List of difficulties of Song Lam Nghe An before the away match against The Cong Viettel

'Curse' Hang Day Stadium

Due to the poor quality of the My Dinh Stadium's grass, the Army team has chosen Hang Day Stadium as their home field for the last 3 matches of the season. This will be an advantage for The Cong Viettel. Because the Army team's playing style is short and medium-distance passing, the grass of Hang Day Stadium will help coach Nguyen Duc Thang's team more easily in the ball deployment phase.

However, Hang Day Stadium is one of the most worrying destinations for the Nghe An team in recent years. In the last 4 away matches at Hang Day Stadium,Lam River Nghe Anonly had 1 draw and lost 3 matches. The victory over The Cong Viettel in the final round of last season of the Nghe team was the match that took place at Lach Tray Stadium. Therefore, the upcoming away trip to Hang Day Stadium is predicted to bring many difficulties for the teachers and students.Coach Phan Nhu Thuat.

Especially when, Song Lam Nghe An's away record this season has not improved much. After 9 away matches, the Nghe team has only had 5 draws and lost 4 matches. Song Lam Nghe An is the only team that has not had 1 away win in V.League 2024/2025. Therefore, the Nghe team will have to try very hard to get points when leaving Hang Day Stadium.

Defense concerns

Song Lam Nghe An's defense has not played too badly in the past rounds. It is still the passionate play of Nghe An players to try to protect goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet's goal.

However, Song Lam Nghe An's defense had moments of distraction, causing the home team to lose regrettable victories. For 4 consecutive matches, the Nghe An team could not keep a clean sheet. In all 4 of these losses, the Nghe An team's defense was partly at fault. Therefore, fans are very worried about the home team's defense in Vinh Stadium in the upcoming away match.

Especially when foreign player Sebastian Zaracho is not sure to recover from injury in time to return in the next match. This will cause the Song Lam Nghe An defense to lack a reliable stopper to lock down the terrifying explosives on the side of The Cong Viettel.

In the last 5 matches, The Cong Viettel has scored 9 goals. The most prominent are Khuat Van Khang, Nguyen Huu Thang andPedro Henrique. This trio contributed 8/9 goals scored by The Cong Viettel. Therefore, Song Lam Nghe An needs to have the best preparations to minimize the danger of the strikers on the side of the Army team.

Midfield Courage

The addition of veteran midfielder Ho Khac Ngoc has greatly improved the midfield of Song Lam Nghe An. However, this veteran alone is not enough to help improve the midfield of the Nghe An team. Recent draws have demonstrated the poor ability of Song Lam Nghe An midfielders to control the tempo of the match.

Coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team entered the game very well to have an active game. As a result, the opening goals were scored forNghe An football team.

However, after that goal, Song Lam Nghe An gradually lost control of the game and let the opponent score an equalizer. Even if they had been more careful, the opponent could have scored goals to take the lead. Therefore, coach Phan Nhu Thuat will have to make calculations to strengthen the midfield of Song Lam Nghe An in the upcoming away match.
