Starting lineup
Pre-match information
After the first 5 rounds of V.League 2025, Hoang Anh Gia Lai has not been able to win any match (there is still 1 round left to play), only winning 2 points from 2 lackluster draws.
Meanwhile, Song Lam Nghe An, although improving with 4 points, has continuously made fans worried, especially in matches where they lost or unfortunately dropped points.
The only positive highlight of the Nghe An team up to this point was the surprise victory over Nam Dinh with a score of 1-0. But immediately after that, they easily lost 0-2 to Hai Phong, drew with Ha Tinh in a one-on-one position and lost 2-3 to Ho Chi Minh City Police despite leading by 2 goals.
The biggest problem for Song Lam Nghe An is the lack of stability and fighting spirit of the young players. Although they still maintain a dedicated playing style and many goals, the lower line often makes mistakes, making the attack's efforts meaningless.
As for Hoang Anh Gia Lai, they chose to approach the match practically, focusing on mass defense and waiting for counter-attack opportunities. However, their weakness is the lack of an attack plan, almost no dangerous opportunities or not being sharp enough to transform into a goal.
After saying goodbye to a series of pillars such as Minh Vuong, Van Son, Ngoc Quang, Hoang Anh Gia Lai no other outstanding domestic player besides goalkeeper Trung Kien. Young players like Vinh Nguyen and Dinh Lam are still too young, while the foreign players are almost disappointing.
If the situation does not improve soon, it is likely that both Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Song Lam Nghe An will be caught up in the fierce relegation race.
