Hanoi FC vs Hoang Anh Gia Lai Prediction: Looking for the first win
Both Hanoi FC and Hoang Anh Gia Lai are looking forward to their first win in LPBank V-League 2025/26, in the match at Hang Day Stadium, at 7:15 p.m. on August 23.
In the opening match, Hanoi FC left Thong Nhat Stadium empty-handed after a surprising defeat against Ho Chi Minh City Police. It was a match in which the capital team played well, but they lacked precision and were unlucky in finishing situations.
Returning home, Van Quyet and his teammates confidently aim for the first victory of this year's season, when welcoming Hoang Anh Gia Lai.
Preparing for the match against Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Coach Makoto asked his players to learn many lessons from the loss to Ho Chi Minh City Police. The Japanese strategist also encouraged the players that everything would be better when the team started to "warm up".
Although rated much higher than their opponent at the moment, Hanoi FC cannot be complacent. In the last 5 meetings, Hoang Anh Gia Lai won 3 matches, even winning right at Hang Day Stadium.
Therefore, to achieve the goal of 3 points, the Capital team must play to the best of their ability and with the highest spirit. In case they do not achieve the desired results, they may face many difficulties this season.
On the other side of the front line, Hoang Anh Gia Lai immediately received a 0-3 defeat at home when meeting Becamex TP. Ho Chi Minh in the opening match. The defeat showed that the mountain town team has many problems after a series of key players left. This round, although they have defeated Hanoi FC many times, it is clear that Hoang Anh Gia Lai has a "less good, more bad" away trip.
In the remaining matches, Ninh Binh, after winning their opening match, returned home to welcome Thanh Hoa. At Vinh Stadium, Song Lam Nghe An met defending champions Thep Xanh Nam Dinh, while newcomer PVF-CAND traveled to Hai Phong's Lach Tray Stadium.
