On the evening of July 22, U23 Vietnam will enter the final match of the group stage of the 2025 U23 Southeast Asian Championship, against U23 Cambodia.
This is an important match for coach Kim Sang-sik and his team in their journey to qualify for the next round.
The goalkeeper of U23 Vietnam is likely to continue to be goalkeeper Tran Trung Kien.
The defense of U23 Vietnam was maintained stably with 3 central defenders: Nguyen Hieu Minh - who scored a double in the win over Laos, Nguyen Duc Anh and Ly Duc.
On the two wings, Phi Hoang will continue to take charge of the right wing while Vo Anh Quan, a player playing for Phu Dong Ninh Binh club, will play on the left wing.
The midfield is still a familiar pair of Nguyen Thai Son and Nguyen Van Truong, creating a foundation for ball control and distribution for the team.
Up front, Le Van Thuan is considered to start on the right wing, Dinh Bac works on the opposite side, while Quoc Viet continues to play the role of center forward.
Although U23 Cambodia did not leave much of an impression in the match against U23 Laos, coach Kim Sang-sik and his students still maintain a cautious attitude.
The goal of U23 Vietnam is to win to ensure the top spot in the group and have the best preparation for the knockout round.
With a force of many players who have fought in major tournaments such as Quoc Viet, Van Truong, Van Khang or Thai Son, U23 Vietnam is expected to complete the task.
Expected lineup of U23 Vietnam: Tran Trung Kien, Nguyen Hieu Minh, Nguyen Duc Anh, Pham Ly Duc, Vo Anh Quan, Nguyen Phi Hoang, Nguyen Thai Son, Nguyen Van Truong, Le Van Thuan, Nguyen Quoc Viet, Nguyen Dinh Bac.
