(Baonghean.vn) - Welcoming coach Phung Thanh Phuong and his team is a great opportunity for the Nghe An team to win all 3 points.

Before the match with Ho Chi Minh City Club, Song Lam Nghe An has swapped positions on the coaching bench. Accordingly, assistant Pham Anh Tuan takes on the role of "captain", while coach Phan Nhu Thuat returns to take on the role of "vice captain". A rather surprising decision by the Vinh Stadium team.

The goal of the Song Lam Nghe An Board of Directors is to quickly get the team out of the difficult situation with a series of 9 matches with all draws (3) and losses (6). Especially with 15 points in hand, the Nghe An team is struggling in the second to last position on the V.League 2023/2024 rankings.

Currently, after 17 rounds, the gap between Song Lam Nghe An and Hong Linh Ha Tinh - the owner of 12th place, is 5 points. If they achieve positive results in the next rounds, the opportunity for coach Pham Anh Tuan and his team to escape the danger zone is not small.

The obstacle ahead for Michael Olaha and his teammates is Ho Chi Minh City Club. Although they are in the safe zone, the performance of the Thong Nhat Stadium team this season has been quite erratic with a record of 6 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses. It is worth mentioning that all 6 of the above wins were achieved by coach Phung Thanh Phuong and his team at their home ground.

From that, it can be seen that Ho Chi Minh City Club is just a team that is "smart at home but stupid in the market". Having to play away at Song Lam Nghe An will put the team of the city named after Uncle Ho at risk of defeat. Remember, the last 3 times visiting Vinh Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City Club had to return empty-handed.

Even in V.League 2023, the Nghe An team defeated Ho Chi Minh City Club in both matches at the "fire pan of Vinh city" with a score of 2-1 in phase 1 and 2-0 in phase 2. Most likely, the result of the match that will take place on the afternoon of May 13 will not be an exception, with the victory leaning towards the home team.

Some people think that welcoming Ho Chi Minh City Club at this time for Song Lam Nghe An is like "a drowning man clutching at a pole". And if they just win against the Thong Nhat Stadium team, coach Pham Anh Tuan and his team will relieve a lot of pressure.

Obviously, Song Lam Nghe An is the team that has more advantages than the visitors from the far South. Let's wait and see, will Michael Olaha and his teammates successfully take advantage of the advantage of Vinh Stadium to overcome Ho Chi Minh City Club, in the match of round 18 of V.League 2023/2024?
