U22 Vietnam has not finished its mission at SEA Games 32. The bronze medal match is an opportunity for coach Philippe Troussier to redeem his title and confidence after the defeat against U22 Indonesia in the semi-finals. Ending the tournament with a win can somewhat ease the sadness of the players as well as the fans.

"Every medal is precious" is the message that the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) sent to the home team. Huynh Cong Den and his teammates need to think like that. They must understand that U22 Vietnam did not lose the gold medal in their hands but is looking for a title with nothing.

In the match against U22 Myanmar, coach Philippe Troussier is likely to change his squad. The bronze medal match is often an opportunity for coaches to give all players a chance to play. Besides, the French coach also has professional reasons to make adjustments.

U22 Vietnam has another injury case of Nguyen Thanh Nhan after the semi-final match. On the other hand, some players did not perform well throughout the journey at SEA Games 32. Other faces need to be given the opportunity to create a "new wind".

In terms of playing style, U22 Vietnam has gradually improved in controlling and putting pressure on their opponents. Their problem lies in their ability to make appropriate decisions, while their defense is a weakness. In addition to the problem of playing style, the players' mentality is a problem that coach Troussier must overcome at this time.

U22 Vietnam is rated higher than U22 Myanmar. The opponent caused difficulties for U22 Thailand in the semi-finals but overall, they are still below their level. U22 Myanmar also did not show much in the group stage. However, in the youth tournament, the instability of the players is the factor that creates surprises.

Prediction: U22 Vietnam 2-0 U22 Myanmar
