Statistics of the match between Song Lam Nghe An and Ho Chi Minh City Club
Both teams have not been in good form in the past period of the season, but Song Lam Nghe An has certain advantages. And that is the reason why Nghe An fans believe in a victory for their team.
In terms of head-to-head stats,Lam River Nghe Anis the better team with 8 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses. In the last 4 matches at Vinh Stadium, the Nghe team is undefeated. Specifically, 3 consecutive wins in V.League 2022, V.League 2023 and 1 draw in the second leg last season. It can be said that the good head-to-head record is the basis for believing in a victory for coach Pham Anh Tuan's team in the upcoming match.
In addition, Ho Chi Minh City Club's attack is the worst in V.League. After 6 matches (1 match in the National Cup), the team from the city named after Uncle Ho only scored 2 goals. Both goals were scored in the victory against Quy Nhon Binh Dinh. This is also the only victory of coach Phung Thanh Phuong's team up to this point.

However, the home team Song Lam Nghe An is also not in good form. In fact, the Nghe team has not yet known the taste of victory this season. After 5 matches, the Nghe team has only had 3 draws and 2 losses, temporarily standing at the bottom of the V.League rankings. However, the positive signals in the recent 2-2 draw with Quy Nhon Binh Dinh will help Song Lam Nghe An play better in the upcoming match.
In addition, the Nghe An team is quite lucky in round 6. In round 6 of last season, Song Lam Nghe An won 1-0 against Hoang Anh Gia Lai to get the first victory of the season. Further, in round 6 of V.League 2022, the Nghe An team won 2-0 against Ho Chi Minh City Club after goals from Michael Olaha and Mai Sy Hoang.
Meanwhile, the team from the city named after Uncle Ho has not won in round 6 for 4 consecutive seasons. Therefore, Nghe An fans have reason to hope that their team will have their first victory in this round.
On an individual level, Song Lam Nghe An is more prominent with Benjamin Kuku, who has scored 2 goals and 2 assists after 5 matches in the V.League. Meanwhile, strikerMichael Olahaalso scored 2 goals when playing in round 6 of V.League. Notably, the Nigerian striker scored 2 goals and 4 assists in the confrontations with the team from the city named after Uncle Ho. Therefore, this foreign duo will be the hope on the attack line of Song Lam Nghe An in the upcoming match.

On the Ho Chi Minh City Club side, the best striker is Endrick Dos Santos. This Malaysian player has scored 1 goal and 1 assist after 5 matches. But the most notable player is Patrik Le Giang. The Vietnamese goalkeeper has kept 2 clean sheets this season and averaged 1.2 saves per match. It is Patrik Le Giang's excellent form that has helped Ho Chi Minh City Club concede only 6 goals.
However, the player with the highest transfer value in this match belongs to center back Duarte Rocha. The Brazilian player has a transfer value of up to 500,000 Euros. Duarte Rocha used to play in the Bulgarian Premier League or the Saudi Arabian First Division. Therefore, Nghe An fans are looking forward to the confrontation between Benjamin Kuku and this Brazilian center back.
Playing at home and meetingHo Chi Minh City Clubis in poor form is a good opportunity for Song Lam Nghe An to find the first victory.
Hopefully, coach Pham Anh Tuan and his team will have an excellent match to satisfy the fans' thirst for victory./.
