Sông Lam Nghệ An cần bao nhiêu điểm để lọt vào tốp 8 V.League 2023?

More than half way through phase 1, coach Huy Hoang's team has had1 win, 5 draws, 1 loss, 8 goals scored and 7 goals conceded. This is an achievement that has not met the expectations of Nghe An fans. However, with positive changes in recent times, coach Huy Hoang and his team are trying to improve their performance to complete the goal of entering the top 8 after the end of phase 1 of V.League.

According to statistics, from V.League 2017 to V.League 2022, teams that want to reach 8th place after the first leg of V.League ends must win at least 1.23 points/match, that is, after 13 matches.Lam River Nghe Anmust win at least 16 points to be able to get a place in the top 8. However, in 3/6 recent seasons, clubs had to win at least 18 points to be able to get a place in the top 8 after 13 matches in the V.League. This means that the Nghe An team must win 11 points in the remaining 6 matches to be sure of entering the top 8. This will be an extremely difficult task for coach Huy Hoang and his team when the remaining opponents of Song Lam Nghe An are very tough.

However, if the Nghe An team takes advantage of the opportunity to play at home, they can completely earn 6 points from the 2 matches against Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club and Ho Chi Minh City Club. These are the 2 most suitable and comfortable opponents in the remaining journey of the teachers and students.Coach Huy Hoang.

The challenge and difficulty will start from the newly emerged giant Hanoi Police. The trip to Hang Day Stadium is expected to be less safe than dangerous, but if we look at it in general, the Police team is still an easier obstacle than the remaining opponents. And if Song Lam Nghe An plays with a reasonable strategy, they can completely leave with at least 1 point.

After the match with Hanoi Police, Song Lam Nghe An will continue to stay at Hang Day Stadium to face Viettel Club. This is the opponent that the Nghe team has suffered 4 consecutive defeats against. If Que Ngoc Hai and his teammates cannot improve their performance, the possibility of Song Lam Nghe An leaving Hang Day Stadium empty-handed will be very high.

Another tough opponent thatNghe An football teammust face Topenland Binh Dinh. In the last 2 confrontations with Nguyen Duc Thang and his team, Song Lam Nghe An were both defeated. Luckily, in this match, coach Huy Hoang and his team will play at home. With the support of the home crowd, if they play to their full potential, the possibility of winning 1 to 3 points against the team from Vo land is completely within the reach of the Nghe team.

If they can win against Topenland Binh Dinh, coach Huy Hoang's team will have a more comfortable mentality in the away match against the defending champion Hanoi. This is an opponent that the Nghe An team has lost to in 5/6 recent away matches. And getting 1 point away from the defending champion of V.League is a great success for Song Lam Nghe An.

Thus, the ability to win from 8 to 11 points in the remaining 6 matches will be a feasible task for coach Huy Hoang and his team if they make good use of the 3 home matches. Hopefully, after the break for the U22 Vietnam team to compete in the 32nd SEA Games, the Nghe An team will improve themselves, thereby achieving good results in the remaining journey of V.League 2023./.
