In the next round, although hosting Dong A Thanh Hoa at home, this will definitely be a difficult match for Song Lam Nghe An.

In terms of form, the Thanh team is in very good form, ranking 2nd in the rankings.V.Leaguewith 11 points after 6 matches. Including an impressive victory against Hanoi Police or a draw with Hanoi Club in the last round. It is worth mentioning that the Capital team had to wait until the last minutes of the match to find the equalizer. It can be said that Dong A Thanh Hoa is a team that brings many challenges to the entire V.League.

This challenge comes from the strong physical foundation that coach Velizar Emilov Popov has built. This helps the Thanh team easily deploy a fast pressing style of play, making it difficult for opponents to deploy the ball.

Not only that, this strong physical foundation also helps Dong A Thanh Hoa's squad attack and defend in a rhythmic manner, helping them always have enough players in both attack and defense. The number of 9 players who have scored goals this season is the clearest proof of Dong A Thanh Hoa's rhythmic attack and defense.

On the other hand, Dong A Thanh Hoa's squad is quite good. They have a backbone of foreign players Gustavo Sant'Ana, Luiz Antônio and Ribamar (replacing injured Rimario Gordon). With this backbone, coach Popov's team can easily deploy their playing style from defense to attack.

Indeed, central defender Gustavo Sant'Ana is both a solid defender and a tactical card in set-piece situations. Meanwhile, Ribamar's speed and sharpness will soon make Thanh Hoa fans forget the absence of Rimario Gordon.

Especially midfielder Luiz Antônio, who has 4 goals and 7 assists after 9 matches this season. This 33-year-old player is the soul of Dong A Thanh Hoa's playing style. And it was Luiz Antônio who scored the only goal in the second leg betweenLam River Nghe Anand Dong A Thanh Hoa in last season.

In addition, the Thanh team's domestic players are also very good. They include goalkeeper Trinh Xuan Hoang with his amazing saves. They include national team player Nguyen Thai Son, who coordinates well with Luiz Antônio in the midfield... Therefore, the Thanh team is certainly not an easy opponent for Song Lam Nghe An in the upcoming round.

Another notable point that makes the Nghe team wary of Dong A Thanh Hoa in the upcoming match is the head-to-head record. In the last 20 matches between the two teams, Song Lam Nghe An only won 4, drew 5 and lost 11. Of which, the Nghe team has gone 9 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory against Dong A Thanh Hoa, a sad record for the Vinh home team.

Last season, Song Lam Nghe An suffered defeats in both home and away matches. The 1-0 defeat at Vinh Stadium almost pushed the Nghe An team to the brink of death.

Therefore, in the upcoming match, even though playing at Vinh Stadium, a draw is still an acceptable result for coach Pham Anh Tuan's team.

Hopefully, the army ofCoach Pham Anh Tuanwill have reasonable tactics along with the efforts of the whole team to be able to achieve favorable results against Dong A Thanh Hoa.

The match between Song Lam Nghe An and Dong A Thanh Hoa will take place at 6:00 p.m. on November 10 at Vinh Stadium.
