The Asian U-20 final round with the second day of competition includes two pairs of Group C matches between Korea and Oman (17 hours) and Tajikistan once morest Jordan (19 hours).
Oman is too hard to get points once morest Korea. Before leaving Korea for Uzbekistan, coach Kim Eun-jung stated his goal: “The team must have a ticket to the U-20 World Cup and we have to go further, to participate in the final match.”
Continental youth football has only two East Asian forces, including Korea and Japan, grappling with each other. Most recently, Korea U-20 reached the final of the U-20 World Cup in 2019 in Ukraine and lost to the host in the final 1-3.

Oman U-20 has tall players but still plays in a non-professional form. Meanwhile, South Korea has a record number of Asian U-20 championships with 12 crowns. Coach Kim Eung-jung’s teachers and students must win this youth tournament.
The students of this former Korean striker are mainly in the youth ranks of the club and the players are playing K-League 2. The only bright star of the Korean U-20 is Kim Yong-hak, who is wearing Portimonense’s shirt. Portugal.

For Oman, participating in this final round is a great honor and the third time. The last two friendlies Oman lost to Uzbekistan 0-2 and lost to Qatar 1-6. Contributing in Uzbekistan when Oman “overwhelmed” Thailand in the last ticket to save thanks to less than one goal to enter the finals. This is an encounter with a difference in level.
Prediction: Korea won 4-0.
In the Tajikistan match once morest Jordan, this was an even match. Over the past five years, Tajikistan has had relatively good and regular youth football routes. Four years ago, Tajikistan’s U-16 group reached the Asian final when losing to U-16 Saudi Arabia.
For Jordan, this young group is not too different from Oman. Many young players are sent to Europe for training, but their development ability is not high. Young Tajikistan players are more “monster” and play more coherently than Jordan.
Predict Tajikistan to win 3-1.
