Notable numbers of SLNA after the first 7 matches of V.League 2023

0- In all 7 matches of V.League 2023, SLNA has not been awarded a single penalty by the referees. Although there were many matches, coach Nguyen Huy Hoang's students were fouled in the penalty area. It is likely that this record will continue to be maintained because in the 2022 season, SLNA also did not receive a single penalty.

1- The number of losses of SLNA in V.League 2023. That was the loss against Thep Xanh Nam Dinh at Thien Truong Stadium. Coach Nguyen Huy Hoang and his team also only lost with a narrow score of 0-1 due to defensive mistakes. And SLNA's only win was also the 3-1 win against HAGL in the last round.

5 -Is the number of draws of SLNA after the last period. Having the same number of draws as SLNA are Viettel and HAGL. And SLNA also has 5 players who have scored in this year's season including Soladio (3 goals), Olaha (2 goals), Dinh Xuan Tien, Tran Nam Hai, Vytas (1 goal).

8 - Is the number of goals scored by SLNA at this time. This is a rather modest achievement compared to the strength of the Nghe An team. Lack of luck in finishing on goal is also the reason why SLNA has continuously had draws in recent matches.

9- The number of yellow cards that SLNA has received after 7 matches, 0 red. This number shows that coach Huy Hoang is building a more beautiful playing style for the team. The team that has received the fewest yellow cards up to now is Thep Xanh Nam Dinh, Cong An Ha Noi and Hai Phong (8 cards). The team that has received the most yellow cards is Dong A Thanh Hoa (21 cards).

20- Is the number of players that coach Nguyen Huy Hoang has put on the field after 7 matches. Of which, the players with the most minutes on the field are Que Ngoc Hai, Michael Olaha, Pham Xuan Manh and center back Vytas (630 minutes).

For a team with the youngest average age of V.League 2023 like SLNA (24.03), this is a very positive number, because young players under the age of U22 are often given the opportunity to compete.

28- The highest number of shots in a match of SLNA, 7 on target. That was the regrettable 1-1 draw against Binh Duong. SLNA's total shots this season were 95, 31 on target. A rather low rate of 33%.

56- Ball possession rate in the 0-1 loss to Nam Dinh. In that match, SLNA also launched 16 shots but only 4 were on target.

98- SLNA's highest number of attacks in a match. That was in the 3-1 victory over HAGL with 12 shots and 9 on target, scoring 3 goals.

With 8 points after 7 matches, ranked 9th on the rankings, this start is worse than the 2022 season. Therefore, SLNA needs to make more efforts, especially in the next match against Hong Linh Ha Tinh. Because after that match, SLNA's opponents are all strong teams such as Hanoi Police, Viettel, Binh Dinh.
