Football prediction U17 Vietnam vs U17 Uzbekistan: Must win mission

Vietnam U17 only got one point after the first two matches, ranking last in Group D. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan U17 got 4 points, ranking second. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan U17 shared the leading position with Japan U17 with 4 points.

Coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team have not run out of chances to advance, but to do so they must defeat U17 Uzbekistan to ensure the necessary conditions. The sufficient condition is a favorable result in the match between U17 Japan and U17 India.

Football prediction U17 Vietnam vs U17 Uzbekistan: Must win mission - 1 — U17 Vietnam still has a chance to continue.

However, this task is not easy for U17 Vietnam. The youth teams as well as the national team level of Uzbekistan are always rated higher than the representatives of the same age of Vietnamese football.

In their 9 appearances at the AFC U17 Championship, Uzbekistan U17 won the championship in 2012, finished second in 2010 and advanced past the group stage four other times. The strengths of the young Uzbeksian players are their simple, patient style of play, with efficiency being their top priority.

However, compared to Japan U17, Uzbekistan U17 may not be as strong even though they managed to get a draw. That was a match where Uzbekistan U17 suffered for the entire 90 minutes and only scored thanks to a rare moment of weakness from their opponents. In the match against India U17, the Central Asian team was stuck for most of the time.

Football prediction U17 Vietnam vs U17 Uzbekistan: Must win mission - 2 — U17 Vietnam must win to hope for a chance to continue.

Against such an opponent, U17 Vietnam needs to perform better than the loss to U17 Japan. Coach Hoang Anh Tuan's players showed good ball control and coordination in the midfield, but were unable to create breakthroughs in attacks.

That was also the main reason why U17 Vietnam dropped the victory against U17 India. In the match against U17 Japan, coach Hoang Anh Tuan's students also maintained a good game, but when they needed to attack to find an equalizer, they were stuck and conceded consecutive goals when they no longer had enough energy to play football.

Facing U17 Uzbekistan, U17 Vietnam was under pressure to win. Nguyen Cong Phuong and his teammates had to attack and score goals when they had nothing to lose.
