After two matches of Group B of the 2025 AFC U17 Championship, Japan U17 temporarily leads with 4 points, followed by UAE U17 (3 points), Vietnam U17 (2 points) and Australia U17 (1 point).

This means that U17 Vietnam must beat U17 UAE to advance to the quarterfinals and win a ticket to the 2025 U17 World Cup.

This is not an easy task as U17 UAE is considered stronger than U17 Vietnam. However, with impressive performances against Australia and Japan, Vietnamese fans can fully hope for a victory for their team.

The strength that helped U17 Vietnam play well in the two draws with Australia (1-1) and Japan (1-1) was patience and not being swept away by the opponent's playing style.

Thanks to that, U17 Vietnam did not collapse when conceding a goal and then found an equalizer. Against UAE, U17 Vietnam needs to be even more calm, play slowly and steadily. First of all, U17 Vietnam players must keep a clean sheet before thinking about winning.

After ensuring the stability of the home field, U17 Vietnam must deploy reasonable tactics to approach the UAE goal. The most obvious weakness of U17 UAE is the defense that lacks organization, is not tight and constantly makes positional errors.

Therefore, U17 Vietnam should take advantage of flank attacks and low crosses to exploit this weakness. This is what U17 Japan did very well against UAE. After that, U17 Australia also did this well but unfortunately their finishing was too poor.

Tuoi Tre Online will broadcast the match live from 9:30 pm tonight, April 10 here. We invite readers to watch and support the Vietnam U17 team.
