The U22 Vietnam team is not yet finished at the SEA Games 32. The bronze medal match is an opportunity for coach Philippe Troussier to redeem himself and regain confidence after the defeat against U22 Indonesia in the semi-finals. Ending the tournament with a victory could somewhat alleviate the disappointment of the players and fans.
"Every medal is precious" is the message that the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) is sending to the national team. Huynh Cong Den and his teammates need to think this way. They must understand that the U22 Vietnam team hasn't lost the gold medal they already have; they are pursuing a title with nothing to show for it.
Vietnam U22 aims for the bronze medal at the 32nd SEA Games.
In the match against U22 Myanmar, coach Philippe Troussier will most likely shuffle the lineup. The bronze medal match is usually an opportunity for coaches to give all players a chance to play. Besides, the French coach also has professional reasons for making adjustments.
The U22 Vietnam team suffered another injury to Nguyen Thanh Nhan after the semi-final match. Furthermore, some players have not performed well throughout the SEA Games 32 campaign. Other players need to be given a chance to create a "new wave" in the team.

In terms of playing style, the Vietnam U22 team is gradually improving in their ability to control the game and put pressure on opponents. Their problem lies in their ability to make appropriate decisions, while their defense is a weakness. Besides the issue of playing style, the players' mentality is a problem that coach Troussier must address at this time.
Vietnam U22 is considered stronger than Myanmar U22. While they posed a challenge to Thailand U22 in the semi-finals, overall they are still considered inferior. Myanmar U22 also didn't perform particularly well in the group stage. However, in youth-level tournaments, player inconsistency is a factor that can lead to surprises.
Prediction: Vietnam U22 2-0 Myanmar U22
