Song Lam Nghe An vs Becamex Binh Duong: Will history be repeated?

The break did not seem to help the Nghe An team much. They still played unfocused in defense. In the match against CQuang Nam ClubRecently, with the strongest frame, the defense still made mistakes. Van Hung's masterpiece came from an unsafe handling situation by captain Que Ngoc Hai and the poor ability to counter high balls of the Song Lam Nghe An defense.

If the Nghe An team's defense does not improve in the upcoming match against Becamex Binh Duong, it will be difficult for coach Huy Hoang and his team to get a favorable result. When the attack of the team from the land of Thu has extremely dangerous killers. They are the current top scorer of V.League Rimario Gordon (with 4 goals after 4 matches) and the best striker in Vietnam at the moment Nguyen Tien Linh. It was Tien Linh who scored in the 4-0 victory against Hue Football Club.

Fortunately, the defense of Song Lam Nghe An will have the return of center back Vytas Gaspuitis, who had to sit out the match in the first round of the National Cup. Hopefully in this match, he and captain Que Ngoc Hai will be able to lock down the sharp strikers of Becamex Binh Duong.

The battle in the midfield will also be fierce when the strength of the duo Moses Oloya and Tran Trung Hieu is a threat to the midfield of Song Lam Nghe An. Especially when the creativity of the Nghe An team depends too much on veteran Trong Hoang. If No. 9 does not have support from his teammates, coach Huy Hoang's team will be the ones at a disadvantage right on their home field.

In this match it is very possibleXuan Manhwill return to the anchor midfielder position to strengthen the midfield. The remaining position will be a competition between the young midfielder duo Tran Nam Hai and Dinh Xuan Tien. The advantage belongs to Nam Hai as he is the one with better form this season.

On the attack line, the foreign duo Michael Olaha and Jordy Soladio will still be the familiar choices of coach Huy Hoang. This duo is gradually finding a connection with each other. This match will be a great opportunity for Olaha and Soladio to shine because the defense is the weakest point of Becamex Binh Duong Club at the moment. After 4 matches, coach Nguyen Quoc Tuan's team has conceded 6 goals. Besides, Manh Quynh and Tran Dinh Tien will also be the ones ready to make a difference for the attack line of the Nghe An team.

A notable point is the history of confrontation between the two teams in the past 5 years, Song Lam Nghe An has never lost to Becamex Binh Duong. The Nghe team has had 9 wins and 1 draw in the last 10 confrontations. This is a great support for coach Huy Hoang and his team in this match.

However, to continue to extend the unbeaten streak against Becamex Binh Duong, the coaching staff of the Nghe An team must revive the players' spirit. Especially after the disappointing loss to Quang Nam Club in the first round of the National Cup. If coach Huy Hoang's team still has no changes, the history of confrontation is just a meaningless statistic.

In recent days, Nghe An fans have received a series of bad news. Not only was Song Lam Nghe An eliminated from the National Cup, but the U19 Song Lam Nghe An team lost two consecutive matches and was at a disadvantage in Group B of the U19 National Qualifiers. In addition, the formerPhan Van Ducalso suffered a very serious injury and had to rest for 9 months. Right now, Nghe An fans really need a victory against Becamex Binh Duong to ease those sorrows. And victory is also the only medicine to save Song Lam Nghe An from a crisis of confidence.
