Nam Dinh is at a disadvantage before welcoming SLNA.
(Baonghean.vn) - In the first leg at Vinh Stadium, Sy Minh's only goal helped Nam Dinh return home with 3 full points. But this time when returning home, they did not have their best squad.
The player who will be absent from this round of Nam Dinh is goalkeeper Quoc Thien Esele. The number 1 goalkeeper of the home team received a red card and is suspended for this round. Accordingly, the person coach Nguyen Van Sy will most likely choose to stand in goal is Nguyen Minh Nhut, the player who has played 4 matches for the team from Thanh Nam.

A member of Nam Dinh said: “We are under pressure to win to take the initiative in the relegation race. The victory in the first leg against SLNA helped Nam Dinh gain more confidence. But SLNA is now very different. They have many good players and among them, Phan Van Duc is in extremely good form. Our task is to lock down this player if we want to achieve good results.”

On the other hand, SLNA also does not have midfielder Pham Xuan Manh. With a yellow card in the match against Hai Phong in round 17, the U23 Vietnam player has received 3 yellow cards and will have to sit out this round.
In the absence of Pham Xuan Manh, SLNA will likely arrange for defender Vo Ngoc Duc or Pham Manh Hung to play in the left-back position, right behind Phan Van Duc.
