The reception of Song Lam Nghe An in round 13 of V.League will be a test for The Cong Viettel in the championship race journey. The army team is currently ranked 3rd with 22 points and still has a significant gap from the top position of Cong An Hanoi.
Previously, The Cong Viettel just won an important victory at Lach Tray stadium against Hai Phong FC. Although not overwhelming the opponent in terms of game, coach Velizar Popov's team still won all 3 points thanks to a reasonable approach, tight playing style, patiently waiting for opportunities and taking advantage of decisive moments.
Mr. Popov's mark is clearly shown in the way the team operates. The Cong Viettel plays disciplinedly, controls the tempo and accelerates at the right time. Lucao continues to be the main spearhead with the ability to press, wall and score effectively, while Van Khang's return brings more options for the attacking front.
On the other side, Song Lam Nghe An entered the match in an unfavorable context. The Nghe team just suffered a defeat against Hanoi FC and is still struggling in the second half of the rankings.
Under coach Van Sy Son, Song Lam Nghe An shows signs of improvement in fighting spirit and playing style, but efficiency is still a big problem.
The attack is not sharp, Olaha and Reon Moore have not received enough support from the midfield, causing this team to often have difficulty finishing.
The match between The Cong Viettel and Song Lam Nghe An takes place at 7:15 PM today (February 8), live on FPT Play.
