Comments on U22 Vietnam vs U22 Uzbekistan, 2:30 p.m. November 15: Continuing the upward momentum

TPO - Football commentary U22 Vietnam vs U22 Uzbekistan, Panda Cup 2025 - Information on forces, expected lineup, performance, history of confrontation. After the victory over China, U22 Vietnam is confident enough and has enough force to be ready to cause difficulties for U22 Uzbekistan.

Comments before the match U22 Vietnam vs U22 Uzbekistan

The Vietnam U22 team witnessed positive signs in the opening match of the 2025 Panda Cup friendly tournament. The team played scientifically and disciplined, causing the Chinese U22 team to leave empty-handed despite dominating in statistical indicators.

There is no denying that the only goal Vietnam scored came from a Chinese defender’s elementary mistake when he carelessly cleared the ball, allowing Minh Phuc to easily score. But it was a worthy result after the pressure Vietnam maintained throughout the match against China.

In terms of clear chances, Vietnam was not inferior to its opponents. Van Khang and Thanh Nhan threatened the home team’s defense many times. That was a match where Vietnam could not even field their strongest lineup when players like Dinh Bac and Van Do were not physically fit enough to play.

Meanwhile, U22 Uzbekistan suffered a defeat against South Korea in their opening match. Although they know that losing to a team like South Korea is not a shameful thing, Uzbekistan still affects their position. Remember, this is the cradle of youth training in Asia. At many times, Uzbekistan even achieved better results than South Korea's youth football.

Form, head-to-head history of U22 Vietnam vs U22 Uzbekistan

Perhaps the problem with this team is the strength of the squad, as they did not bring their best squad to the tournament. Some players who are playing in Russia or Turkey did not participate in the tournament for various reasons. Their squad is mainly U20, most of whom play in the Uzbekistan domestic league.

Even so, Uzbekistan is certainly still rated much higher than Vietnam. In fact, in previous confrontations, Vietnam has never won. For example, in the group stage match of the U23 Asia tournament last year, Van Truong and Thai Son lost 3 goals to zero, without creating any reaction against the opponent.

However, when they met again in a friendly tournament in China last March, due to lack of force, Uzbekistan could only draw 0-0 with Vietnam. That year's tournament, Uzbekistan disappointed when they could not beat two teams that were considered weaker, China and Vietnam, while they lost heavily to Korea.

Losing 1 match against Korea may be an accident, but losing 2 consecutive matches shows that there are many problems in this team. Therefore, U22 Vietnam will have the opportunity to continue to cause surprises against U22 Uzbekistan.

Expected lineup U22 Vietnam vs U22 Uzbekistan

U22 Vietnam: Van Binh, Nhat Minh, Ly Duc, Hieu Minh, Anh Quan, Xuan Bac, Van Truong, Quoc Viet, Van Khang, Cong Phuong, Thanh Nhan.

U22 Uzbekistan : Murkaev, Khamidov, Khayrullaev, Tukhsanov, Rahimov, Rejabaliev, Tulkunbekov, Karimov, Abdullaev, Ibraimov, Haydarov.

Score prediction: U22 Vietnam 1-1 U22 Uzbekistan
