With Van Tung absent, Van Do still starts.

Several key players from the previous matches of the Vietnam U22 team did not start in the bronze medal match against Myanmar U22. Coach Philippe Troussier used Doan Huy Hoang, Khuat Van Khang, Le Quoc Nhat Nam, Luong Duy Cuong, and Nguyen Van Truong to replace Tran Quang Thinh, Nguyen Thanh Nhan, Nguyen Van Tung, Nguyen Duc Phu, and Quan Van Chuan.

Striker Thanh Nhàn suffered an injury in the match against U22 Indonesia. A collision with an Indonesian U22 player caused him ankle pain. Meanwhile, Nguyễn Văn Tùng also suffered a recurrence of an old injury. The striker's injury is not serious; he could play, but coach Troussier decided not to take any risks. While Thanh Nhàn and Văn Tùng are absent, Nguyễn Quốc Việt may return. The HAGL striker recovered faster than expected and was included in the squad list. However, it's not certain that Quốc Việt will be used. In Thanh Nhàn's position, coach Troussier chose Khuất Văn Khang. Meanwhile, the center forward for U22 Vietnam in the SEA Games 32 men's football bronze medal match will be Nguyễn Văn Trường. Coach Troussier continues to trust Lê Văn Đô in the attack. This midfielder has been disappointing in the SEA Games 32 matches and is one of the most criticized players of U22 Vietnam.

Nguyen Van Tung was not registered to compete.

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.

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.
