U23 Asia 2023 live schedule: U23 Vietnam plays against Iraq – Graphic: AN BINH
Of course, U23 Iraq is rated higher than U23 Vietnam in the early morning match on April 27. U23 Iraq ended the group stage at the top of Group C – where U23 Saudi Arabia, Thailand and Tajikistan are present.
U23 Iraq lost to Thailand in the first match, but they showed strong progress and won the next two matches.
U23 Iraq is a big challenge for U23 Vietnam. Although coach Hoang Anh Tuan’s team has passed the group stage, it has not been able to make fans truly feel secure.
U23 Vietnam’s playing style is quite skewed and lacks definition. However, fans still have the right to wait, U23 Vietnam will transform in the quarterfinals against U23 Iraq.
Only then will U23 Vietnam have a chance to overcome opponents from West Asia.
In the remaining quarterfinals, U23 Uzbekistan will face U23 Saudi Arabia.
This is a rematch of the 2022 Asian U23 final, where U23 Saudi Arabia defeated U23 Uzbekistan to win the championship. In this rematch, things will become very unpredictable. Both teams are very strong and are considered evenly matched.
However, U23 Uzbekistan’s performance seems to be better and that is the basis for the defending runner-up team to be more confident.
