Lineups to start
Pre-match information
U19 Vietnam will face U19 Indonesia in the last round of Group A of the 2026 U19 Southeast Asian Championship in the competition for the top spot and a ticket to the semi-finals.
After the first two matches, coach Yutaka Ikeuchi's team is temporarily leading the group with 6 points and a goal difference of +8, slightly better than U19 Indonesia (+6). Thanks to this advantage, U19 Vietnam only needs a draw to maintain the number one position in the group and win the right to continue.
In the opposite direction, U19 Indonesia does not have many choices. The home team must win if they want to overcome Vietnam. In case they only finish second, they will have to compete with other second-placed teams to find a place in the semi-finals, while the tournament only reserves one ticket for the second-placed team with the best results.
U19 Indonesia is highly rated thanks to home advantage along with physical strength and speed. However, this team also showed some unstable points in the past two matches, especially in the ability to take advantage of opportunities and the connection between the lines.
On the side of U19 Vietnam, the young players are maintaining positive form with two consecutive victories. The defense has played more solidly after the adjustments of the coaching staff, while the attacking options are still effective.
With the opponent forced to push high to find a goal, U19 Vietnam has the opportunity to exploit the gap with quick counter-attacks. If they maintain focus and make good use of the opportunities created, coach Yutaka Ikeuchi's team can completely achieve the goal of winning the top spot in Group A.
