Score Prediction
Indonesia lost one important ammunition in the semifinals, Rafael Struick. This factor will have a big impact on Garuda Muda. If the two replacement candidates, Hokyy Caraka and Ramadhan Sananta, perform well, Struick’s absence is not a big problem.
Uzbekistan performed perfectly until the Top 8 round of the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup. Uzbekistan has never conceded a goal and scored 12 goals. Timur Kapadze’s back line is very solid and their attack line is very sharp.
Score Prediction: Indonesia 0-0 Uzbekistan (match continues to penalties).
