Pre-match information
Ninh Binh Club is experiencing a period of instability as a series of poor performances has lasted since the defeat to Hoang Anh Gia Lai a few months ago.
The ancient capital team played 5 matches with only draws and losses in the V.League, forcing the leadership to make adjustments on the coaching bench when saying goodbye to coach Gerard and appointing Mr. Vu Tien Thanh as captain.
However, initial changes have not brought about clear results as Ninh Binh continues to experience unsatisfactory results. The victory over PVF-CAND in the National Cup quarter-finals partly helps this team relieve pressure, but the performance is still not enough to create confidence in terms of expertise.
Meanwhile, Hoang Anh Gia Lai, although not winning all 3 points in round 16 when drawing with SHB Da Nang, still showed positive signs in playing style and fighting spirit. The Mountain Town team maintained proactiveness in approaching the match, showing good competitiveness when facing direct opponents.
Currently, Hoang Anh Gia Lai only has 15 points and is ranked 11th in the rankings, not creating a safe gap with the bottom group. In that context, each match is important for the goal of accumulating points.
