Before the first match of Group C, experts also assessed U22 Philippines as the weaker team compared to U22 Myanmar.

But the 90 minutes that followed really surprised the fans. U22 Philippines not only won convincingly with a score of 2-0, but they also completely dominated their opponents.

Not Thailand's resounding victory over Timor Leste, but the Philippines' victory over Myanmar was the most convincing victory since the beginning of the tournament.

Against an opponent that was considered to be quite good in the region, the Filipino players surprised everyone by completely dominating the game. They scored 2 goals from typical wing attacks, and could have scored more goals if they had been luckier.

Surprisingly, the bookies still rate Indonesia as superior in tonight's match. Specifically, U22 Indonesia is given a handicap of 1.5 goals for the whole match, and 0.5 goals in the first half. The over/under ratio for the whole match is 3 goals, and in the first half is 1.25 goals.

In fact, Indonesia often dominates the Philippines in youth football competitions. At the 32nd SEA Games, Indonesia won the Philippines 3-0 in the group stage, and when the two teams met at the 31st SEA Games, the result was even 4-0.

But at the national team level, the Philippines is not inferior to Indonesia, with the most recent clash being a 1-0 victory for the Philippines, within the framework of the ASEAN Cup 2024.

At the youth level, the Philippines are often outclassed by Indonesia due to their inexperience. But after a spirited performance against Myanmar, this year’s contest promises to be different.

The Philippines is at a physical disadvantage in this match, as they just played a few days ago. Therefore, the Philippines can choose a tight counter-attacking style of play.

The 2-0 win over Myanmar gives the Philippines a huge advantage. With this result, the Philippines only needs a draw with Indonesia to secure a ticket to the next round.

Because at that time they have 4 points, have many chances to win the group. And even if they fall to second place (if Indonesia wins big against Myanmar later), the Philippines will still hold the position for the second-placed team with the best record.

Therefore, U22 Philippines promises to play a thorough defense to find a draw in this match.

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