According to information from the SLNA Fan Club, it is expected that about 10,000 fans from the Southern region will flock to Thong Nhat Stadium on July 2 to support the Nghe An team.

Mr. Truong Thanh Tung, in charge of the SLNA Fan Club, affirmed: "The SLNA Fan Club in the South has decided to spend 50 million VND to implement "golden covering" plans such as making 300 flags, more than 1,000 pairs of clappers, banners, drums, speakers... In which, the highlight will be 4,000 traditional yellow papers printed with the name Le Cong Vinh (9). And further, we want to send a message to the young players wearing the SLNA shirt: Fight with all your might, we will remember your shirt number".

Ho Chi Minh City FC fans are also eager to watch the uncompromising match between the V.League newcomer and Cong Vinh's hometown team. The number of tickets sold is constantly increasing, making chairman Le Cong Vinh restless. Despite being busy with a thousand things, he still went directly to the ticket booth with the staff for the match against FLC Thanh Hoa.

As for the players, both sides are very eager for the rematch. Because there are a series of players who grew up from SLNA and are playing in the new V.League team such as Au Van Hoan, Nguyen Hong Viet, Le Manh Dung or striker Vu Quang Nam. For Quang Nam, this is the first time the star of the 2014 National U21 tournament has the opportunity to face his hometown team.

Because of an injury, center back Que Ngoc Hai shared a regretful status because it was difficult for him to recover in time for the match against Ho Chi Minh City. Meanwhile, the visiting team's player Truong Dinh Luat also showed his fighting spirit with the comment "What a loss!" on the SLNA center back's personal page.

Before this match, SLNA coach Nguyen Duc Thang shared: "I highly appreciate Ho Chi Minh City Club because they play at home, their spirit is also high. With SLNA, no matter who the opponent is, we will compete with the highest determination."

In the previous round, SLNA held Quang Nam to a draw at Tam Ky Stadium. Meanwhile, the home team Ho Chi Minh City also made championship candidate FLC Thanh Hoa leave Thong Nhat Stadium with 1 point in a goalless match. Therefore, the match between Ho Chi Minh City and SLNA is heating up day by day.
