After a nearly 3-month break, Song Lam Nghe An's force has not changed much. The Nghe team continues to place their trust in the young players, including goalkeeper Cao Van Binh who just had a brilliant performance in the bronze medal match of the 2026 AFC U23 Championship. This significantly reduces the pressure when he has to face the challenge named Hanoi FC in round 12 of the V.League.
Playing at home is an advantage, but Song Lam Nghe An is still underestimated due to limitations in experience and squad depth. Fiery spirit and enthusiasm are the strengths of the young players of Nghe land, but it is their inexperience at key moments that makes them drop favorable results many times.
The problem of maintaining concentration throughout 90 minutes continues to be a big challenge for coach Van Sy Son's team.
On the opposite side, Hanoi FC enters an acceleration phase with many notable changes, including a training trip to Thailand to refresh their fitness and playing style. The Capital team is standing outside the group directly competing for the top spot and is far behind the leading team. Therefore, each remaining match is a "final" if they want to nurture the hope of chasing.
In terms of force and experience, Hanoi is clearly better than their opponent. Recent head-to-head statistics also lean towards the away team as they have won more times against Song Lam Nghe An. Hanoi FC's goal is to win all 3 points to continue the chase in the standings.
The match between Song Lam Nghe An and Hanoi FC takes place at 6:00 PM today (January 31st) and is broadcast live on FPT Play.
