Vietnam has won the Southeast Asian U23 Championship twice in a row, with the most recent being a dramatic victory over Indonesia in the final (winning 6-5 in a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw).

In this reunion, U23 Indonesia is considered to be better thanks to the home field advantage, as well as the impressive performance that coach Gerald Vanenburg and his team have shown since the beginning of the tournament.

Despite facing an extremely difficult schedule - being in the same group as Malaysia and the Philippines in the group stage, then meeting Thailand in the semi-finals, Indonesia has remained undefeated so far.

Not only that, Indonesia has only conceded one goal in the tournament, which was when Thailand took the lead in the semi-final. Overall, it was a match in which Indonesia played better, creating more chances.

Therefore, bookmakers rate Indonesia as the upper hand in this match, with a handicap of 0.25 goals for the whole match and equal in the first half.

On the other hand, the over/under ratio for the whole match is 2 goals, in the first half it is 0.75 goals. This is an extremely low over level, coming from Indonesia's solid defense. In the final of the 2023 tournament, U23 Vietnam and Indonesia drew goalless in the official match time.

However, in this reunion, U23 Indonesia promises to play more aggressively with home field advantage.

In the last 5 encounters at the U23 level, Vietnam still dominated Indonesia with 4 wins and 1 draw (only counting official match time). Of which, 2 times Vietnam won by 3 goals.

Physical strength is the advantage of U23 Vietnam in this match, when Indonesia went through a fierce battle with Thailand, and was also exhausted from the group stage.

Score prediction: 0-0 draw in the first half, Vietnam win 1-0 in the end.
