Binh Duong vs. Song Lam Nghe An: Waiting for Phan Van Duc to make his mark.

According to statistics, up to this point, Phan Văn Đức has scored 5 goals against B.Bình Dương, in addition to 1 assist.

In the last two matches against B.Binh Duong (Song Lam Nghe An won 1-0 and 2-0), Phan Van Duc scored all three goals for the home team in Vinh. Clearly, against B.Binh Duong's goal, the midfielder born in 1996 is a real "nightmare". However, these statistics don't fully reflect Van Duc's danger.

Reuniting with Michael Olaha will further enhance Phan Van Duc's goal-scoring ability. It's worth remembering that in the past (2017-2018), Phan Van Duc and Michael Olaha played together very effectively. In the 2018 V.League season alone, they scored a combined 17 goals for Song Lam Nghe An (Phan Van Duc 9 goals, Michael Olaha 8 goals).

Currently, the player from Yen Thanh is in excellent physical condition. He will certainly be a strong contender in the match between Song Lam Nghe An and B.Binh Duong in Round 1 of the V.League 2022.Phan Van DucCoach Nguyen Huy Hoang will field him from the start, either as a left winger (4-4-2 formation) or as a left-sided forward (3-4-3 formation).

Hopefully, Phan Văn Đức will continue to play the hero role to help Song Lam Nghệ An overcome the home team B. Bình Dương, and at the same time have an impressive start to this season.
