Song Lam Nghe An unexpectedly has advantages because of the competition schedule?
On February 9, Song Lam Nghe An will meet Hanoi Club in the 12th round of V.League. But the early match of round 13 of V.League unexpectedly brought the Nghe team a significant advantage.
After the 11th round, Hanoi Club will be without 3 players Nguyen Thanh Chung,Nguyen Hai Longand Vu Dinh Hai in the next round due to suspensions due to penalty cards. In which, the national duo Nguyen Thanh Chung and Nguyen Hai Long received 3 yellow cards and will have to miss 1 match.
Midfielder Vu Dinh Hai received a red card in the match against Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the last round, so he will be suspended for 2 matches.

However, because Nam Dinh Steel Club had to compete in the AFC Champions League Two, the round 13 match between the Nam Dinh team and Hanoi Club was moved up to February 5. Therefore, in this match, the duo Nguyen Thanh Chung and Nguyen Hai Long could not participate and will return in the match againstLam River Nghe Anat Hang Day Stadium.
This is a big disadvantage for the Nghe An team. Because the quality of this pair of Vietnam National Team players is unquestionable. And the return of the duo Thanh Chung and Hai Long will help the Capital team improve their strength in the midfield and defense.
However, the events at Thien Truong Stadium unexpectedly brought significant advantages to the Nghe An team. First was the red card of Pham Tuan Hai. The striker of the Vietnam National Team was sent off after a dangerous foul on Nguyen Phong Hong Duy.
This means that Pham Tuan Hai will be absent from the upcoming match against Song Lam Nghe An. This will be a "joy" for the players in the Nghe An team's defense as the striker wearing the number 9 shirt scored in both matches last season.
In addition, Pham Tuan Hai's red card in the last minutes of the first half forced Hanoi Club to strain to defend for the remaining 45 minutes of the second half. This caused the physical strength of the players of the capital team to decline significantly. Especially when Hanoi Club only had more than 3 days of rest to welcome the Nghe team at Hang Day Stadium. Therefore, Song Lam Nghe An can completely use their leisure to overcome fatigue in the upcoming match.

Another fatal blow forHanoi Clubin the last match was the match-winning goal of Hendrio Araujo in the 84th minute. With this goal, the Capital team had to accept the second consecutive loss in V.League. Even more sadly, this was the debut match of new coach Hoang Van Phuc. Therefore, the loss to Thep Xanh Nam Dinh will greatly affect the fighting spirit of the Hanoi Club players.
Hopefully, with these advantages, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team will try their best to get a good result right at Hang Day Stadium.
The match between Hanoi Club and Song Lam Nghe An will take place at 7:15 p.m. on February 9 at Hang Day Stadium.
