Song Lam Nghe An and the belief of scoring points at Hang Day

Solid defense

As one of the best defenses in V.League at present (6 goals conceded after 9 rounds), it can be said that the defense is a solid support for the Nghe An team.

Although there are no foreign players in the defense line, with players who are and have been players of Vietnam national teams such as Ngoc Hai, Van Khanh, Dinh Hoang, Ba Sang, Sy Hoang... the defense of Song Lam Nghe An can completely lock down any attack line.

Apart from the unfortunate accident at SHB Da Nang's Hoa Xuan Stadium, Song Lam Nghe An's defense played quite well together and covered each other very well. Besides, they also actively participated in the attack, Ngoc Hai and Van Khanh scored their own goals, even Mai Sy Hoang had 1 goal and 2 assists in the recent matches of V.League 2022.

The confrontation between the two captains Ngoc Hai and Van Quyet this weekend will be the decisive factor in the outcome of this match at the top of the V.League table.

Impressive attack

With 3 goals scored against Hai Phong,Lam River Nghe Anscored 12 goals, second most in V.League (after Hai Phong with 14 goals). With the understanding of the trio Olaha, Phan Van Duc and Oseni, Song Lam Nghe An confidently faced Van Hau, Thanh Chung, Duy Manh and Bui Hoang Viet Anh.

Although the defense of Hanoi Club has only conceded 6 goals after 9 rounds, it is not that the defense of the capital team is without flaws. Looking at the way they struggled to defend against Hong Linh Ha Tinh's set pieces in round 9, it can be seen that Song Lam Nghe An can exploit this weakness of Hanoi Club.

Along with receiving 3 yellow cards in the previous round, Truong Van Thai Quy will be absent in this match. When Van Kien and Van Hau are not in the best form, it will be an opportunity for Phan Van Duc, Olaha and Mai Sy Hoang to exploit the gaps on the wings that the opposing team's full-backs left because they were too busy moving up to join the attack.

Taking advantage of the home field, Hanoi Club will attack, that is also the time when Song Lam Nghe An's counter-attack trap will operate, Olaha, Phan Van Duc, Oseni will take advantage of their speed and agility to be ready to punish the home team's defense. If they take advantage of the opportunities, Song Lam Nghe An will have a favorable result on the away field.

Guests "overwhelm" the host

As usual, every time Song Lam Nghe An plays at Hang Day Stadium, the number of spectators of the away team always overwhelms the number of spectators of the home team. A large number of students and workers from Nghe An working in Hanoi come to the stadium and cheer for their hometown team. This is a great source of encouragement for Song Lam Nghe An players, who feel that Hang Day Stadium is like the home field of the Nghe team.

With positive results from the beginningV.LeagueSo far, this weekend, Nghe An fans will continue to "cover" Hang Day Stadium with gold, which is easy to predict. A victory will be a great gift for the fans of the "choa" homeland.

Heaven's time

It seems that even the weather is in favor of the Nghe An team, as this weekend the weather in the North in general and Hanoi in particular will have heavy rain. The poor pitch will greatly affect the passing style of play using short and medium distance passes of Hanoi Club.

Meanwhile, the balls down the flanks or set pieces of Song Lam Nghe An will be even more uncomfortable in such weather. An interesting detail is that 11/12 goals of Song Lam Nghe An came from the flanks or set pieces. With thoseOsenior Olaha, this will be an opportunity for them to show off their physical style of play. Just one moment of lack of concentration in this naval battle will cost them dearly.

With favorable conditions, Song Lam Nghe An marched to Hang Day with great confidence to achieve a positive result against the top team Hanoi Club.
