U17 Vietnam entered the final match of Group C of the 2026 U17 Asian qualifiers with a big advantage when holding the top spot. This means that the home team only needs a draw to officially qualify for the final round, while U17 Malaysia must win.
In addition to a favorable position on the rankings, coach Cristiano Roland's team also plays at home with the support of thousands of spectators, which can create more excitement and confidence for the young players.
However, the professional factor is the most important factor in this match. In terms of playing style, U17 Vietnam showed their effectiveness in each match, especially in their ability to control the midfield to limit the opponent's attack. Not conceding any goals reflects stability, but it is also necessary to recognize that the recent opponents have not really put pressure on the home team's defense.
U17 Malaysia promises to bring a bigger challenge, because their attack is quite flexible, combining both the midfield and the two wings well. This team also has individuals who can make a breakthrough, notably Iman Danish - the player who scored in all 4 matches with a total of 7 goals.
The match between U17 Vietnam and U17 Malaysia takes place at 19:00 today (November 30) and will be broadcast live on FPT Play.
