Looking at the rankings, the gap between the top and bottom teams is only 1 win, all matches are important. After losing to HAGL, we have learned a lot of experience and encouraged each other to do it again in this match. SLNA is in good form after 2 wins, especially SHB Da Nang has helped SLNA have good spirit. Viettel needs to be careful with many spearheads on SLNA's side."
One of the players that Que Ngoc Hai must be most wary of in this match isPhan Van Duc. The 1996-born player just scored a double in round 5 at Hoa Xuan Stadium. Commenting on his former teammate, Ngoc Hai shared: “Duc always has special qualities, he is a versatile attacking player. Every team needs a player who can create breakthroughs like Duc. After the injury, he is in the same high form as before the injury. Phan Van Duc is also the most dangerous striker on SLNA's side."

Final,Que Ngoc Haionce again pointed out SLNA's strengths: "SLNA has always been famous for its fighting spirit and solidarity. SLNA always has the home field advantage, the support of Nghe An audiences is very fierce. Every season SLNA has many young players. When the big players leave, the young players all meet the professional requirements.
As I said, Phan Van Duc is an extremely good individual, SLNA is a team with good collective play, Viettel's defense system will have to be careful not only with Duc but also with quality foreign players. Viettel's defense system needs to be especially focused. We have watched the tape and analyzed the recent goals conceded, every team has to go through difficult times, the important thing is to learn from the defeat, focus to regain confidence."
