PVF CAND did not start badly in their first season in the V.League. Although they did not have much time to prepare after receiving a replacement for Quang Nam, coach Thach Bao Khanh's team showed that they are ready to face the harshness of the highest level of football in Vietnam.
After 4 matches, PVF CAND has won 4 points (1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses) and is ranked 9th on the rankings. The failures against defending champions Nam Dinh and Hai Phong (in a one-man deficit position) are not a regrettable result. PVF CAND's performance up to this point is acceptable for a rookie of V.League.
PVF CAND's opponent in this round is Hoang Anh Gia Lai, perhaps experiencing the most severe crisis in many years. The Mountain City team is the only club that has not scored any goals so far this season.
No longer a star in the squad, Hoang Anh Gia Lai now have to rely on the talent of young goalkeeper Tran Trung Kien. He was the main factor that helped the team from the Mountain City earn the only point since the beginning of the season, with 10 saves in the match against Hanoi FC.
Coach Le Quang Trai's team played 1 match less than other teams (due to the confrontation with Hanoi Police postponed to December). However, with the recent poor performance, Hoang Anh Gia Lai can hardly think of a positive result. They need to focus on getting each point and first of all, the match against PVF-CAND.
The match between PVF-CAND and Hoang Anh Gia Lai will take place at 6:00 p.m. today (September 27) and will be broadcast live on FPT Play.
