National Cup 2024/2025 schedule: Opportunity for Song Lam Nghe An to go deep

For many people, the number 13 is an unlucky number, but for the Nghe An team, it is completely the opposite. At the 2024/2025 National Cup draw, with the number 13Lam River Nghe Anhas been directly entered into round 2. Thus, along with the teams with high rankings in last year's season, Song Lam Nghe An is one of the teams that does not have to compete in round 1 of the National Cup this year.

Besides, draw number 13 also helps the Nghe An team to play at home in round 2. This will help Song Lam Nghe An not have to spend much effort and money but also get the support of home fans.

Coach Pham Anh Tuan's team's opponents in the second round will be Hoa Binh Club or SHB Da Nang. These are both "easy" opponents for the Nghe An team. If they play to their full potential, Song Lam Nghe An can absolutely make it to the quarter-finals.

If they reach the quarter-finals, their opponents will beNghe An football teamwill certainly be much stronger. That is most likely Hanoi Club when the Capital team only has to face weak opponents in round 2 (Dong Thap or Dong Nai).

However, playing at Vinh Stadium will be a great advantage for coach Pham Anh Tuan's team. In the last 2 times visiting Vinh Stadium, Hanoi Club could only get 1 point. Therefore, Song Lam Nghe An still has a chance to enter the semi-finals of this year's National Cup.

If they make it to the semi-finals, this will be Song Lam Nghe An's best achievement since 2018. This is the season in which the Nghe An team made it to the semi-finals and lost to Dong A Thanh Hoa with a total score of 6-3 after 2 matches.

A year earlier, Song Lam Nghe An was the one who won the 2017 National Cup after a convincing 5-1 victory over Becamex Binh Duong. This championship helped the Nghe An team equal the record with the Thu team to become the 2 clubs with the most National Cup championships (3 times).

Returning to this year's season, with a rejuvenated force, the National Cup will be a suitable environment for young Nghe An players to gain experience. And with the 1-match knockout format, Song Lam Nghe An can completely create surprises.

Hopefully, the army ofCoach Pham Anh Tuanwill try our best to go deep in the National Cup this season./.
