The 21st Super Cup will be an unforgettable memory for the coaching staff, players of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi Club. It will be held during the Covid-19 pandemic so there will be no spectators. The organizers decided not to sell tickets to spectators because the health and safety of the people is the top priority. Each fan club will be allowed to send 40 fans to the stadium to cheer, while complying with the strictest epidemic prevention measures.

Super Cup without spectators
Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF) Tran Anh Tu said: “This is the first time the National Super Cup has been held at Thong Nhat Stadium (HCMC). Therefore, HCMC football fans are very much looking forward to it. However, in the context of the epidemic, we need to put the issue of ensuring community safety first. This is an unavoidable issue, so we hope to receive the understanding of fans as well as the media.”
Host Ho Chi Minh City has an advantage over Hanoi in the preparation process for the match when they have played 3 matches in the AFC Cup 2020 (1 AFC Champions League play-off match, 2 AFC Cup matches) in which due to the Covid-19 epidemic, Hanoi Club only practiced and played a few internal test matches. In the friendly match before leaving for Ho Chi Minh City, they drew 1-1 with Viettel.

While Ho Chi Minh City FC is participating in the Super Cup for the first time, Hanoi FC has participated 5 times and won 2 times. Through 20 Super Cups, Song Lam Nghe An and B. Binh Duong are the most successful teams with 4 Super Cup wins. Next are Hanoi and HAGL, both of whom have won the Super Cup 2 times.
Surprisingly, among the 12 teams that have received the Super Cup, there is no team from the city named after Uncle Ho, although representatives from this city have participated 6 times (Ho Chi Minh City Police 2 times, Saigon Port 2 times, and Navibank SG, XM Xuan Thanh SG).
Regarding the force, Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem did not have many additions, except for Rimario. But it can be said that Hanoi's force is stable, has squad depth and excellent individuals such as Van Quyet, Nguyen Quang Hai, Pape Omar Faye...
Challenge for the pair "Messi - Ronaldo Vietnam"
Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City is the most stable team in the preparation for the season. They recruited Tien Dung, Cong Phuong, Xuan Nam early and weighed up the foreign players, until the 89th minute, names like midfielder Seo Yong-Duk and striker Alex Lima were the ones chosen.

Coach Chung Hae-Soung understands very well that overcoming the 5-point gap last season with his colleague Chu Dinh Nghiem is not an easy thing. It is not by chance that he considers Hanoi the most successful club in the past 10 years. The Super Cup match is an opportunity for him to review the preparation process, to see what Cong Phuong and Phi Son can do against the most solid defense in V.League.
Because Romario and Dinh Trong are injured, Hanoi will play with a 4-5-1 formation with Pape Omar Faye as usual. Quang Hai's ability to play is 50/50, Thanh Luong will be ready to replace him. With many versatile players, Hanoi can switch to a 4-1-4-1 formation when needed, to balance the squad between attack and defense.
Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City is succeeding with the 4-2-3-1 formation with the spearhead Amido Balde, the attacking triangle Nguyen Cong Phuong, Amido Balde, Tran Phi Son (c), especially the pair "Messi- Vietnamese Ronaldo" can penetrate the defense of the away team consisting of all national players Do Duy Manh, Thanh Chung, Tran Van Kien. To be fair, Hanoi Club is still better and has a 55% chance of winning the 3rd Super Cup.
EXPECTED LINEUP
Ho Chi Minh City(4-2-3-1): Nguyen Thanh Thang, Nguyen Huu Tuan, Diakité, Sam Ngoc Duc, Nguyen Cong Thanh, Ngo Hoang Thinh, Vu Anh Tuan, Tran Phi Son (c), Vo Huy Toan, Nguyen Cong Phuong, Amido Balde
Hanoi Club(4-5-1): Nguyen Van Cong, Do Duy Manh, Thanh Chung, Tran Van Kien, Nguyen Van Dung, Do Hung Dung, Moses Oloya, Pham Duc Huy, Nguyen Van Quyet (c), Nguyen Quang Hai, Pape Omar Faye
Forecast:Ho Chi Minh City 1-2 Hanoi
