Both U23 Vietnam and U23 Iraq had 2 wins and 1 loss in the group stage. U23 Vietnam scored 5 goals and conceded 4 times, while U23 Iraq conceded 6 times and conceded 5 goals.
Both teams faced each other, recreating the quarterfinals of the 2018 Asian U23 tournament in Changzhou (China). In this competition, U23 Vietnam was rated lower than their opponents in both strength and expertise.
Besides, the biggest problem of U23 Vietnam is psychology. It is true that Van Khang and his teammates are unlikely to reach the same quality as Vietnam’s U23 team that participated in the tournament in Changzhou 6 years ago, but some players are still strong enough to carry the team at a very young age.
Meanwhile, U23 Iraq brought to the tournament a squad with a series of national players such as midfielder Tasheen, midfielder Muntadher Maslookhi and especially attacking star Ali Jasim.
U23 Vietnam must play with 100% ability, even more to hope to create a surprise against U23 Iraq. For a match in a youth tournament, any scenario can happen.
The match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Iraq takes place at 00:30 on April 27.
