Background and style
SLNA: Strengthening defense, deadlock in finishing
The 0-1 loss to Ninh Binh in round 10 exposed SLNA’s biggest problem: the ability to score goals. Although their fighting spirit was recognized, the Nghe An team still lacked a truly effective foreign striker to convert counter-attacks into goals. The bright spot was in the defense system: young goalkeeper Van Binh and the main central defender duo played tenaciously, making SLNA more difficult to penetrate than in the early stages.
Vinh Stadium continues to be a stronghold. The enthusiasm of Nghe An fans often helps coach Van Sy Son's team increase the intensity of the competition, maintain a tight formation and wait for counter-attack opportunities.
Becamex HCMC: Pragmatic, changing state of mind
Becamex HCM City currently has 11 points, ranking 8th on the rankings. Under the guidance of coach Dang Tran Chinh, the away team has strengthened its defense, prioritizing safety and taking advantage of opportunities. When playing away at Vinh Stadium, the defensive counter-attacking style of play is likely to continue, taking advantage of the speed and strength of foreign players like Hugo and Ugochukwu to launch counter-attacks.
A notable strength is the flexibility in transition: proactively giving up the ball, keeping the block low but ready to accelerate when space opens up behind the opponent's defense.

Tactics and Hotspots
With the “6 points” nature, the two teams are likely to enter the match cautiously. SLNA needs to control the game at a moderate level to avoid falling into sharp counter-attacks from the opponent. Olaha will still be the central support in the attacking situations: playing the role of a wall, attracting collisions and connecting the second line, while also supporting the defense when not on the ball.
On the opposite side, Becamex HCMC can maintain a low-medium formation, blocking the central spaces, waiting for the opportunity to launch Hugo or Ugochukwu into the space behind the full-back. When the game is compressed, a set-piece situation or individual error can become the turning point.
Notable statistics
- SLNA has 7 points after 10 rounds; equal to the red light group including Da Nang, Thanh Hoa, HAGL.
- SLNA lost 0-1 to the top team Ninh Binh in round 10.
- Becamex HCMC has 11 points, ranked 8th on the rankings.
- Becamex HCMC beat Hai Phong in the previous round, morale is high.
Match script
The match is expected to be balanced and tight. SLNA has the advantage of home crowd, while Becamex HCMC possesses a pragmatic style enough to neutralize the pressure from the stands. If a goal comes, it will most likely come from an individual moment or a set piece – small details that can change the whole situation at Vinh Stadium.
