After two draws against U17 Australia and U17 Japan, U17 Vietnam entered the decisive match against U17 UAE. To win a ticket to the next round and a place at the 2025 World Cup, coach Cristiano Roland's team only has the path to victory over their opponents.

The match is predicted to be very difficult for U17 Vietnam because U17 UAE also did everything to reach the quarterfinals. In the previous match, the West Asian team not only played well on offense, but also played a very tight defense, thereby defeating U17 Australia 2-0.

What U17 UAE showed in the victory over U17 Australia showed that this team has significantly improved in terms of expertise and fighting spirit, compared to the heavy 1-4 loss to U17 Japan on the opening day. Notably, in terms of tactics, U17 UAE used a 4-2-3-1 formation against U17 Australia, instead of 5-3-2 like against U17 Japan.

Against U17 Vietnam, U17 UAE will likely not push the pace of the match but will play while... waiting for the U17 Japan vs U17 Australia match. In theory, U17 UAE only needs a draw to advance.

Not only do they have advantages in terms of physique and physical strength, the U17 UAE players are also very technical. Obviously, this is an opponent that the U17 Vietnam team must be well prepared for in order to come up with suitable tactics.

In the previous two matches, in addition to their professional progress, U17 Vietnam also showed their unyielding fighting spirit. Before the decisive match with U17 UAE, Gia Bao affirmed that he and his teammates will play as if they have nothing to lose and are confident of winning.

If they do not defeat U17 UAE, the two commendable draws of U17 Vietnam against Australia and Japan will lose much of their meaning. That is the reason why coach Cristiano Roland's team will definitely play with 200% of their strength to win, making the World Cup dream come true.

Expected lineup of U17 Vietnam: Xuan Tin, Viet Anh, Hong Quang, Tan Dung, Viet Long, Van Khanh, Duy Khang, Anh Kiet, Van Duong, Hong Phong, Van Bach.
