Prediction U20 Uzbekistan vs U20 Iraq

Thanks to their scientific playing tactics and home field advantage, U20 Uzbekistan convincingly entered the final of the U20 Asian Cup. Meanwhile, U20 Iraq caused a surprise when they eliminated two "giants" U20 Iran and U20 Japan with their eye-catching attacking style. With their performances, both U20 Uzbekistan and U20 Iraq are two names worthy of a dream final match at the 2023 U20 Asian Cup.

Uzbekistan is one of the football nations with the best youth training systems in Asia. This was once again proven by the brilliant performance of the country's U20 players at the 2023 AFC U20 Championship finals. With home field advantage, U20 Uzbekistan easily won the top spot in Group A with 7 points after 3 matches (winning 2 victories against U20 Iraq, U20 Syria and drawing with U20 Indonesia).

Live football U20 Uzbekistan 0-0 U20 Iraq: Home team presses the field - 3 — U20 Uzbekistan has home advantage.

Entering the quarter-finals, U20 Uzbekistan overcame U20 Australia in a tense penalty shootout. However, the semi-final was a real challenge for the home team when they had to face U20 Korea. Once again, U20 Uzbekistan's mettle was demonstrated when they defeated their opponents on penalties to win a ticket to the final.

In this year's tournament, no team has a defense as solid as U20 Uzbekistan. After 5 matches, they have only conceded 1 goal. Reasonable team formation and pragmatic defensive counter-attacking style of play are the strong points in coach Ravshan Khaydarov's tactics.

If we were to choose the team that caused the most surprise in the 2023 AFC U20 Championship, Iraq U20 would definitely be the most deserving name. In the group stage, Iraq U20 was lucky to get through the "narrow door" when they were only better than Indonesia U20 in the secondary index, thereby winning a ticket to the quarterfinals. After the group stage, this West Asian team wrote a fairy tale in the quarterfinals and semi-finals.

In the round of 8 strongest teams, coach Emad Mohammed's team defeated championship candidate Iran with a last minute goal from Jasim. Surprise after surprise, they played brilliantly against another championship candidate, U20 Japan, and won a ticket to the final match.

It was surprising, but the performance of U20 Iraq against strong teams like U20 Iran or U20 Japan was not inferior. Coach Mohammed and his team are ready to play an open game and do not hesitate to impose their playing style on the field of big teams. The U20 Iraq attack is also in good form with 6 goals after 5 matches and will be a big challenge for the solid defense of U20 Uzbekistan.
