The match between Song Lam Nghe An and Binh Dinh in round 16 of V-League 2024/25 taking place at 6pm on March 8 promises to be very tense as both teams are desperate for points to avoid relegation. The Nghe team is likely to remain loyal to the 4-2-3-1 formation.

In goal, the number one goalkeeper ofLam River Nghe An- Nguyen Van Viet will continue to be a reliable stopper. His quick reflexes and consistent form help him become a solid support for the entire team. In front of Van Viet, the back four includes Vuong Van Huy (left back), Ho Van Cuong (right back), and the central defenders Hoang Van Khanh and Zaracho. This is a combination of youth, experience and physical strength.

Hoang Van Khanh with his extensive battle experience will be the leader of the defense. Alongside him is central defender Zaracho with his effective fighting ability. Both will have to work at full capacity to stop the dangerous spearheads of Binh Dinh, especially the new player Hendrio who has just joined the team from the reigning champion Nam Dinh Steel.

The two full-backs, Van Huy and Van Cuong, not only have defensive duties but are also dangerous drills in counter-attacks. In particular, Ho Van Cuong, with his ability to attack and defend smoothly, will help Song Lam Nghe An open up more diverse attacking options, especially when it comes to creating pressure from the wings.

The center of Song Lam Nghe An’s midfield will be the duo Nguyen Quang Vinh and Ho Khac Ngoc, who will play the role of recovering the ball and initiating attacks. Quang Vinh was the player who played quite prominently in the draw with Cong An Ha Noi in the last round, while Khac Ngoc is the “brain” that controls the tempo of the match, making accurate passes to help open up attacking opportunities.

Notably, Olaha will play in the role of a shuttle midfielder, who is expected to have bold moves to penetrate the opponent's defense. With skillful individual techniques and the ability to create breakthroughs, Olaha will become the "key" to help Song Lam Nghe An seek a 6-point match at Vinh Stadium in this round of 16.

The two wingers of Song Lam Nghe An will be Long Vu (right) and Ngo Van Luong (left). Both have good technique, promising to be dangerous drills on both sides. In particular, Long Vu tends to move inside to finish or coordinate with the central midfielders, this could be an effective option that coach Phan Nhu Thuat will most likely use.

In the highest position in the attack, Kuku will be Song Lam Nghe An's number one hope in scoring goals. Possessing a good physique, good aerial ability and sharp goal-scoring instinct, Kuku can become a nightmare for Binh Dinh's defense. The goal that striker Kuku just scored against Cong An Ha Noi in the last round will be an important mental boost, helping him gain more confidence and the best ball feeling when entering the match against Binh Dinh. If he continues to maintain his form, Kuku can absolutely become the decisive factor in bringing victory to Song Lam Nghe An. However, he will need support from his teammates to have enough ball and not be isolated in the middle of the opponent's defense.

Coach Phan Nhu Thuat's 4-2-3-1 formation helps Song Lam Nghe An maintain a balance between attack and defense. However, to be able to win all 3 points against Binh Dinh, they need to ensure the solidity of the defense and the sharpness of the players in the attack. Binh Dinh is not an easy opponent to defeat. The team from the land of Vo has shown strong reforms recently, especially the recruitment of foreign player Hendrio - a player who can make a difference. If they do not maintain concentration, Song Lam Nghe An can be completely punished by the speedy counterattacks from the opponent.

This match is a life and death battle for both teams in the relegation race. Song Lam Nghe An will have to take full advantage of their home field and a reasonable strategy to hope to win this reverse final.
