Quang Nam vs. SLNA: A battle for a TOP 5 spot?
(Baonghean.vn) - The result of the match taking place at Tam Ky Stadium tomorrow afternoon (October 23rd) will greatly affect the ranking in V.League 2019 for both the home team and the visiting team from Nghe An.
After round 25, Coach Vu Hong Viet's team is currently in 6th place with 33 points, just one point behind SLNA, who are immediately above them. If Quang Nam can overtake SLNA, they will take 5th place from their rivals, and could even snatch 4th place from Binh Duong if Binh Duong loses to Thanh Hoa. Therefore, Dinh Thanh Trung and his teammates will do everything to secure all three points against visiting SLNA. This is no easy task, as SLNA still has goals to strive for in this year's V.League.

Besides the task of defeating Quang Nam (a necessary condition), the team currently in 3rd place, Than Quang Ninh (36 points), must lose to Hanoi FC, while the team in 4th place, B. Binh Duong (35 points), must not be able to overcome Thanh Hoa at home (a sufficient condition).
Before waiting for the necessary conditions to be met, Ho Khac Ngoc and his teammates must complete the task of defeating Quang Nam. If they fail to win against the home team, SLNA will be knocked out of the TOP 5 if Saigon FC (33 points), HAGL (32 points), Viettel (33 points), or SHB Da Nang (33 points) all secure 3 points in their simultaneous matches.
Therefore, it is clear that the match against Quang Nam still holds great significance for Coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team. The visiting team will be determined to leave Tam Ky Stadium with maximum points.

In the first leg between the two teams in the V.League 2019, Coach Nguyen Duc Thang's team emerged victorious (2-0). And in their last three visits to Tam Ky Stadium, the Nghe An team has always come away with one point.
I wonder what the outcome will be this time?
