Coach Sundramoorthy confident of win against Indonesia
Coach V Sundramoorthy is expecting a tough match, but is confident of a victory against the Indonesian U-23 team this Saturday.
The Singapore players' familiarity with each other and the Jalan Besar pitch would give them the edge.
With the exception of two players, the rest of the squad comprises the LionsXII outfit that won the Malaysian Super League (MSL) title last week.
Many of the youngsters performed well in the Malaysian League, and they are likely to continue that momentum against the Indonesians - the silver medallist at the 2011 SEA Games.
The result is crucial for the host to get the nod from selectors for the SEA Games in Myanmar.
The coach hopes that his team could also take on defending SEA Games champions Malaysia.
"We love to play Malaysia, but the team is always travelling and they are based abroad. And for us, we have a lot of commitments, Malaysian League and all this. We will see if there is a date set for us, we might be able to play against them," he said.
Hariss Harun, Captain of the Singapore National U-23 Team, said: "I think the boys, even those two boys coming form the S League clubs, they are familiar with us. They play with us NFA, Young Lions and now here in U-23. So I think most of us are very familiar with each other, and confident as a team to go out and get the job done."
