Olaha recovers in time, SLNA hopes to get points against XSKT Can Tho
(Baonghean.vn) - Before the away match against XSKT Can Tho in round 5 of V.League 2018, all of SLNA's strikers were injured. Fortunately, two of them were able to return to the field.
After 5 matches in V.League, striker Osmar Francisco has only played 2 matches and is injured with no signs of returning. The Nghe An team is preparing for the away match against XSKT Can Tho when they have just welcomed 2 new injuries, Ho Tuan Tai and Olaha Michael. In addition, Phuc Tinh, Ngoc Toan and Sy Nam are also unable to play with the team during this time.
According to information from the SLNA Club Medical Team, up to this point, the two strikers Olaha and Tuan Tai have recovered from their injuries and are ready for the match against XSKT Can Tho this afternoon (April 15).
These two players were the ones who scored the important goals that helped SLNA defeat Tampines Rovers at Vinh Stadium in the AFC Cup in the previous match.

The match at Can Tho Stadium is predicted to be very difficult for coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team because the home team is in very good form. After 5 matches, coach Dinh Hong Vinh's team has just had 2 consecutive victories against B. Binh Duong and Hai Phong. In terms of force, the team from Tay Do also has the strongest squad to face SLNA.
Without striker Osmar and midfielder Vo Ngoc Toan, Nghe An fans have the right to worry because in recent seasons, SLNA has had a rather inconsistent record when facing XSKT Can Tho. In the 2017 V.League, Que Ngoc Hai scored the decisive goal to help the home team defeat this opponent 2-1. In the 2015 and 2016 seasons, the away team both left empty-handed, without a goal.
XSKT Can Tho has shown signs of revival since parting ways with coach Vu Quang Bao and under coach Dinh Hong Vinh. In terms of defensive efficiency, SLNA and Can Tho have both conceded 4 goals, with the Nghe An team having a better scoring record than their opponents (4/3). However, in terms of the quality of their shots, XSKT Can Tho has been superior in the last 3 matches./.

Why does SLNA only sign short-term contracts with foreign players?
(Baonghean.vn) – Every year, the limited financial problem always makes SLNA spend a lot of time and effort in selecting foreign players. However, this problem has not been solved after many years.
