Lineup
Pre-match information
The U23 Vietnam team will face U23 Cambodia in the final match of Group B at the 2025 U23 Southeast Asian Championship. This is the match that will decide the ticket to the semi-finals for both teams.
Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team have a huge advantage when they beat U23 Laos in the opening match. Currently, Khuat Van Khang and his teammates have 3 points, only need a draw to continue with the top spot in Group B.
On the contrary, U23 Cambodia must beat U23 Vietnam to reach the semi-finals. However, this is not an easy challenge for this team.
Through the 1-1 draw against Laos, it is easy to see that U23 Cambodia's playing style is not yet complete and needs to change if they do not want to stop early.
Regarding the force, except for Dinh Bac having some physical problems, coach Kim Sang-sik still ensures the number of players in hand. The problem for the Korean coach is to arrange personnel reasonably not only in the upcoming match against Cambodia but also in the direction of the semi-finals a few days later.
U23 Vietnam also had another reason to beat Cambodia. On the one hand, Mr. Kim wants his students to play more convincingly than in the win over Laos U23. On the other hand, the Korean coach asked the whole team to continue to maintain stability in mentality and competitive spirit. Thereby, the team was given more confidence before entering the semi-finals of the tournament.
