Before entering round 22 of V.League, Hoang Anh Gia Lai had 24 points, ranking 10th on the rankings. This achievement could still see them dragged into the relegation race.
Coach Le Quang Trai and his team need more points to cut the behind teams. But certainly the task of getting points against The Cong Viettel will not be easy.
In the previous round, The Cong Viettel won big against Song Lam Nghe An with a score of 6-0 on the day of debut of coach Velizar Popov.
Although currently facing a big disadvantage in the championship race, with a new breeze from coach Popov, the capital representative is still full of determination to chase. They can still dethrone Hanoi to win the runner-up position this season.
The team from the Mountain City has won 2/3 of their most recent home matches, against opponents in the middle of the rankings, Binh Duong and Hai Phong.
However, in the last 6 matches against The Cong Viettel, Hoang Anh Gia Lai lost 4 matches. This season, the army team has also defeated Hoang Anh Gia Lai twice, including a 2-1 victory in the V.League and a 2-0 victory in the National Cup.
