The highlight of the 2025 U23 Southeast Asian Cup group stage today (July 19) is the match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Laos in Group B, taking place at 5:00 p.m. Accordingly, this is only the opening match of coach Kim Sang-sik and his team, while the opponent will enter the second round.
Basically, U23 Vietnam has a better force and expertise than its opponent, but that is not a subjective thing. Khuat Van Khang and his teammates need to focus to the maximum, deploy reasonable tactics and especially overcome the effective counter-attacking defensive style of the team from the land of a million elephants.
The remaining match is the confrontation between U23 Thailand and U23 Timor Leste in Group A. Of course, the representative of the Golden Temple country is considered to be superior to the opponent in all aspects, but it cannot be denied that Timor Leste has also made significant progress in recent times.
This is also the opening match of the U23 Thailand team, so they are determined to seek the first victory in this year's tournament.
Southeast Asian U23 match schedule 2025 today, July 18:
