QNK.Quang Nam – SLNA: The away team is at a disadvantage.

(Baonghean.vn) -After the disappointing draw at Cao Lanh Stadium with the bottom team Dong Thap in round 22 of V-League 2016, instead of returning to Vinh, the entire SLNA team returned to Ho Chi Minh City to practice and wait for the match with QNK.Quang Nam with the determination of "no win, no return". However, to get 3 points at Tam Ky Stadium is not an easy task?

For more than half of this season, SLNA has been stuck at 11th place on the rankings. If they don't quickly earn points, it's easy for SLNA to drop to 12th place after round 24 when HAGL meets Dong Thap. Next to SLNA are S.Khanh Hoa and XSKT Can Tho. In this round, they will have to face very strong opponents, who are competing for the championship title of the season, SHB.Da Nang and Hai Phong. If they can beat QNK.Quang Nam, it's easy for SLNA to significantly improve their position.

With the brilliance of the duo Diao and Claudecir, along with the dynamism of midfielder Dinh Thanh Trung, QNK.Quang Nam had a series of unbeaten matches before losing in Cam Pha to Than Quang Ninh and HN.T&T right at home. With 6 assists and 8 goals himself, Dinh Thanh Trung is currently the best domestic midfielder in the V-League.

Another notable player of the home team is Phan Thanh Hung, although at a disadvantage in terms of physique, he plays intelligently and tenaciously in the role of an attacking midfielder. Combined with other players with good individual skills such as Minh Tam, Cao Cuong... the home team is expected to play more flexibly and flexibly than SLNA.

Welcoming SLNA, the home team QNK Quang Nam will not have the services of central defender Ngoc Nguyen, winger Van Thuan (injured), Van Hau and Huy Hung (carded). Meanwhile, the away team SLNA also has 2 names that cannot play because they have also received 3 yellow cards: Odat and Thanh Phong. The list of "wounded soldiers" still includes the names Minh Duc, Dinh Hoang, while The Nhat and Ngoc Toan are no longer trusted after the match against SHB.Da Nang.

While Tuan Tai has only shown his desire to compete and still lacks finesse in the final stages, SLNA's achievements in the final rounds depend heavily on Phi Son and goalkeeper Nguyen Manh. Facing a defender Hoang Vissai with abundant physical strength and not afraid of collision, Baba and Phi Son need to play flexibly to pass the ball to the strikers.

On the coaching bench, it is clear that coach Hoang Van Phuc is rated higher, on the pitch, all three lines of the home team QNK.Quang Nam have a leader and are rated higher than the away team. To get points, the away team SLNA must play with a great desire to win, maybe they will get points.
