Comments on U22 Philippines vs U22 Indonesia, 6:00 p.m. December 8: A heavy dose of testing

TPO - Football commentary on the match between U22 Philippines and U22 Indonesia taking place at 6:00 p.m. on December 8 in Group C of the men's football SEA Games 33. After the victory over U22 Myanmar, U22 Philippines is full of spirit to enter the decisive match against Indonesia in Group C.

Prediction before the match U22 Philippines vs U22 Indonesia

In Group C, U22 Philippines had a convincing 2-0 victory over U22 Myanmar in the opening match. This was not a surprising result as Myanmar's national teams have clearly declined in recent years. Meanwhile, before the 33rd SEA Games, U22 Philippines was considered a potential challenge with a squad consisting of many players playing abroad.

The match against U22 Philippines will be a strong enough test for the strength of U22 Indonesia at SEA Games 33. Before the tournament, the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI), U22 Indonesia coach and the country's media have firmly set the goal of defending the title of men's football at SEA Games 33.

Indonesia's professional tournaments have been suspended so that the U22 team can fully prepare for the 33rd SEA Games. Under the influence of PSSI, U22 Indonesia has focused on the team that is considered the strongest possible for them. Marselino Ferdinan's failure to join the team at the last minute before the tournament is a scratch for U22 Indonesia. But overall, this is still a strong team.

On the other hand, facing U22 Indonesia is also an opportunity for U22 Philippines to prove their strength with a squad of 13 players playing abroad. Against U22 Myanmar, U22 Philippines showed good cohesion, played diverse attacks and maintained a cohesive squad in a 4-4-2 formation. However, the victory over U22 Myanmar does not say much for U22 Philippines. Against U22 Indonesia, things will be different for the team under coach McPherson.

Form, head-to-head record U22 Philippines vs U22 Indonesia

At the 32nd SEA Games, U22 Indonesia defeated U22 Philippines 3-0 in the group stage. That was a match in which U22 Indonesia completely outplayed a U22 Philippines that lacked cohesion. After 2 years, U22 Philippines' strength is considered better and this team set a goal of reaching the semi-finals of the SEA Games for the first time in history.

U22 Philippines has warmed up since the match with U22 Myanmar, while U22 Indonesia has had a long break before playing the first match. This is a small advantage for U22 Philippines as their preparation for the big match is quite good. Meanwhile, U22 Indonesia had to quickly change their plan because Ferdinan could not return.

Ferdinan's absence is the only point of interest for the two teams. The rest of the U22 Philippines and U22 Indonesia squads will be ready to play.

Expected lineup:

U22 Philippines: Guimaraes, Leddel, Reyes, Monis, Rosquillo, Dylan, Moins, Ortega, Mariona, Banatao, Santiago.

U22 Indonesia: Daffa, Kadek, Kakang, Markx, Cahyana, Jenner, Pakpahan, Dony, Arjuna, Mauro, Struick.

Score prediction: U22 Philippines 0-1 U22 Indonesia.
