Hanoi Police entered the away match at Selangor Stadium after a long break of more than 1 month due to temporary suspension of domestic leagues.
Despite playing some friendly matches to maintain the feeling of the ball, coach Mano Polking's team still faces a big challenge when returning to the official competition schedule, especially in a high-intensity front like the C1 Southeast Asian Cup.
After 3 matches, Hanoi Police has only won 4 points and needs a positive result to improve their position in Group A.
On the other side, Selangor is possessing stable form and continuous play. The Malaysian team is currently ranked second in the national championship with 31 points after 15 rounds, and has won 4/5 of their most recent matches in all competitions.
At the 2025-2026 Southeast Asian C1 Cup, Selangor also temporarily ranked second in Group A with 5 points and still has a chance to rise to the top.
Home advantage and excitement help Selangor to be rated slightly higher. However, the long break also gives Hanoi Police more time to recover physically and stabilize the force.
The match between Hanoi Police and Selangor takes place at 8:00 PM on January 28th and is broadcast live on FPT Play.
