Song Lam Nghe An vs Ho Chi Minh City Club: Change to win

With Ho Chi Minh City FC's attack only scoring 2 goals after 5 rounds, this is the worst attack in V.League. Despite having names like Endrick Dos Santos, Sorga Erik (Estonian national team player) or Vo Huy Toan, this attack has failed to score in 4/5 matches.

Therefore, this will be an opportunity for coach Pham Anh Tuan to test the 4-defender lineup in the upcoming match. In which, the central defender duo will be Le Nguyen Hoang and Sebastian Zaracho. These 2 central defenders played quite well in the recent match against Quy Nhon Binh Dinh. Hopefully, that form will be repeated in the upcoming match to help the Nghe An team have a clean sheet match.

On the two wings will be Vuong Van Huy on the left wing and most likely the return of Ho Van Cuong on the right wing. This duo will help increase the sharpness of the wing attacks ofLam River Nghe An.

But this duo will also have to focus on defense. Because coach Phung Thanh Phuong's team mainly used wing attacks in the past matches. Especially young defender Ho Van Cuong, who is not highly rated in defense. Therefore, the players in the front line need to regularly drop back to support the two wings of Song Lam Nghe An in the upcoming match.

Most likely, the 4-4-2 formation will be the formation chosen by coach Pham Anh Tuan. The duo Ngo Van Luong and Le Dinh Long Vu will be the wingers used in this match and will often have situations where they drop back to support the full-backs.

In addition, with good speed and the ability to dribble, this duo is completely capable of stirring up the two wings of Ho Chi Minh City Club. Especially Le Dinh Long Vu, this 18-year-old midfielder has the ability to control the ball excellently along with annoying crosses. In this season, Le Dinh Long Vu has had 1 assist after 4 matches on the field.

The central midfielders of the Nghe An team will be Dinh Xuan Tien and Nguyen Quang Vinh. This duo will provide creativity for Song Lam Nghe An's playing style but the defensive ability will be difficult to guarantee. However, if coach Pham Anh Tuan wants to win the upcoming match, he must take risks.

Besides, with the 4-4-2 formation, the Nghe An team will make the most of the strength of the duo Michael Olaha andBenjamin Kukuto attack Ho Chi Minh City Club directly.

The visiting team's central defender duo of 1 foreign and 1 domestic will find it difficult to keep up with the foreign duo of Song Lam Nghe An. Therefore, opportunities will often appear for the home team.

In addition to the offensive situations, the presence of this Nigerian duo in the penalty area will help Song Lam Nghe An's flank attacks always pose many potential dangers to goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang's goal. Because both Benjamin Kuku and Michael Olaha are very good at aerial combat.

The problem of the attack of Song Lam Nghe An is taking advantage of the opportunity to defeat Patrik Le Giang. This Vietnamese-American goalkeeper is 50% of the defense strength of the team from the City named after Uncle Ho. Without the excellence of this goalkeeper born in 1992, the number of goals conceded by Ho Chi Minh City Club would not have stopped at 6.

It can be said that in the upcoming match, coach Pham Anh Tuan will play all out withHo Chi Minh City Clubto find the first victory. Especially when, in the last 4 matches at Vinh stadium, the away team has not known the taste of victory (3 losses, 1 draw).

Hopefully, Song Lam Nghe An will have an excellent match to win the first victory of this year's season.
