At Vinh Stadium, Song Lam Nghe An Club will host Hanoi FC in round 22 of LPBank V.League 2024-2025.
The 0-3 loss to Nam Dinh in the last round was an unforgettable defeat for Hanoi FC. That was a rare time in history, the capital team lost 3 goals in just 1 half, and also the first time in 10 years that they "done" 4 consecutive times against the same opponent.
This defeat also caused coach Makoto Teguramori and his team to lose steam in the 2024-2025 V.League championship race. At the moment, Hanoi FC has 37 points, 5 points behind the leader Nam Dinh. Not to mention, the match schedule of the team from Thanh Nam is much more favorable than that of Hanoi.
Therefore, against a team that is rated lower than Song Lam Nghe An, Van Quyet and his teammates were forced to win to continue chasing. In addition, that is also the motivation for Hanoi FC to aim for more favorable results in the remaining matches.
On the other side, the Nghe An team is also competing fiercely for relegation. Coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team are ranked 12th with 20 points, just 1 point above Binh Dinh's play-off position. Therefore, they also need 3 points to maintain a safer distance.
In case Song Lam Nghe An loses to Hanoi and Binh Dinh wins to Da Nang in the "reverse final", the Vinh home team will be pushed down to a dangerous position. In a state of being a wall, Song Lam Nghe An had no other choice but to strive to defeat Hanoi.
The match between Song Lam Nghe An and Hanoi will take place at 6:00 p.m. today (May 10) and will be broadcast live on FPT Play.
