Young Lions - Balestier Khalsa

The Maurice Revello (Toulon) tournament. Match for 3rd place. This is not a particularly prestigious tournament, although of course it would be nice to win the title, but after losing in the semi-finals, the match for 3rd place will be played with a bit of an underdog mentality, playing cautiously. In reality, we just need to end the tournament on a positive note. Mexico usually plays a very open style of football here, always focused on attacking and consequentially, there were always plenty of action and goals on both sides. The match against Denmark in the group stage ended 3-3. I don't think their style will change now, there's no reason for it. The Danes were somewhat more open, but when they had opportunities, they not only broke through the opponent's defense, but also created more space, which resulted in a different game. This is also the case with Mexico or, for example, the Saudis. It should be the same situation again, where they face a cautious opponent who plays defensively and sets up a bus. In short, with not much at stake in the match, it is likely that the teams will demonstrate their strengths, i.e. their attacking abilities.

Mexico and Denmark opened this tournament and played 3-3 (Denmark won by penalty shoot-out), now they are fighting for the 3rd place. The Danes played an amazing tournament until the semi-finals, where they were beaten by Saudi Arabia with a score of 4-3. Meanwhile, Mexico showed a tragic defense throughout the tournament, with only Japan managing to score 1 goal against them, while all other opponents scored 3 or more. The Danes have scored at least 2 goals in each game, and knowing the tragic defense of Mexico, they should be able to do it once again in the final.
