SLNA beat Than Quang Ninh, why not?
(Baonghean.vn) - Before the away match of coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team at Cam Pha Stadium of Than Quang Ninh in round 11 of V.League 2020, Nghe An football fans are confident of a victory for Phan Van Duc and his teammates. Simply, SLNA is possessing favorable opportunities to defeat the team from the Mining land.
Quang Ninh Coal has inconsistent performance.
Although currently ranked 4th on the rankings with 16 points won, the team from the Mining land has still shown instability in performance since the beginning of the season until now. The achievements of Huynh Tuan Linh and his teammates at V.League 2020 are quite similar to a "sine wave graph". After a loss comes a win, after disappointment comes sublimation and vice versa.

They can defeat the defending champion Hanoi (3-1), win the Northeast derby against Hai Phong (1-0) or make SHB Da Nang "regret" right at Hoa Xuan Stadium... However, coach Phan Thanh Hung and his team can also easily be "exposed" by HAGL, Thanh Hoa or rookie Hong Linh Ha Tinh. Stability in performance is a luxury for the home team at Cam Pha Stadium.
In the last round, coach Phan Thanh Hung and his team unexpectedly defeated SHB Da Nang right at Hoa Xuan Stadium, thanks to a double goal from Diego Fagan. Therefore, Nghe An football fans are hoping that Than Quang Ninh will again be defeated in the next round, against SLNA, just like the way they lost to Hong Linh Ha Tinh and Ho Chi Minh City Club.
The home team at Cam Pha Stadium lost "dirty back, empty stomach" to a rookie team like Hong Linh Ha Tinh, so there is no reason to guarantee that they will not have to accept defeat when welcoming coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team. The fluctuating form of Than Quang Ninh will be the basis for SLNA and Nghe An football fans to believe in a victory against the home team.
The away team is in a "back against the wall" position.
5 consecutive matches with only draws and losses have knocked coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team out of the TOP 8, the group competing for the championship. "To avoid a long night of dreams", having to compete for a relegation spot in phase 2 (TOP 6 teams at the bottom of the rankings), SLNA must quickly return to the winning track, the immediate goal is to achieve a positive result on Than Quang Ninh's field.

Certainly, Phan Van Duc and his teammates will play with over 100% of their strength against the home team, to leave Cam Pha Stadium with points in hand. Don't forget, in football, spirit is always an extremely important weapon. Therefore, teams in a "dead end" situation are often very dangerous. SLNA is such a case. And as long as Nguyen Van Hoang, Phan Van Duc, Ho Tuan Tai... play with the highest form and determination, any opponent can be defeated.
Especially in this trip to Cam Pha, the Nghe team will have the service of rookie Felipe Martins, a player who played for HAGL last season. It is not known how Felipe Martins will perform, but the appearance of the Brazilian striker will bring a new breath of life to SLNA's attack, which is currently disappointing. Currently, the away team has only scored 7 goals, ranking second in the list of teams with the worst attack in the tournament (after Hai Phong).
Fortunately for Phan Van Duc and his teammates, Than Quang Ninh's defense is also considered "fragile". After 10 rounds, goalkeeper Huynh Tuan Linh has had to pick the ball out of the net 14 times, the fourth most in V.League 2020 (equal to Hai Phong, the team ranked second to last on the rankings). Obviously, the opportunity for the strikers of the Nghe An team is not small./.
