* PRE-MATCH PREDICTIONS U.23 VIETNAM - U.23 UZBEKISTAN

Yesterday, November 14, the interim coach of U.23 Vietnam, Dinh Hong Vinh, held a technical and analytical meeting about the U.23 Uzbekistan team. Although they lost 0-2 to U.23 Korea in the first match, U.23 Uzbekistan is still a very strong opponent.

In fact, over the past few years, Uzbekistan has been one of the fastest growing football nations in Asia. They have won their first ticket to the 2026 World Cup. Their youth teams regularly make it deep into the Asian finals, showing that their youth training is very solid.

Interim coach Dinh Hong Vinh assessed: "U.23 Uzbekistan is a team with very good quality, strong physical foundation, disciplined play and very clear tactical organization. They press fiercely, change state quickly and are especially dangerous in attacking situations on the flanks, in the middle and in the air.

Compared to the previous confrontation, U.23 Uzbekistan still maintained the important characteristics: strong physical strength, direct playing style, and a stable frame in all lines. The difference is that this time they have a few new young players, move more and approach the match more flexibly, especially changing the speed in the transition phase.

We have carefully analyzed their limitations with the players and will have suitable plans for the next match. We respect our opponents, but U.23 Vietnam has also made clear progress in terms of organization, spirit and tactical thinking."

In the second match of Panda Cup 2025, Dinh Bac, after a match off, is ready to return to the official lineup, playing as the highest striker in the attack of the U.23 Vietnam team when welcoming U.23 Uzbekistan. With good physique and pressing ability, the striker of Hanoi Police Club promises to create enough pressure on the opponent's defense. His mobility will help the surrounding satellites to exploit more spaces, especially the crosses from the two wings.

In addition, Mr. Dinh Hong Vinh is expected to rotate the squad so that the players can take turns playing. The two wings will also be renewed with Phi Hoang and Minh Phuc, while striker Van Thuan is likely to start. In the middle of the field, Quoc Cuong will be given the opportunity to start, replacing Xuan Bac who was injured and had to leave the field after the first half of the match against U.23 China .

Coach Dinh Hong Vinh shared: "Xuan Bac has been thoroughly examined by the medical team. His condition is good. We will monitor the last training session before the match to make the most appropriate decision. We will definitely have a few adjustments, mainly in the way of controlling space, pressing each area and the ability to handle transitions. The level of adjustment depends on the actual developments and the condition of each player.

I always want the players to promote their strengths while still ensuring the tactical balance of the whole team. The coaching staff of U.23 Vietnam prioritizes creating opportunities for the players to play, because this tournament is an important occasion to comprehensively evaluate the force in preparation for the 33rd SEA Games and the U.23 Asian Cup .
