Reasons to believe Song Lam Nghe An will score points in the first match of V.League 2023-2024
(Baonghean.vn) - Although they have to face a tough opponent, Viettel Club, in the opening match, Nghe An fans still have reasons to trust coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team in the opening match of V.League 2023-2024.
1. Unbeaten in the opening match
Since V.League 2018,Lam River Nghe Anhave never lost in their first match. This is a very proud achievement for the Nghe An team. In the last 6 opening matches, Song Lam Nghe An has 3 wins and 3 draws. The Nghe An team has scored 7 goals and only conceded 2.
Most notable in the opening matches were the 1-0 victories over Becamex Binh Duong in V.League 2022 and 2-0 against Ho Chi Minh City Club in V.League 2018. These were all away victories for Song Lam Nghe An.
With good results in the opening round in recent years, Nghe An fans can completely trust their hometown team to get a good result against Viettel Club.
2. Good performance of Song Lam Nghe An under coach Phan Nhu Thuat
Since taking over from coach Huy Hoang, coach Phan Nhu Thuat has been bringing very good results to the Nghe An team. In V.League 2023, this 39-year-old coach has helped Song Lam Nghe An have 5 wins, 1 draw and only 2 losses. Thus, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's winning rate is up to 63%. This is a great number for a coach taking charge of the V.League for the first time.

To get such good results,Coach Phan Nhu Thuatand colleagues have made reasonable adjustments in both tactics and personnel to help Song Lam Nghe An best promote its strengths.
Entering the 2023-2024 season, despite facing many difficulties in terms of personnel, Nghe An fans still expect the cool hand of this young general to help his hometown team have a successful season.
3. Viettel Club lacked stability in the opening match
Unlike Song Lam Nghe An, the Army team often plays inconsistently in their opening matches. In the last 5 opening matches,Viettel Clubwon 2 matches, drew 1 match and lost 2 matches. The 2 defeats that the Army team suffered were a 3-1 loss to SHB Da Nang in the 2018 season and a 0-1 loss to Hai Phong Club in the 2021 V.League.
However, Song Lam Nghe An will also have to be very cautious against coach Thach Bao Khanh's team, as the results of the last 5 matches between the two teams have been completely in favor of the army team. Therefore, this match is predicted to be a very fierce and exciting match.
4. Vinh Stadium Support
Another reason to believe in a good result for Song Lam Nghe An is the performance at Vinh Stadium. In the 2023 season, Song Lam Nghe An has a pretty good home record. After 10 matches played,Nghe An football team4 wins, 5 draws and only 1 loss.
The only loss at Vinh Stadium that Song Lam Nghe An had to accept was a 0-2 loss to Becamex Binh Duong Club. This was a match in which the Nghe team was certain to stay in the league and had quite a few experiments in the squad.
It can be said that Vinh Stadium will still be a support for coach Phan Nhu Thuat’s team. Hopefully, there will be many fans coming to the stadium to cheer for their hometown team, thereby giving more strength to the players competing on the field.
The match between Song Lam Nghe An and Viettel Club will take place at 17:00 on October 22, 2023 at Vinh Stadium.
