After round 20, SLNA is ranked 6th on the rankings with 27 points, but only 4 points more than the second-to-last team. This number of points is not enough to help the Nghe team stay in the safe group before the end of V.League 2019. Meanwhile, S. Khanh Hoa only has 20 points after 20 rounds and is becoming the leading candidate for relegation.
Compared to SLNA's attack, Khanh Hoa is still better with 23 goals. Khanh Hoa's defense could be a weakness that SLNA can exploit. The team led by coach Vo Dinh Tan this season has suffered 10 losses with 32 goals conceded.

The opportunity for SLNA's strikers to improve their limited scoring record (1 goal/match) will increase as the home team will not have the service of naturalized foreign player Nguyen Trung Dai Duong because he has received 3 yellow cards.
On SLNA's side, in this match SLNA will welcome the return of midfielder Ho Khac Ngoc and possibly Pham Xuan Manh after the former U23 Vietnam player has recovered from injury and returned to training with the team.
In terms of head-to-head record, the two teams have met a total of 10 times since V.League 2015, with SLNA winning 2, drawing 5 and losing 3. However, away from home, the Nghe An team has never lost to their opponents. Captain Nguyen Manh and his teammates won 1 and drew 3 at Nha Trang Stadium.
Meeting Khanh Hoa at this time is a golden opportunity for SLNA to improve their ranking. If they win, coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team will have 30 points and can still return to the Top 4 when the gap with the 4th ranked team - B. Binh Duong is only 2 points.
The match between Khanh Hoa and SLNA will take place at 19:00 on August 18 at Nha Trang Stadium./.
