Thanh's 'blunt attack' meets Nghe's 'firm defense'
(Baonghean.vn) - The away team SLNA is flying high thanks to its defense, while the home team Thanh Hoa is facing a series of different problems, especially the ineffectiveness of its attack.
After the first 3 rounds, SLNA is the only team that has not conceded a single goal. Under the guidance of coach Ngo Quang Truong, SLNA's defense is still as solid as last season. In V.League 2019, the goalkeepers of the Nghe An team only had to pick the ball out of the net 26 times, the fewest in the tournament.
It is worth mentioning that at the present time, the Vinh team no longer has the services of goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh, center back Memovic, right back Tran Dinh Hoang and most recently center back, captain Hoang Van Khanh (injured). Obviously, coach Ngo Quang Truong and his colleagues are turning SLNA's defense into an "unbreakable defense system".

One of the reasons why coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team are more confident in their trip to Thanh Hoa this time is the home team's very low scoring efficiency. Despite having many famous strikers such as Hoang Vu Samson, Hoang Dinh Tung, Le Van Thang... Thanh Hoa has only scored 1 goal. And that only goal came from a free kick by defender Nguyen Vu Hoang Duong (in the match against Quang Nam).

Let's wait and see, will Thanh Hoa's attack be "less blunt" or will SLNA's defense still be "as solid as a rock"?
