MerryLand Quy Nhon Binh Dinh - Song Lam Nghe An: Continuing the victory
(Baonghean.vn) - At 6:00 p.m. on May 22, the Nghe An team will have a difficult away match against MerryLand Quy Nhon Binh Dinh, in round 20 of V.League 2023/2024.
Coach Pham Anh Tuan and his team are in a state of high spirits. The 2-1 victory over Khanh Hoa in round 19 helped Song Lam Nghe An end a streak of 10 matches with draws and losses. At the same time, with 3 points, the Vinh home team has closed in on the safe zone, only 3 points behind the 12th-placed team, LPBank Hoang Anh Gia Lai.
If they achieve positive results in the upcoming rounds, coach Pham Anh Tuan and his team will almost certainly escape the danger zone. And MerryLand Quy Nhon Binh Dinh is one of the obstacles that the Nghe An team must overcome. This is not an easy task for Michael Olaha and his teammates.
Not only having to play away, Song Lam Nghe An also has a squad quality that is inferior to the opponent. Battle experience is something that coach Pham Anh Tuan's students cannot compare to their colleagues on the Dat Vo team. Don't forget, MerryLand Quy Nhon Binh Dinh was once known as "Vietnam's PSG", with the presence of a series of stars such as Dang Van Lam, Tran Dinh Trong, Ha Duc Chinh...
In addition, the head-to-head record between the two teams is also leaning towards the team led by coach Bui Doan Quang Huy. Since returning to the V.League arena in 2021, MerryLand Quy Nhon Binh Dinh has only lost to Song Lam Nghe An exactly 1 match after 5 meetings (won 2, drew 2). The above defeat was in the first leg match, which took place at Vinh Stadium on February 18 (Song Lam Nghe An won 2-0).
Currently in 3rd place with 31 points, 8 points behind the leading team, Nam Dinh Steel Blue, MerryLand Quy Nhon Binh Dinh is still not considered by experts as a candidate for the 2023/2024 V.League championship. In fact, coach Bui Doan Quang Huy and his team have never declared their goal of competing with their opponents to become the new champion of the tournament.
Welcoming Song Lam Nghe An is an opportunity for Tran Dinh Trong and his teammates to gain all 3 points, and continue to chase Becamex Binh Duong and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh in the championship race. However, in football, victory does not always belong to the team that is rated higher. Therefore, the opportunity for Song Lam Nghe An is not small.
Most likely, coach Pham Anh Tuan and his team will leave Quy Nhon Stadium with at least 1 point in hand, although the Nghe An team will be without the services of Tran Dinh Hoang and Phan Ba Quyen, due to penalty cards./.
