When will Song Lam Nghe An have its first victory?
The schedule for the next rounds of Song Lam Nghe An is very difficult. Therefore, without the whole team's best efforts, Song Lam Nghe An will have to wait a long time to get the first victory of this year's season.
Expected before Lunar New Year holiday 2025,Lam River Nghe AnThere will be 3 matches in V.League. These are all strong opponents with quality and depth.
First is Hanoi Police, the team currently ranked 5th in V.League. Although the performance of the Police team has been quite inconsistent in the first 9 rounds, it is not easy to win against them. Possessing a squad considered a miniature Vietnam National Team along with foreign players who are among the best in V.League, if Hanoi Police play at their best, the Nghe An team will hardly get 1 point, let alone win.
Besides, the home field is also one of the significant advantages of the Police team. At Hang Day Stadium this season, Hanoi Police has had 3 wins and only lost 1 match against the team at the top of the East Asia table, Thanh Hoa.
In addition, the head-to-head record ofNghe An football teamwith Hanoi Police is very bad. In the last 3 meetings, Song Lam Nghe An had to accept defeat against the Police team. It can be said that only a miracle can help coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team get 3 points at Hang Day stadium.
Hopes for the first victory are probably heavily weighted on the match against Becamex Binh Duong. Although coach Hoang Anh Tuan’s team has many stars such as Que Ngoc Hai, Ho Tan Tai or Nguyen Tien Linh, their performance has been very inconsistent. After 9 matches, Becamex Binh Duong has had 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses.
In addition, Becamex Binh Duong seems to be unlucky when playing away, in 5 away matches this season, Nguyen Tien Linh and his teammates only had 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. Therefore, welcoming the team from Thu Dau Mot at home is a great opportunity for Song Lam Nghe An to have their first win in V.League 2024/2025.
This is even more plausible when in the last 10 matches against Becamex Binh Duong at Vinh Stadium, Song Lam Nghe An won 6 matches, drew 3 matches and lost only 1 match. In particular, the 1-0 victory in the second leg of the 2023/2024 season contributed to helping the Nghe team successfully stay in the league.
If they do not win against Becamex Binh Duong, it will be very difficult for coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team. Because then the psychological pressure will weigh heavily on the Song Lam Nghe An players.
The next opponent of the Nghe An team is also very formidable, that is Hanoi Club. Although they have improved their performance against the capital team in recent years, to win against Hanoi Club right at Hang Day Stadium is not an easy thing.
Coach Le Duc Tuan's team is currently ranked 6th on the V.League rankings with only 1 loss after 9 rounds. Along with that is a quality and deep domestic force. While the foreign players are also many expensive names. Therefore, getting points in this match is also very difficult for Song Lam Nghe An.
Most likely, Nghe An fans will have to wait until the first match of the year of the Snake to witness the first victory of their team. That match is against Hai Phong Club at Vinh Stadium. The team from the port city is also struggling at the bottom of the table. Therefore, this is an evenly matched opponent and an opportunity for Song Lam Nghe An to win their first victory.
If they win, this will be a meaningful Tet gift that Song Lam Nghe An gives to fans and also opens up hope of staying in the league after a series of unsuccessful matches.
Hopefully, during the V.League break, the team ofCoach Phan Nhu ThuatThere will be clear changes to improve the playing style, thereby soon having the first victory of this year's season./.
