Hai Phong - SLNA Prediction: Home and away teams are at a dead end (17:00, October 1)

DECISION ROUND

According to the classification rules, based on the points on the rankings after the end of phase I, the top 8 teams will be in group A, the remaining 6 teams will be in group B. If there are 2 or more teams with the same points, the head-to-head will not be considered, but only the difference in goals will be considered based on the total number of goals, fair play points and the draw. The points of phase I will remain the same in phase II.

Thus, Saigon FC, Viettel, Ho Chi Minh City, Than Quang Ninh, and Hanoi have certainly entered group A. With Quang Nam (9 points), Hai Phong, and DNH Nam Dinh (10 points), they no longer have a chance and are certain to enter group B to compete for relegation.

Accordingly, the opportunity is divided equally for Thanh Hoa,SLNAand HL Ha Tinh, but these teams do not have the right to decide. HL Ha Tinh Club has 15 points (goal difference 11/10), SLNA has 15 points (goal difference is 9/13) and Thanh Hoa Club has 14 points (8/13). In this round, Thanh Hoa must visit defending champion Hanoi, SLNA will visit Hai Phong, HL Ha Tinh welcomes Quang Nam.

The above teams do not have the right to decide because B. Binh Duong, HAGL (17), SHB Da Nang (16) have many advantages. The opportunity to have a group of 3 teams Thanh Hoa - SLNA - HL Ha Tinh only comes when these teams stumble. Everything becomes very unpredictable when B. Binh Duong faces Viettel, HAGL meets TP. HCM and SHB Da Nang is a guest at Thien Truong Stadium of DNH Nam Dinh.

In this round 13, the most difficult is still Thanh Hoa Club, the Thanh team has just said goodbye to coach Nguyen Thanh Cong and under coach Mai Xuan Hop, this team has not been able to regain balance. Meanwhile, their opponent, Hanoi Club, is on the rise and is very difficult to defeat.

If SHB Da Nang's 8th place (16 points) is taken as a benchmark, the teams in the middle group will need to have at least 18 points in case the Han River team stumbles. If SLNA wins 3 points in Hai Phong but if HL Ha Tinh wins 3 points against Quang Nam, the Nghe team will still fall out of group A after phase I. In case SHB Da Nang and HL Ha Tinh both win, SLNA will have no chance.

WHAT OPPORTUNITY FOR SLNA?

In the history of confrontation,SLNAIn the last 30 times Nghe An and Hai Phong met, the team from Nghe An won 7, drew 3 and lost 5. At Lach Tray Stadium, SLNA only had 2 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses. The team from Hai Phong is in a desperate situation but they have been reinforced with 3 players like Than Quang Ninh: Diego Fagan, Nghiem Xuan Tu and Mac Hong Quan.

Difficulties are also awaiting SLNA because leading Hai Phong Club is a coaching team that is no stranger to the hometown team: Coach Pham Anh Tuan, assistant Le Quoc Vuong and many players who grew up at SLNA such as Pham Manh Hung, The Cuong...

Hai Phong FC is currently the team with the worst attack with 5 goals scored/16 goals conceded, while SLNA is 9/13. According to Instat statistics, Hai Phong is the team with the most fouls at home. On average, each match, the home team Lach Tray has 8.5/16.7 fouls. This will be a big challenge for SLNA's attack.

This will be a match that is predicted to have many penalty cards, because Hai Phong is the team with the ability to compete for the number 1 position in V.League 2020, and SLNA is not far behind with 52%. Hai Phong is currently the team with the highest number of times winning the ball in the opponent's half (average 12/50 per match).

In any case, the immediate task ofSLNAis to score many goals against Hai Phong Club. In this round, SLNA only suffered a single loss, which was midfielder Dang Van Lam's knee injury. In return, SLNA's coaching staff will have the service of Peter Samuel, a player who was absent from the previous match because he received 3 yellow cards.
