JAKARTA England U-17 and Brazil U-17 will meet in the final match of Group C of the 2023 U-17 World Cup at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS), Friday, November 17 at 19.00 WIB.
Both teams played this match with different fates. Three Lions have already made sure to qualify for the round of 16 after winning the previous two matches.
Ryan Garry's side currently sit at the top of the standings with a collection of six points. They have secured the three most recent points after a comeback against Iran U-17.
Against Iran U-17, they fell behind through goals from Abolfazl Zami. Russel-Denny and Joel Ndala then scored one goal each to lock three points.
Therefore, they only need a draw against Team Samba to lock up the group title position. Joel Ndala had a great chance of getting one point against defending champion Brazil U-17.
Things are different with the Samba Team. They must secure three points to smooth the steps to the knockout stages of the 2023 U-17 World Cup.

If they only play a series against England U-17 later, the position of Phielipe Leal's team is in danger. You see, they have to get tickets for the knockout round determined by the Iranian U-17 vs Kaledonia Baru U-17 match and other group matches.
If Iran U-17 can beat New U-17 Caledonia then Team Samba must win. Well, if what happens is that Iran U-17 wins and Brazil U-17 loses, then they hope to just fight through the best third-placed path.
The problem is, Team Samba needs to wait for the results of another group to qualify as the four best third-placed teams. Therefore, the victory over the Three Lions is like a fixed price.
However, beating England U-17 is definitely not an easy task. However, keep in mind, the current condition is actually very good for Brazil U-17.
The reason is, the Three Lions could relax after the certainty of qualifying. The Samba Team could take advantage of this situation while fostering great motivation to qualify for the next round for the opportunity to defend the previous title.
