Football prediction U23 Tajikistan vs U23 Vietnam: Need more goals

U23 Vietnam played the second friendly match against U23 Tajikistan according to the training plan to prepare for the 2024 U23 Asian finals.

In the first leg, Cong Den and his teammates won with a minimum score of 1-0 thanks to a free kick by Le Quoc Nhat Nam. That situation showed the quality of this midfielder but also came from a mistake by goalkeeper Safarmad.

The U23 Vietnam team will go to Tajikistan without many important stars currently playing for the Vietnam national team such as Thai Son, Minh Trong, Van Tung, Tuan Tai, Van Khang and Van Viet. Therefore, this will be an opportunity for some players who are not yet "sure" of participating in the U23 Asian finals to show themselves.

U23 Vietnam aims to defeat U23 Tajikistan away.

Coach Moulay, who will replace Troussier, will make some necessary personnel adjustments to ensure that the players have equal playing time. Unlike some tournaments of the national team, U23 Vietnam is playing friendly matches and has the right to experiment to the maximum. The philosophy of playing football is something that everyone knows, this is the time for them to show what makes them different from their colleagues.

In goal, Doan Huy Hoang will be given the opportunity to replace Van Chuan. The defense may see the appearance of Nguyen Hoang, Van Cuong, Van Phuong or Duy Cuong to replace the defenders who played in the first match.

Having been eliminated in a few recent training sessions, Cong Den can play alongside Minh Khoa. On the attack line, Nguyen Minh Quang with his "wild" nature will play the role of main striker. He is supported by wingers like Quoc Viet and Ngoc Long.

On the other side of the front line, U23 Tajikistan still kept the same style of playing with power and speed. The home team is not strong in using individual techniques and they have no reason to try to apply their weaknesses. Aerial balls are a reasonable way to score for U23 Tajikistan when the height of U23 Vietnam defenders is not very impressive.

Expected lineup:

U23 Tajikistan: Safarmad, Fakhriddin, Khaidar, Rahmatshoh, Shohrukh, Tohirjon, Azibek, Shuhrat, Sharifbek, Faridun, Mehron.
