At Thien Truong Stadium, Nam Dinh Blue Steel Club will host Sanfrecce Hiroshima (Japan) in the first leg of the 1/8 round of AFC Champions League Two 2024-2025.
Regarding the correlation between the two teams, Sanfrecce Hiroshima is considered to be better than the Vietnamese representative. They are a team with an 87-year history in the land of the rising sun, have won the J.League 3 times and are currently the runner-up of this tournament.
Under the guidance of coach Michael Heinz Skibbe, Sanfrecce Hiroshima demonstrated disciplined play based on collective strength, despite the squad not having many stars.
Notably, in addition to the domestic tournament, Sanfrecce Hiroshima also had a quality preparation process when playing 4 international friendly matches with opponents Pakhtakor Tashkent (Uzbekistan), FK Jablonec (Czech Republic), CSKA 1948 (Bulgaria) and KS Cracovia (Poland). This helps Mr. Michael Skibbe and his team confidently set the goal of winning the upcoming match.
As for Nam Dinh, the home team can use up to 8 foreign players in the upcoming match, including two new players Romulo and Marlos - who are expected to fill the void left by Xuan Son after his injury.
In the group stage, Sanfrecce Hiroshima was held to a draw by a weaker opponent, Kaya–Iloilo (Philippines). Therefore, the team from the South has the right to be optimistic about the possibility of gaining points or defeating the representative from Japan.
The match between Nam Dinh and takes place at 7:00 p.m. tonight (February 12) and will be broadcast live on FPT Play.
