020 as one of the 5 best 2nd-placed teams.

Right after the U23 team struggled to overcome U23 Indonesia, the Thai press predicted that coach Park Hang-seo's team would lose to U23 Thailand at My Dinh Stadium tomorrow night.

“U23 Vietnam had a hard time defeating U23 Indonesia thanks to Viet Hung’s goal in the 4th minute of extra time. It seemed like the end, but U23 Vietnam won and revived the hope of going on.

U23 Vietnam is ranked 2nd in Group K because of a lower secondary index than Thailand. Tomorrow, the two teams will enter the decisive match. With what they have shown, U23 Thailand has a chance to defeat U23 Vietnam," Thailand's number 1 sports newspaper, Siam Sport, commented.

Similar to Siam Sport, another Thai newspaper, Thairath, also believes that U23 Thailand will defeat U23 Vietnam.

“My Dinh Stadium exploded when Viet Hung scored the winning goal for U23 Vietnam. With 6 points after 2 matches, U23 Vietnam is ranked behind U23 Thailand due to inferior sub-index. With what has happened, U23 Thailand will defeat U23 Vietnam in tomorrow night's match.”

Not only Thairath and Siam Sport, Goal and Fox Sport Asia Thai version also believe that the home team will have no difficulty in defeating coach Park Hang-seo's army.
