In the last 10 matches at V.League,Nam Dinh Green Steelwon 7 matches and drew 3 matches. The team from Thanh Nam also won 4 consecutive matches and scored 14 goals. These are numbers that speak to the terrible strength of coach Vu Hong Viet's team in the return leg.

Away from home this season, Nam Dinh Blue Steel is also on a 10-match unbeaten streak in the V.League (5 wins, 5 draws). The only loss the team from Thanh Nam suffered away from home was the opening match against Hong Linh Ha Tinh. Therefore, despite having to play away at Vinh Stadium, Nam Dinh Blue Steel will still be the favorite team in the upcoming match.

Meanwhile,Lam River Nghe Anjust had their first away win of the season. This is a golden victory that helps coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team to be more confident in the fierce and intense relegation race.

Vinh Stadium is still the mainstay of the Nghe An team when Song Lam Nghe An has had 5 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in 2025. The enthusiastic cheers of the audience will be a great motivation for coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team on the field.

Along with that is the quite positive head-to-head record of the Nghe team at Vinh stadium. In the last 4 times hosting the Blue Steel Nam Dinh, Song Lam Nghe An had 1 win, 2 draws and only lost 1 match against the team from Thanh Nam. Therefore, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team still has reasons to create a surprise in the upcoming match.

To do that, Song Lam Nghe An will rely on the talent of goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet. The excellence of the goalkeeper from Tan Ky is one of the reasons that helped Song Lam Nghe An win the recent Nghe Derby. This season, Nguyen Van Viet has kept 7 clean sheets after 23 matches for the Nghe team. Hopefully, this 22-year-old goalkeeper will continue to shine in the next match to help Song Lam Nghe An get points against the defending champions.

On the offensive line, Nghe An fans hope Benjamin Kuku will continue to "shoot" in the next match after opening fire in the match against Hong Linh Ha Tinh recently. By only having to face domestic central defenders, Benjamin Kuku's strength will have room to develop, thereby causing many storms for goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh's goal.

On the away team, Romulo will be one of the most notable names. The Brazilian midfielder is a real boss in the midfield. His comprehensive personal skills and good physical strength help Romulo not only recover the ball well but also organize sharp attacks towards the opponent's goal. Therefore, Song Lam Nghe An needs to have counterweights to limit the danger of this Brazilian midfielder.

Another Brazilian player who is also very notable is striker Brenner. After the initial period of adapting to the playing style of Nam Dinh Steel Blue, Brenner has played very well in recent rounds. This 31-year-old striker has had 3 goals and 3 assists to help the team from Thanh Nam win all 4 consecutive rounds recently.

It can be said that having to face an all-star team like Nam Dinh Blue Steel is a difficult problem for the team.Coach Phan Nhu Thuat. Vinh Stadium will be the only support for Song Lam Nghe An in the upcoming match. Therefore, the Nghe An team needs the enthusiastic support of the home audience so that the players can play at more than 100% capacity, thereby, achieving the best results.
