According to the match schedule, Quang Nam club will host Thanh Hoa at Tam Ky Stadium, within the framework of the make-up match of round 11 of V.League 2024-2025.
Notably, this is a match without a head coach, because Mr. Van Sy Son (Quang Nam) and Velizar Popov (Thanh Hoa) were both suspended from their duties.
In particular, coach Van Sy Son was not allowed to take on the duties of the next 2 matches due to disciplinary action for his reactions to the referee in the match against Hanoi Police on February 15.
Coach Velizar Popov was not allowed to take on a one-match task due to receiving an indirect red card (2 yellow cards) in the match at Thong Nhat Stadium on February 14 when Thanh Hoa visited Ho Chi Minh City.
This will be a big loss for both teams and they will receive guidance from assistants in the coaching staff.
Currently, Thanh Hoa is ranked second in the group with 23 points, 1 point behind the leader Nam Dinh and 2 points ahead of the 3rd team The Cong Viettel.
Therefore, Thanh Hoa's results will affect the rankings after the first leg ends. If they beat Quang Nam, the Thanh team will take the lead. In case of a draw or loss, they will fall to 3rd place if The Cong Viettel defeats Hanoi Police in the remaining match.
On the other side, Quang Nam has a chance to temporarily escape the "red light" group if they win 3 points at home. The 11th position (12 points) of this team is very fragile and if they stumble, they will lose the opportunity.
The match between Quang Nam and Thanh Hoa takes place at 5:00 p.m. today (February 19) and will be broadcast live on FPT Play.
