(Baonghean.vn) - With Quang Nam's 1-2 defeat to Thanh Hoa, the ticket to stay in the league will belong to coach Ngo Quang Truong and his team if they can get at least 1 point in the match against Hai Phong, taking place at 5:00 p.m. this afternoon (October 16).

Before entering the match with Hai Phong,SLNAis 9 points ahead of Quang Nam, the number of points equal to 3 wins.

Even if they lose to Hai Phong and then lose the remaining three matches, the Nghe An team will hardly have to accept a ticket to play in theNational First Division 2021. Simply, with the current strength and competitive spirit, the possibility of Quang Nam winning 9 absolute points against Nam Dinh, SHB Da Nang and Hai Phong is extremely fragile. Therefore, Phan Van Duc and his teammates are in a very comfortable mood.

However, on the other side of the battle line, the Hai Phong team does not have that. Because at present, Hai Phong is still struggling to escape the "grim reaper". The gap between them and Quang Nam is 4 points, a gap that is not really safe when the second stage still has 3 more rounds to go. The risk of being surpassed by Quang Nam is not small.

Fortunately, the team from Hai Phong did not suffer any losses in terms of personnel when traveling to Vinh Stadium this time. Coach Pham Anh Tuan will have the services of the best "cards", typically goalkeeper Nguyen Van Toan, central defender Pham Manh Hung, midfielder pair Mac Hong Quan - Nghiem Xuan Tu and foreign trio Diego Fagan - Joseph Mpande - Diego Silva.

In fact, what fans are most concerned about is the attitude of SLNA players, after their goal of staying in the league has almost been achieved. Therefore, in a situation where the home team only needs not to lose, and the away team does not want to lose, a draw is very likely to happen. Thereby, SLNA will successfully stay in the league and Hai Phong will be closer to the ticket to stay in the V.League./.
