Vietnam U17 began their journey in the 2023 AFC U17 Championship finals with a match against India U17. Drawn into a group with Japan U17 and Uzbekistan U17, the opening match is clearly the least difficult challenge for coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team.
Compared to U17 Japan or U17 Uzbekistan, U17 India is clearly a more comfortable opponent. Vietnamese teams are often rated higher than India. However, in youth matches, the difference in skill level is sometimes not reflected in the results on the field due to the instability of inexperienced players.
U17 Vietnam competes in the 2023 AFC U17 Championship.
India U17 is well prepared for the AFC U17 Championship. They played 5 friendly matches against many European opponents, drew with Real Madrid U17 and won 2 times against Atletico Madrid U16. Before that, India U17 qualified with impressive victories against Maldives, Kuwait and Myanmar. Coach Bibiano Fernandes brought a new breeze to India U17 when he applied the 4-3-3 attacking formation.
India U17 has good players in midfield like Tirkey or Meitei. The three players in attack are left forward Lalpekhlua, striker Panwar and captain Singh playing on the right wing. These are the main strikers of this team.
Meanwhile, U17 Vietnam has received many expectations when the leader of the young players is coach Hoang Anh Tuan. U17 Vietnam has many quality players such as goalkeeper Dinh Hai, players such as Long Vu, Dinh Thuong, Cong Phuong, Cong Hau all have experience playing in international youth tournaments in the past few years.
In particular, coach Hoang Anh Tuan has a special card in his hand named Dinh Quang Kiet. The HAGL player is 1m91 tall. Quang Kiet was trained as a center back but can also play as a striker if needed.
With a squad that has many bright spots, U17 Vietnam will clearly aim for victory, even a victory with a large goal difference. This is a suitable calculation before Cong Phuong and his teammates enter two difficult matches against U17 Japan and U17 Uzbekistan.
Prediction: U17 Vietnam 3-1 U17 India
