Tomorrow's match (April 20) is not the first time that central defender Que Ngoc Hai has faced his real brother in the V.League. However, this time, the player born in 1993 will face Que Ngoc Manh as captain of the Nghe An team. Both brothers, who grew up in the SLNA academy, are the pillars of the defense of the two teams. Ngoc Manh plays as a full-back, Ngoc Hai plays as a central defender, but that does not reduce the heat of the uncompromising confrontation on Vinh Stadium.
B. Binh Duong's National Cup debt

On the V.League rankings, SLNA is in 10th place, one point less and right behind B. Binh Duong who is ranked above. Therefore, if they win 3 points, coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team will surpass the team from the capital. However, it will not be easy for the home team because B. Binh Duong is eager to get revenge for the debt at the 2017 National Cup when SLNA defeated them in both the first and second legs of the final with a total score of 7-2.

The reason why SLNA easily defeated B. Binh Duong in the previous matches was because of the absence of central midfielder Le Tan Tai. The veteran player with a lot of battle experience, who has played 54 times for the national team, will face Ho Khac Ngoc, a new star of V.League who is being highly appreciated by coach Park Hang Seo. Khac Ngoc's youth and sophistication will certainly cause many difficulties for the experienced and cunning senior Tan Tai.
Hot spot Van Duc - Anh Duc

Phan Van Duc and Ho Tuan Tai are two young stars in SLNA's attack. Meanwhile, in B. Binh Duong's attack are veteran Anh Duc and striker Tien Linh. The U23 Vietnam midfielder is in good form with 3 goals after 5 matches and 1 goal in the AFC Cup. Anh Duc, the number 1 choice for the center forward position in the national team, has also scored 2 goals for B. Binh Duong. Surely this duo of players, one old, one young, really want to leave their mark when facing each other.
"Performance" of domestic players
In this match, B. Binh Duong did not have the strongest lineup when To Van Vu received 3 yellow cards, coach Tran Minh Chien could not stand on the pitch to direct because of disciplinary action. The away team came to Vinh stadium with only one foreign central defender from Greece, Alexandros Tanidis, and naturalized player Dinh Hoang Max. On SLNA's side, the home team also only played with foreign player Olaha Michael.

The Nghe team will also have to be wary of B. Binh Duong because the away team is the team with the best average height in V.League. The tall players on B. Binh Duong's side include Tan Tai (1m80), Anh Duc (1m85), Hoang Max (1m82), Du Dat (1m80), Thanh Long (1m82), Trong Huy, Tien Linh (1m79).
The match between Song Lam Nghe An and B. Binh Duong in round 6 of V.League 2018 will take place at 5:00 p.m. on April 20 at Vinh Stadium and will be broadcast live on VTV6./.
