SLNA - Nam Dinh: Who is the supporter of Vinh Stadium?

Up to this point, after 6 rounds of V.League 2019, the Nghe An team is in 3rd place on the rankings with 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. According to statistics, coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team have had the most impressive start in the last 5 V.League seasons.

One of the reasons why SLNA is “flying high” is the ability to take full advantage of playing at home. At the “fire pot of Vinh”, Nguyen Manh and his teammates have won the maximum 9 points after 3 matches. First was the 2-0 victory over Quang Nam Club, then defeated B.Binh Duong Club 2-1 and most recently defeated Thanh Hoa Club with the minimum score (1-0).

It seems that Coach Nguyen Duc Thang's students have completely relieved the pressure when playing at Vinh Stadium, which sometimes happened in previous seasons. The proof is in the match against Thanh Hoa Club in round 5, although having to play with one less player very early (Alves was red carded in the 8th minute), SLNA still had a fairly balanced game, thereby keeping Vinh Stadium with 3 full points.

Therefore, Nghe An fans are hoping that coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team will continue to successfully take advantage of their home field in the match against the team from Thanh Nam, especially in the situation where the Nghe An team is facing a personnel crisis with the absence of Van Duc, Xuan Manh, Tuan Tai, Xuan Thang, Alves (suspended)...

However, not only SLNA considers Vinh Stadium as a support, but the away team Nam Dinh also hopes that the "luck" of Vinh Stadium will help them get a positive result against the home team. Remember, in the last 2 matches played at the "fire pan of Vinh city", coach Nguyen Van Sy and his team both won important victories.

The first match was the away match against SLNA in round 7 of V.League 2018. When they visited Vinh Stadium, Nam Dinh Club had gone through a series of extremely bad matches (1 draw, 5 losses). But with the only goal of Sy Minh, the team from Thanh Nam brought 3 points away from Nghe An in the endless disappointment of the coaching staff, players and home fans.

The second match was the play-off match against Hanoi B Club (now Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club). The 5-3 victory after the penalty shootout (the two teams drew 0-0 in 90 minutes) helped Nam Dinh Club continue to be present in V.League 2019. Mentioning this, Vinh Stadium is also the support for coach Nguyen Van Sy and his team in the upcoming match against SLNA.

Let's wait and see, which team will be the real support of "Vinh city fire pan" in the next round?
