Form of U17 Vietnam vs U17 Hong Kong (China)
Vietnam U17 is having an impressive start in Group C, the 2026 AFC U17 qualifiers. After a brilliant opening match, crushing Singapore U17 6-0, the team under the direction of coach Cristiano Roland continued to reap another resounding victory.
Facing the weakest opponent in the U17 Northern Mariana Islands group, U17 Vietnam completed the mission quite perfectly. In addition to the "destructive" 14-0 victory to overcome U17 Malaysia, rising to the top of the table, the home team also kept their optimal force.
Facing a very weak opponent, Coach Roland freely implemented the rotation plan, creating conditions for the pillars to have more time to rest, while the reserve factors were also given the opportunity to show themselves. In the context of a dense match schedule, with a frequency of up to 2 days/match, maintaining a good enough physical foundation for the players is really important.
Facing JJJ, the goal of U17 Vietnam is of course still 3 full points. The task is somewhat more difficult than the two previous appearances, but with superiority in all aspects, the Golden Star Warriors are more than capable of bringing more joy to the home fans.
Looking at the past performances of the teams in Group C, it is easy to see that JJJ is the most prominent face that can "put a spoke in the wheel" in the two-horse race between U17 Vietnam and U17 Malaysia. In the opening match, coach Takuro Hosaka and his team easily defeated their neighbors U17 Macao (China) 2-0.
In the second round, JJJ caused a lot of trouble for U17 Malaysia with their organized play, strong defense and the players themselves also possessing good individual technical foundation. Only because of a moment of indecisive defense in the penalty area, JJJ conceded the only goal of the match.
Although the upcoming opponent has somewhat demonstrated their ability and progress compared to previous youth teams from Hong Kong (China), the possibility of U17 Vietnam letting any surprises happen is not high.
The away team can play well at times but is not consistent. The uniformity in the positions on the field is also not high. Not to mention, in terms of physical foundation, the students under coach Hosaka are not only difficult to compete with the home team, but also at a disadvantage due to having just gone through a difficult match with U17 Malaysia.
Overall, as long as they maintain their focus and don't waste too many opportunities, the task of winning 3 points is completely in the hands of Nguyen Luc and his teammates.
