Form of U23 Vietnam vs U23 Singapore
Although there were only about 4 days to gather and practice for the 2026 U23 Asian qualifying campaign, the members of U23 Vietnam have actually been together since the beginning of the year, going through many training sessions and several large and small tournaments.
The most notable of which is the journey to the U23 Southeast Asian championship more than a month ago in Indonesia.
Therefore, with very careful preparations, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team are expected to bring an impressive performance, thereby taking the top spot in Group C, along with the only direct ticket to Saudi Arabia early next year.
In theory, U23 Vietnam has many advantages, such as a team with even quality, home field advantage and a favorable match schedule. Khuat Van Khang and his teammates will face opponents from easy to difficult.
The opening match against U23 Bangladesh is considered a gentle warm-up. Many predictions lean towards a big win for the home team.
In fact, U23 Vietnam only beat their South Asian opponents by 2 goals. It is worth mentioning that the performance of the Golden Star Warriors certainly still cannot satisfy the fans.
Facing an opponent weaker in every aspect, coach Kim Sang-sik's students still handled the game somewhat erratically and lacked coordination in both attack and defense.
Anyway, that was just the opening match so there are still many opportunities for U23 Vietnam to improve and play better.
The encounter with regional opponents like U23 Singapore will be an important test to see whether the squad under the management of the Korean strategist will become smoother or not.
The primary goal must still be 3 full points, to avoid falling into a disadvantageous situation before the final match of the group with U23 Yemen.
This promises to not be too difficult a task for Dinh Bac and his teammates. The issue that fans are concerned about is probably only the performance of each individual and the team.
U23 Singapore almost created a surprise in the opening match of Group C. The young team from the Lion Island had chances to snatch 1 point after being 2 goals down. But their inability to take advantage of the opportunities meant they had to accept defeat.
Due to not participating in the U23 Southeast Asia, to prepare for the U23 Asian qualifying campaign, U23 Singapore had 2 friendly matches with U23 Malaysia and U23 Philippines. As a result, the team under the direction of coach Firdaus Kassim won 1 and drew 1.
The good results were enough to help U23 Singapore confidently march to the S-shaped strip of land. But against U23 Yemen, the Southeast Asian representative still showed a rather immature face, making many elementary mistakes.
In terms of technique, individual fitness, team operation, and tactical sense, U23 Singapore has not really performed well, making it difficult to bring confidence in the scenario of creating a surprise against the home team.
