SHB Da Nang - Song Lam Nghe An: Guests overwhelm hosts
(Baonghean.vn) - At 5:00 p.m. today (July 19), coach Nguyen Huy Hoang and his team will visit SHB Da Nang at Hoa Xuan Stadium, which is considered the "promising land" of the Nghe An team.
This season, the Han River team has made positive changes, at least compared to recent seasons. Under the leadership of veteran coach Phan Thanh Hung, SHB Da Nang is gradually becoming a very difficult team to beat. The 2-1 victory over Hanoi FC and the 2-2 draw against B.Binh Duong (2 times taking the lead) are clear proof.

However, the opponent of Dang Anh Tuan and his teammates in this round is Song Lam Nghe An, the team leading the rankings. Although coach Nguyen Huy Hoang is quite young on the coaching bench, the quality of Song Lam Nghe An's squad is among the TOP in V.League 2022, with the presence of Que Ngoc Hai, Pham Xuan Manh, Phan Van Duc, Michael Olaha...
In terms of performance, coach Nguyen Huy Hoang's team is slightly better than the home team. While Song Lam Nghe An won 2 consecutive victories against Ho Chi Minh City Club (2-0) and Hong Linh Ha Tinh (1-0), SHB Da Nang was just defeated by Hoang Anh Gia Lai (0-1) and held to a draw by B.Binh Duong (2-2). It is clear that the performance of the 2 teams is not equal.
Up to now, after 7 rounds, Song Lam Nghe An is sitting comfortably at number 1, while SHB Da Nang is floundering at number 10. The gap between the two teams is 6 points (13 vs 7), and the Nghe team is playing 1 match less (rested in round 5). It can be said that the position on the rankings has somewhat reflected the strength of the two teams.

Even the advantage of Hoa Xuan stadium belongs to the away team from Nghe An. Because since SHB Da Nang moved to Hoa Xuan stadium (2017 season), Song Lam Nghe An's performance against the home team has been very impressive. According to statistics, in 5 times traveling to Hoa Xuan stadium, the Nghe team has had very positive results: 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
Most likely, the match will take place at 5pm today, Song Lam Nghe An will continue to be the ones enjoying the joy of victory. Simply, not only is the Nghe team better in terms of form, they also have quite good records in their visits to Hoa Xuan Stadium in the past./.
