After a somewhat shaky start, Hanoi FC is returning to the track with 6th place on the rankings. Under the leadership of interim coach Kiyoshi Adachi, the capital team went through 3 consecutive unbeaten matches, including 2 important victories against Dong A Thanh Hoa and SHB Da Nang.
More than a week ago, the Hanoi FC board of directors officially appointed coach Harry Kewell - a former famous player who played for Liverpool and Leeds United. The appearance of the Australian coach is expected to bring a new vitality to the home team at Hang Day Stadium.
Coach Kewell only has about 10 days to get acquainted with the team before making his debut match against Ninh Binh FC - the team leader.
Although still unbeaten after 6 rounds, the Ancient Capital team is showing signs of slowing down when they were consecutively held to draws by Hai Phong and The Cong Viettel. In particular, the 1-1 draw against Viettel despite having more players caused Gerard Albadalejo's team to miss the opportunity to increase the gap.
The away trip to Hang Day will be a difficult challenge for Ninh Binh. Hanoi Club is in high spirits and is motivated by the appearance of a new captain.
In this match, the home team can use Do Hoang Hen as a domestic player, while Ninh Binh loses its force due to the absence of Chau Ngoc Quang due to injury and Geovane is suspended.
The match between Hanoi FC and Ninh Binh FC will take place at 7:15 p.m. today (October 18) and will be broadcast live on FPT Play.
