SLNA lost 2 foreign players in the match against Nam Dinh in round 18 of V.League

In the match against HAGL, defender Tran Dinh Hoang was absent because he received 3 yellow cards. And in the upcoming match against Nam Dinh in round 18 of V.League at Thien Truong Stadium, the player born in 1991 will return.

However, SLNA will suffer a big loss in the match against the team from Thanh Nam when the foreign duo Michael Olaha and Damir Memovic will be suspended due to card penalties (3 yellow cards). Thus, coach Nguyen Duc Thang only has 1 foreign player left, Joel Vinicius.

Without Michael Olaha in the context of Phan Van Duc's injury, SLNA's attack is predicted to have difficulty making a difference on the opponent's field. It is possible that striker Ho Tuan Tai will be paired with Vinicius in the center forward position.

The worrying thing is that rookie Joel Vinicius has not shown 100% form, he only scored 1 goal in the second leg of V.League 2019 for SLNA. And that was a penalty goal in the match against Saigon FC.

As for the central defender position, SLNA still has 3 backup options: Pham The Nhat, Nguyen Ba Duc and Le Thanh Lam. Of which, The Nhat is the most optimal option to pair with Hoang Van Khanh.

SLNA will have 1 week to prepare for the away match against Nam Dinh Club in the next round taking place on July 28. Last season, coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team won 3-2 against Nam Dinh with goals from Jeremie Lynch, Phan Van Duc and Michael Olaha./.
