“This is the SEA Games where teams have to play the fewest matches. With U22 Vietnam , we still have 8 days off after the opening match against U22 Laos. With the new format, U22 Vietnam must win the top spot in the group to be sure to enter the semi-finals.

The distance between the match schedules forced coach Kim Sang Sik and his team to make reasonable adjustments. For a young team, excitement is very important. Many young players rest for just one day to continue playing rather than rest for more than a week like this. In such a situation, I think coach Kim is still doing well with his physical exercises and hitting the target," commented commentator Quang Huy.

According to commentator Quang Huy, Lao football has made progress in recent times, but it is not yet capable of becoming a worthy opponent of U22 Vietnam at the SEA Games.

“We have seen Lao football change for quite some time now, but like many football scenes in Southeast Asia, progress has been slow and inconsistent.

Most teams in the region do not have a connection between this generation and the next, lacking a system, so progress is uneven. We respect our opponents, but U22 Vietnam clearly came to the SEA Games with a strong squad, with many players playing regularly in the V-League and participating in international tournaments.

In just one month, this same group of players will participate in the 2026 AFC U23 Championship, and I hope Vietnam will once again create a miracle. As for the SEA Games, of course the goal of U22 Vietnam is nothing other than the championship, but let's just relax and play to our full potential," said commentator Quang Huy.

In U22 Vietnam, commentator Quang Huy hopes Dinh Bac can make a difference: "I really look forward to Dinh Bac with his ability to score goals. This is a type of player that is not available much even in the national team. Dinh Bac is a very rare type and in difficult times, he can be the one to make a difference."

Predicting the result of the match between U22 Vietnam and U22 Laos, commentator Quang Huy said: “I think we need to have a “good start” in the opening match. The goal of coach Kim Sang Sik and his team in both group stage matches is to win to advance. In this match, U22 Vietnam winning by 2-3 goals is reasonable.”

The match between U22 Vietnam and U22 Laos will kick off at 4:00 p.m. on December 3 at Rajamangala Stadium (Bangkok, Thailand).
