After the first two matches of the 2025 U17 Asian Cup, U17 Vietnam has 2 points against U17 Australia and U17 Japan. That is a commendable result for coach Cristiano Roland and his team when the team fell into a difficult group.
U17 Vietnam is loyal to their counter-attacking defensive style of play. Although they are behind their opponents in terms of technique and physique, their spirit of not giving up has helped the young players of U17 Vietnam overcome difficulties. In both matches, Viet Anh and her teammates were behind, but they took advantage of the opportunity to equalize.
U17 Vietnam is currently ranked 3rd on the Group B rankings with 2 points. U17 Japan leads with 4 points. The second place belongs to U17 UAE with 3 points, while U17 Australia is at the bottom of the table with 1 point.
The "Golden Star Warriors" will have a ticket to the U17 World Cup only if they defeat U17 UAE in the upcoming match. If they draw or lose to their West Asian opponents, Mr. Roland and his team will have to stop in the group stage.
U17 UAE is a well-philized opponent, but has still revealed its weaknesses in attack in the past 2 matches. If they focus on defense, limiting mistakes, and being sharp when given the opportunity, U17 Vietnam has a chance to win, advance to the quarter-finals of the 2025 Asian Cup and win a ticket to the U17 World Cup this year.
The match between U17 Vietnam and U17 UAE in Group B of the 2025 U17 Asian Cup finals will take place at 22:00 on April 10.
Score prediction: U17 Vietnam 2-1 U17 UAE.
