The AFC supercomputer predicts CAHN has a 52% chance of winning against Tampines Rovers in the round of 16.
Despite facing administrative troubles and the risk of penalties, Hanoi Police FC is still highly rated by AFC's data analysis system as having a strong chance of winning.
Hanoi Police FC (CAHN) has a 52% chance of winning against Tampines Rovers in the second leg of the AFC Champions League Round of 16, according to predictions from the AFC's supercomputer. This data appears to be a positive sign as the police team strives to overcome pressure from procedural errors in registration for the competition.
Statistics show an advantage for the Vietnamese representative.
Based on AFC's in-depth data analysis system, CAHN, despite playing away from home, is still considered the favorite. Specifically, the probability of victory for coach Alexandre Polking's team is 52%, far exceeding the possibility of Tampines Rovers causing an upset, which is only 40%. The scenario of the two teams drawing is considered very unlikely, with a mere 8% probability.

These figures are not only based on the decisive result in the first leg but also reflect CAHN's stability. In their last 18 matches across all competitions, the V-League representative has won 11 times, demonstrating consistent form and superior personnel quality compared to their Singaporean opponents.
Overcoming pressure from personnel errors
The confidence from the prediction system is a much-needed morale boost as CAHN faces a major off-field challenge. Despite winning 4-0 in the first leg, the fact that two foreign players, Stefan Mauk and Rogerio Alves, played after accumulating enough yellow cards violated AFC regulations, putting the team at risk of a heavy penalty.
Faced with these controversies, coach Alexandre Polking demonstrated the composure of a seasoned manager. He frankly admitted shortcomings in management but affirmed that the team's sole objective was to continue proving its true capabilities on the field rather than getting caught up in administrative troubles.
Determined to prove oneself
Speaking ahead of the crucial match, coach Alexandre Polking affirmed: "We need to fight and win again from the beginning." This statement served as a rallying cry, boosting the morale of the entire team to transform pressure into motivation.
The second leg match between CAHN and Tampines Rovers is not only significant for securing a place in the next round of the AFC Champions League 2, but also an opportunity for the Vietnamese representative to demonstrate their professional class. With the support of statistics and high determination, CAHN is expected to overcome adversity and assert their position in the continental arena.
