Garuda Muda Ready to Combat! Prediction Starting XI Final AFF U23 vs Vietnam

Gilabola.com – Indonesian U23 national team meets Vietnam in the AFF U23 Cup final which was held at the Bung Karno Senayan Main Stadium, Jakarta, Tuesday night July 29, 2025. How is the starting XI Garuda Muda squad?

Face Vietnam in the final, coach Gerald Vanenburg is expected to make some changes in the core team to be revealed.

Because the Dutch coach could not play a number of players due to injury. And it could be, only Indonesia’s back line is not tampered with Vanenburg in this important match, because there is no problem in that line.

Vanenburg is likely to still rely on Ardiansyah under the Indonesian crossbar, together with Kadek Arel and Kakang Rudianto.

Achmad Maulana’s glorious game in the group and semifinals phase, is also expected to make Vanenburg back to the Arema young player to fill the right back position, in addition to relying again Dony Tri Pamungkas in the opposite position.

However, the 61 -year -old coach had to make major changes in his team’s midfield, because he could not rely on Toni Firmansyah and Arkhan Fikri who were still injured, and Robi Darwis who were affected by card accumulation.

The depth of the squad can be relied upon

However, one thing to remember, the Indonesian U23 national team has a qualified squad depth. Vanenburg still has Muhammad Ferarri, Dominikus Dion, and Rayhan Hannan who are likely to be relied upon in the final match tonight.

It is regrettable, changes in the composition of players may also be done by Vanenburg in the attack line of his team. He might have to lower Hokky Caraka in the attack line – replacing Jens Raven who was less fit in the match against Thailand, then mobilized Victor Dethan and Rahmat Arjuna to compete in the wing line.

Of course, the Indonesian U23 national team is favored to win in the final match against Vietnam tonight, although it must be admitted that the young Golden Star Warriors’ squad is not an easy opponent to be defeated.
