Binh Duong - Hanoi Police: Rediscover the feeling of victory
At the beginning of the season, Binh Duong recruited three quality rookies, including striker Rimario, midfielder Moses and naturalized central defender Tran Trung Hieu with the expectation of creating a breakthrough in gameplay and results in the V-League 2023. But after five years. round, they together with SLNA and Da Nang are the remaining three teams that have yet to win. Binh Duong is also the first team to change the coach this season, when bringing Mr. Nguyen Quoc Tuan to replace Lu Dinh Tuan.
The 1-1 draw at SLNA in round 5 made Binh Duong only three points, from three draws, standing penultimate through five rounds. They are therefore more hungry for victory than ever when they return to Go Dau's home ground today to receive the Hanoi Police - the team is equally hungry to win. After a temporary sublimation, winning Binh Dinh 5-1 on the opening day, the rookie of V-League 2023 drew two, lost two in the next four rounds. They still show a lack of cohesion, poor ideas and dependence on foreign soldiers - who scored all 8 goals from the beginning of the tournament.
Five points through five matches with only one victory is not commensurate with the huge amount of money spent on transferring the Hanoi Police. But today's winning ambition continues to be challenged. When he could not prove the changes after 45 days of the V-League's break, coach Paulo Foiani continued to face difficulties in terms of personnel. Phan Van Duc broke his ligament and had to rest until the end of the year, while Doan Van Hau suffered a back injury and could rest for the seventh round.
If they overcome difficulties in Go Dau today, the Hanoi Police will squeeze into the top 8. On the contrary, they may be occupied by Binh Duong itself in the current 10th position.
In addition to the Binh Duong - CAHN match, today's round of 6 matches also have two other matches taking place at 18:00, when Da Nang meets Viettel and Thanh Hoa meets Hong Linh Ha Tinh.
Like Binh Duong, Da Nang has not won since the beginning of the season, although there were times when coach Phan Thanh Hung's team played not bad games. The bottom position of the table with only two points is not commensurate with what Da Nang has performed, and they have the opportunity to change when they receive Viettel - the team that has just lost to HAGL 1-4.
The suspension for central defenders Bui Tien Dung and Nguyen Duc Chien caused Viettel to decrease the strength of its defense. Their attack is also not better without Geovane Magno. Da Nang can learn how HAGL blockade Hoang Duc, and at the same time strike first in each round before backing back to play defense and counter-attack.
In the Thanh Hoa - Ha Tinh pair, the correlation is in favor of the host. The Thanh team in the Velizar Popov era is sublimating with a five-match unbeaten streak and leads Hanoi FC with 11 points.
Unlike previous seasons, Thanh Hoa offers matches full of determination, solid defense and sharpness in attack. They have only scored four goals, belonging to the group of four teams that have scored the least in the tournament, but also conceded one goal - at least, and achieved a high position beyond the predictions of experts. That way of playing impresses against stronger teams like Hanoi FC or Binh Dinh and against a weaker opponent, Ha Tinh, Thanh Hoa does not want to miss the opportunity to accumulate maximum points.
