In the match against Topenland Binh Dinh, what lineup will Song Lam Nghe An play with?

The inability to maintain form prevented Song Lam Nghe An from entering the medal competition group. The current strength of the Nghe An team is only in the average group of V.League 2022. After a convincing 3-0 victory over Binh Duong, will they continue to win 3 points against Topenland Binh Dinh?

Some professional comments

So far, from round 6 to round 13,Lam River Nghe Anin the top group with medals and only after round 7, Song Lam Nghe An is at the top of the rankings. From round 14 until now, coach Huy Hoang and his team have been hovering around 5th and 6th place, unable to return to the desired positions of sponsor Tan Long and Nghe An audiences. With a thin force and performance depending heavily on Van Duc, Song Lam Nghe An is finding it difficult to push the top.

Up to now, Song Lam Nghe An has 8 wins in rounds 1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 12, 19, 23, only 2 consecutive wins when meeting 2 weaker away teams, Ho Chi Minh City (2-0) and Hong Linh Ha Tinh (1-0). This is the time when Olaha and Oseni played quite well and scored goals at Vinh Stadium. This shows that Song Lam Nghe An is having difficulties when playing away, only winning 3 out of 10 times away from Vinh Stadium (losing 4 and drawing 3).

This time, the opponent of the Nghe An team is the home team Quy Nhon, who is currently ranked 3rd in the rankings, 8 points ahead of Song Lam Nghe An, and is trying to compete for 2nd place from Hai Phong. This is a match where the home team Topenland Binh Dinh still does not have the guidance of coach Nguyen Duc Thang, but the main defenders Ho Tan Tai and Do Van Thuan will return to the field.

Topenland Binh Dinh are finishing with a run of 5 consecutive matches without a loss (3 wins, 2 draws), showing why coach Huy Hoang and his team will have a hard time away from home in the next round. Van Duc will meet Ho Tan Tai, Topenland Binh Dinh's best player this season, and whoever is faster and more alert will affect their team's results.

Hot in midfield

In the context of the two teams knowing each other very well, Nguyen Trong Hoang, the player who did not play for Song Lam Nghe An in the first leg (lost 1-2), will be an interesting unknown. It is likely that Mac Hong Quan will be assigned to accompany the "foreign player from Nghe An" who has just returned from injury and had an impressive match in the 3-0 victory over Binh Duong. The midfield battle with the return of "bulldozer" Van Thuan of Topenland Binh Dinh will be much more fierce. It is very likely that the referee will have to use a lot of cards due to the predicted uncompromising confrontation between the players of the two teams that have the most red cards in V.League 2022.

With the return of former national player Nguyen Trong Hoang, coach Huy Hoang played with a 4-4-2 formation. But against the home team Binh Dinh, who are considered the favorites, what strategy Song Lam Nghe An will apply is still unknown. Remember that Ho Tan Tai's crosses have been verified and recognized by coach Park Hang-seo, playing defensively but he has scored 5 goals, which is something Que Ngoc Hai must pay attention to.

People will see Oseni and Hendrio, the foreign players of the two teams with 6 goals, compete together. On the away team, Oseni is full of strength, plays with a lot of energy, while Hendrio is a player who plays spontaneously, with a strong Latin style, next to Rafaelson who also has 5 goals. Looking at Hendrio and Rafaelson with the support of Duc Chinh and Xuan Tu in the match against Viettel, many experts commented that if the away team Song Lam Nghe An plays with 3 central defenders, it is risky.

Many Nghe An fans hope that with the 3-0 victory over Binh Duong, Song Lam Nghe An will reclaim the debt of the first leg in the context of the home team "losing general" Duc Thang due to the penalty. But in our opinion, just winning 1 point at Quy Nhon stadium is enough for the away team to achieve their goal, if they are too absorbed in attacking, the away team will suffer defeat./.
