Thailand U23's recent record needs to pay attention to its warm-up performance, which usually has a certain technical advantage in Southeast Asia, but physical confrontation can be a test against East Asian teams. China's U23's recent record needs to be analyzed for their preparation, and the team's integrity and defensive discipline in the qualifiers are key, but the stability of the offensive end is often questioned.

The two youth teams have had many head-to-head records in the past Asian youth level competitions. Historical head-to-head data shows that China U23 often has a slight advantage in physical condition and overall tactical execution, but Thailand U23 has the ability to create trouble with their fast footwork and home atmosphere, and past matchups have usually been more intense.

Based on recent form, historical head-to-head and odds tendency analysis, China U23 has a slight advantage in this game in terms of paper strength and external expectations. The game is predicted to be a pattern in which China U23 dominates possession and seeks to create opportunities through overall cooperation, while Thailand U23 relies on counter-attacks and set-pieces to threaten opponents. China U23 is more likely to be unbeaten, but the direct winning process is not expected to be easy, and a draw is a result that needs to be prevented.
