Statistics of the match between Hanoi Police and Song Lam Nghe An
As the underdog in the upcoming match, the statistics of this match further prove the inferiority of Song Lam Nghe An compared to the home team.
Indeed, in the last 3 confrontations, Song Lam Nghe An has had to accept defeats against the Public Security team. That was a 2-1 defeat at Hang Day Stadium in V.League 2023 and 2 losses in V.League 2023/2024. It can be said that,Hanoi Policeis the nemesis team of Song Lam Nghe An in V.League.
In addition, coach Mano Polking's team has been in very good form recently. The Police team has had 3 consecutive victories in all competitions. The most impressive of which was the 2-1 victory right on the field of the Philippine team Kaya at the ASEAN Club Championship.

In addition, the home form of Hanoi Police is also very good. In 4 matches at Hang Day Stadium, the Police team won 3 and lost only 1 to the defending champion Nam Dinh Steel Blue. Therefore, the upcoming match is predicted to be a difficult match for coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team.
On the away team sideLam River Nghe An, the 1-0 victory over SHB Da Nang in the recent National Cup was the first victory of the Nghe An team in the 2024/2025 season. Hopefully this victory will help coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team gain more confidence to improve their performance in the V.League.

In particular, after 9 rounds, Song Lam Nghe An has only had 5 draws and 4 losses, ranking second to last on the rankings. The away form of the Nghe An team is also quite unstable. Nguyen Van Viet and his teammates have only had 2 draws and suffered 2 losses after 4 away matches. Therefore, in the upcoming trip to Hang Day Stadium, getting 1 point is already a success for coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team.
In particular, Song Lam Nghe An's performance in January at V.League was not good. After 3 matches in January, the Nghe team only had 1 draw and 2 losses. It can be said that the statistics are not in favor of the Vinh home team. And only the utmost efforts of coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team can help them get favorable results at Hang Day Stadium.
On an individual level, the most outstanding player on the Hanoi Police side is midfielder Leo Artur. After 11 matches in all competitions, the Brazilian midfielder has scored 10 goals and provided 4 assists, a staggering number. Therefore, the defense of Song Lam Nghe An will have to pay special attention to Leo Artur to limit the danger of this midfielder wearing the number 10 shirt.

Among them, midfielder Phan Ba Quyen will be the hope of Song Lam Nghe An. If he has the best physical condition and form, Phan Ba Quyen can completely lock down Leo Artur as he did when the Brazilian midfielder was still playing for Quy Nhon Binh Dinh.
Meanwhile, Song Lam Nghe An's attack will rely on striker Benjamin Kuku. This striker wearing the number 10 shirt has 2 goals and 3 assists after 9 matches. While Michael Olaha is racing to recover from injury, Benjamin Kuku is the biggest hope for the Nghe team to get points at Hang Day Stadium.
Hopefully, the army ofCoach Phan Nhu Thuatwill have reasonable tactics along with the best performance to get a favorable result against Hanoi Police.
The match between Hanoi Police and Song Lam Nghe An will take place at 7:15 p.m. on January 18 at Hang Day Stadium.
