SLNA - Hai Phong: The battle of V -League table

SLNA - Hai Phong: 18h Saturday 23/7.

SLNA, as a challenge, has home advantage in the competition with the top of Hai Phong. With the gap between the two teams is only one point, and SLNA plays less than one match, teachers and coach Nguyen Huy Hoang have a reason to "burn" this match.

Of course, this will be a reagent for the bravery of the Nghe team. In the seventh round, a 1-0 victory over neighbor Ha Tinh, while Hai Phong lost to Viettel 1-2, helped SLNA to surpass the opponent. But the next round, they lost 1-3 on Da Nang, and Hai Phong won an important victory over one of the highly appreciated teams this season - Binh Dinh. The same thing happened from the previous two rounds, causing the top of the table to revolve around these two famous fire teams.

The previous round, Hai Phong's Lach Tray yard once again attracted attention. Tran Tien Dung fans spit on the saliva, threatening to beat referee Hoang Ngoc Ha. This action caused frustration for fans, causing Hai Phong Club to be pressure. And only victory will make them soothe this.

However, the last three matches at home, SLNA won, not even conceding. And the last two away trips, Hai Phong were empty -handed.

SLNA will welcome the return of the number one goalkeeper Van Hoang, while Hai Phong lost the main striker Rimario due to suspension.

Binh Dinh - Da Nang: 18h Saturday, July 23

Since the defeat of Viettel 0-2 in the launch round, Binh Dinh has gone through five unbeaten matches with three wins, two draws, before losing to Hai Phong 1-3 rounds ago. Coach and coach Nguyen Duc Thang cannot overcome the heat at Lach Tray yard. Failure to competitors in the first group also made Binh Dinh short breath in the race to win the first leg.

Returning to the yard, this is the time when Binh Dinh needs to be psychologically stable, shocking the squad. Coach Duc Thang could not find the perfect formula for a strongly invested collective. But Binh Dinh's stars have partly proved their abilities.

Da Nang has no stable performance in the past period of the season. But the 3-1 victory over the previous SLNA team proves the ability to take the strong teams of the teachers and teachers of coach Phan Thanh Hung. Previously, Da Nang had defeated Hanoi 2-1 at home. But the problem for Da Nang is not able to win away. Both of their victories were in Hoa Xuan yard. At home, Da Nang has never failed, but lost two away games. Can they break that one on Binh Dinh Stadium?

HAGL - Thanh Hoa: 17h Sunday 24/7.

Achieving a series of three consecutive victories, HAGL has the opportunity to extend the achievement when continuing to be at home. On July 20, the Pleiku Stadium opened the festival when the home team defeated Binh Duong 2-1. That victory helped HAGL rise to Tuesday, only one point behind Hai Phong and Hanoi.

The first goal in that victory was Van Toan when he scored a double. Those are the first goals of the Vietnamese striker in the V-League this season. When the V-League 2021 was canceled, Van Toan was the best internal striker with Oussou Konan and Rodrigo Dias leading the race to scorer with seven goals after 12 rounds. His comeback came at the time when HAGL needed, when Cong Phuong was long -time rested by injury.

Before this round, HAGL welcomed the foreign duo- striker Paulo Henrique and midfielder An Sae Hee. Henrique will be a new, supplemented attack in the case of faint Washington Brandao. An Sae Hee is expected to fill the void left by Kim Dong Su.

The appearance of An Sae Hee caused Kiatisuk to undergo a headache when Le Van Son was playing well in the right center -defense position, among HAGL's three defense. However, with Van Thanh's absence due to a penalty card, Van Son could be returned to the right to make room for An Sae Hee to play his debut.

Ha Tinh - Hanoi: 18:00 Sunday, 24/7

Except for the 0-1 defeat on the SLNA neighboring team in the round of Seven, Ha Tinh is reviving strongly with three victories against Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong and Viettel. That series helps them, from the bottom of the table, jumped on Friday with only three points inferior to the top two teams.

After a slip on Da Nang, Hanoi proved the strength of the championship candidate when repeatedly defeating Hai Phong and Saigon at home. However, the bravery of the army led by coach Chun Jae Ho was still questioned, especially when they were away from home. The last two away matches, Hanoi did not win.

In terms of force, the visitors are somewhat better. They only lack midfielder Vu Minh Tuan and just added foreign striker Tonci Mujan - former U19 Croatia player. This will be a meaningful match with a group of young Hanoi players such as Tuan Hai, Van Vi, Viet Anh or Xuan Tu, when they reunited the team that raised their career.

Meanwhile, the Ha Tinh squad has no depth as the opponent. On the other hand, they suffered losses when some pillars were injured, including the case of midfielder Van Cong. The home team has just welcomed two rookies, Brazilian players Machado and former U19 Vietnam midfielder.

Saigon - Nam Dinh: 19h15 Sunday, 24/7

Saigon is the only team that has not won in the V-League 2022. It is not surprising that the teachers and coach Phung Thanh Phuong at the bottom of the table with only three points after seven matches. Next to Nam Dinh, the team with Ho Chi Minh City is the penultimate, will be an opportunity for Saigon to find the first victory.

However, Nam Dinh's spirit is rising after winning his first victory. They defeated Viettel 1-0 first round. If the second consecutive victory, coach and coach Nguyen Van Sy will take more pressure, creating a momentum for the next rounds. A victory for Nam Dinh will force Saigon to compete with the team with the city of Ho Chi Minh City to avoid the place.

Not only was the crisis, Saigon was also disadvantaged to lose foreign soldiers Andrre Vieira because of his suspension. As for Nam Dinh, Xuan Tan is the only absence. But this is the position of the visitors with reasonable replacement personnel.

The confrontation results between the two recent teams are quite balanced. Saigon is slightly better with four wins, three draws and three losses. The person who is under the greatest pressure is probably coach Phung Thanh Phuong. Because if Saigon continued not to win, he could pay the price with his chair.

Viettel - Ho Chi Minh City: 19h15 Sunday, 24/7

The beginning of the season is not bad with two victories and the draw on HAGL, but Viettel's performance recently disappointed. Except for the victory on Hai Phong Stadium, they lost to two teams under Ha Tinh and Nam Dinh. These times dropped this point reflecting the instability, most likely in the training bench when Mr. Bae Ji-won replaced his predecessor Truong Viet Hoang.

Compared to Viettel, the crisis of Ho Chi Minh City is worse. They received three consecutive defeats against SLNA, HAGL and Ha Tinh. Two consecutive failures at home are difficult to accept for fans of this club. On the transcript, Ho Chi Minh City only stands on neighboring Saigon.

The ineffective play attack is the reason why Ho Chi Minh City decline. This is a pity for the team led by coach Tran Minh Chien, a former famous striker of Vietnamese football. The bad results made coach Minh Chien filed for resignation, but it was reported that Ho Chi Minh City had rejected this request.

Viettel will welcome the important return of the German captain, after he was injured in the match against Hougang United at the AFC Cup. This is a valuable addition to the home team's defense after causing recent disappointment. The previous round, the 0-1 defeat on Nam Dinh's yard from Viettel came from the ownership of center-back Thanh Binh.
