Nam Dinh - CAHN: The owner was secretly screened
*Nam Dinh - CAHN: 18h Wednesday 2/8.
Hendrio is the most important player of Nam Dinh. He played the role of organizing attacks for the home team of Thien Truong Stadium and was also the best scorer, with three goals. However, this foreign soldier is having to treat the problem of edema of the tibial ligament - posterior talus and posterior talus - peroneal ligament, so he cannot attend when the home team receives CAHN.
Before that, Hendrio was absent when Nam Dinh lost 0-1 at Hanoi FC on July 28, in the match the away team never hit the goal of Bui Tan Truong. That day, Duc Huy was arranged to kick in the middle of the field instead of Hendrio. But the Hanoi midfielder also suffered a muscle injury and had to leave the field in the first half. He hasn't recovered yet for today's match. Coach Vu Hong Viet is likely to have to consider the option of pulling winger Nguyen Phong Hong Duy into the middle as in the second half of the defeat to Hanoi FC.
Nam Dinh's offensive ability further deteriorated when the side kicker To Van Vu could not play. CAHN loaned this player to Nam Dinh with the clause not to play when meeting the host team. In defense, Nam Dinh is also absent from Hoang Van Khanh - a sick central defender.
Besides the personnel issue, Nam Dinh was also concerned about the referee, when this match was not selected to apply VAR (video technology to assist referees). Meeting Hanoi FC in the previous round, the referee did not allow Nam Dinh to take a corner after the ball hit the head of a Hanoi player, and right after that, they had to concede a goal. In the second half, Nam Dinh fans also reacted violently, throwing water bottles on the field, causing the match to pause for a few minutes, because they thought the referee had unfairly caught him, refusing to blow 11m when the ball touched Bui Hoang Viet Anh's hand in the ring. ban.
Nam Dinh's fulcrum in the match against CAHN is Thien Truong Stadium. This stadium is always the most crowded in the V-League and is considered the "fire pan" of Vietnamese football. With the enthusiastic cheers of thousands of home fans, Nam Dinh has never lost in Thien Truong at the V-League 2023 with two wins and five draws. In addition, the Nam Thanh team also has a little psychological advantage because it defeated the Hanoi Police in the National Cup. In the match at Hang Day Stadium on 7/7, Nam Dinh had to play short of players from the 58th minute because Ngo Duc Huy had to receive a red card. However, the next minute Hendrio put the Nam team ahead and even though Success equalized, they still beat the opponent in the penalty shootout.
Hanoi police are thirsty for victory to return to the top. After making two expensive contracts with goalkeepers Filip Nguyen and Nguyen Quang Hai, the capital team won only one of the last four matches, falling to third in the V-League. Filip Nguyen plays well, has many saves, but Quang Hai is weak despite constantly kicking the main. The player has not provided an assist or scored a goal in the past five games. He even missed the penalty shootout, causing the team to lose to Nam Dinh and have to bid farewell to the National Cup.
Thanh Hoa also welcomed the return of Coach Popov. In the victory over Binh Dinh, he was banned from directing because he received three yellow cards, so he had to sit in the stands and ask the assistant interpreter to use the walkie-talkie to talk to the coaching staff below.
Ha Tinh lost to Thanh Hoa 0-4 in the first leg. But the chance for them to repay that debt today is not high. The 0-4 defeat at Viettel Stadium in the previous round both reduced Ha Tinh's spirit and made them lose hope of racing for the championship.
Despite losing a series of pillars such as top scorer Rimario, defensive midfielder Moses, central defender Bui Tien Dung ... after finishing second in the 2022 season, under the guidance of coach Chu Dinh Nghiem, Hai Phong is still very difficult to beat. lose. They are in high spirits again when they just won 2-0 at the Hanoi Police Stadium in the previous round.
Besides the matches on the field, the stands will be another hot spot of this match. For many years, Hai Phong fans have always disliked Hanoi FC, having lit flares many times in the stands, causing opponents to be fined.
Hai Phong fans often think that the referee favors Hanoi FC. However, this problem will more or less be solved when the Organizing Committee allows the application of VAR in this match.
Hanoi FC is leading the table, but has not really reached a convincing performance, especially in the scoring stage, which is their trademark. Through 16 matches, the defending champion has only scored 26 goals, ie an average of 1.62 goals per game. This performance is very low compared to 1.95 goals per game in 2022, or 1.85 goals per game in 2020 season and 2.03 goals per game in 2019.
