Line-up
Pre-match information
For the home team, Kaya Iioilo has not played any matches in the past month. Although he is the current champion of the Philippine National Championship and is leading the rankings this season, Kaya Iioilo has contributed very little to the national team at the ASEAN Cup 2024.
They only have goalkeeper Patrick Deyto in the squad. This also helps Kaya Iioilo club have a full squad to prepare thoroughly when returning to the C1 arena.
Up to now, after the first two matches, the representative of the Philippines has not been able to gain any points after 2 defeats and 8 goals conceded. Obviously, the opponent of the Hanoi Police team is not in good form.
On the other side, the Vietnamese representative has 6 points, temporarily leading Group B of the 2024-2025 Southeast Asian Cup C1. Coach Mano Polking and his team won 2-1 against Buriram United and got 3 more points thanks to a 5-0 victory over Lion City Sailors in round 2.
Currently, the Police team owns a squad with the best quality names such as Quang Hai, Thanh Long, Nguyen Filip, Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Van Thanh, Van Duc... and quality foreign players such as Leo Artur, Vitao, Alan Grafite...
However, the Hanoi Police Club also needs to be cautious in this away match as they have just had a long break. Except for the players who have just competed in the ASEAN Cup 2024, the remaining players need to have high concentration to get the best feeling of the ball when playing on Kaya Iioilo's field.
