Pre-match information

Ninh Binh started smoothly with 3 wins, earning 9 points and temporarily ranked 3rd on the rankings. Notably, they are only 1 point behind the top two positions of Hanoi Police and Ho Chi Minh City Police but have played 1-2 matches less.
Therefore, if they continue to defeat Nam Dinh in this match, Hoang Duc and his teammates will rise to the top of the rankings. This is also the goal that Ninh Binh is aiming for to affirm its position and strength.
At the moment, under the guidance of coach Castano Gerard, the rookie of V.League is maintaining stable performance. In addition to the good performance of foreign players such as Gustavo, Silva, Geovane... some key domestic players such as Hoang Duc, Duc Chien, Ngoc Ha, Thanh Trung, Ngoc Quang also created a team to connect and compete effectively.
On the other side, Nam Dinh did not start too badly but did not match its potential. After 4 matches, coach Vu Hong Viet's team only won 7 points (2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss), including a 1-2 loss to Song Lam Nghe An - an opponent that was rated much lower.
Although possessing up to 12 foreign players, in the V.League, Nam Dinh only registered Lucas Alves, Caio Cesar, Njabulo Blom, Percy Tau, Brenner, Romulo. Recently, these foreign players have performed very well in the AFC Champions League Two arena.
