Indonesia U-19 national team will face the Philippines U-19 in the first matchday of Group A of the 2024 AFF U-19 Championship on Wednesday, July 17, 2024. The match will be held at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, starting at 7:30 PM WIB.
Indonesia has prepared well ahead of the AFF U-19 Championship. Under Indra Sjafri's leadership, the team faced tough opponents in the Toulon Cup, which could serve as valuable preparation for the AFF U-19 Championship.
It's worth noting that winning the AFF U-19 Championship is not the primary goal for Indra Sjafri's team. Garuda Muda is aiming for a bigger target—qualification for the 2025 AFC U-20 Championship.
The Philippine camp arrives at the AFF U-19 Championship with minimal preparation. Their coach, Josep Ferre, was appointed as recently as April 2024. Despite this, he has valuable experience to compete effectively.
Josep Ferre is familiar with Indonesian football from his time as an assistant coach at Persis Solo during the 2023/2024 season. He is certainly aware of the playing style and characteristics of players like Arkhan Kaka or Kadek Arel.
On paper, Indonesia is predicted to win against the Philippines. This is due to their thorough preparation, as mentioned earlier, and the quality of their players who also have experience at the senior level.
However, underestimating the Philippines would be a significant mistake. The Philippines also boasts a talented squad with players like Alex Sabatin, Jian Caraig, Justin Ogur, and Manolo Veneracion, who have experience playing abroad.
Score Prediction: Indonesia 2-0 Philippines.
