Pre-match information
Hanoi Police Club will host Lion City (Singapore) in the second match of the 2024-2025 Southeast Asian Cup C1, taking place at 7:30 p.m. today (September 26).
Previously, in the opening match, Hanoi Police made their mark by defeating Thai champions Buriram with a score of 2-1 at Hang Day Stadium, thanks to goals from Phan Van Duc and foreign player Alan.
This result helps the Vietnamese representative temporarily rank 2nd on the table with 3 points, equal in points with Borneo (Indonesia) but inferior in goal difference.
Looking forward to the match against Lion City, Hanoi Police have made careful preparations. Their squad is still the familiar skeleton of Nguyen Filip, Quang Hai, Van Duc, Van Thanh, Thanh Long, Leo Artur, Jason Quang Vinh, Tuan Duong.
Most likely, they will continue to be without the services of central defender Bui Hoang Viet Anh and striker Alan because they have not recovered from injury.
Coach Mano Polking shared: "We are missing Alan, but are trying to find a solution with Leo Artur, Dinh Bac, Van Do. It is just a matter of time because they are all quality players. We hope that in tomorrow's match, Hanoi Police will do better in converting opportunities into goals.
This match will be very important. The team's goal is 3 points and further to the semi-finals. We have started well and we are playing at home."
On the other side, Lion City had a rough start when they lost 0-3 to their opponent Borneo, finishing bottom of the table. However, in the Singapore national championship alone, Lion City is maintaining good form with 35 points after 15 rounds and leading the table.
However, basically, the representative of the lion island is rated lower than Hanoi Police. This is an opportunity for the home team of Hang Day Stadium to win all 3 points.
