At Thong Nhat Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City Club will host Hai Phong in round 22 of LPBank V.League 2024-2025. This will be a difficult challenge for both teams.
Currently, both Ho Chi Minh City and Hai Phong have the same 25 points. However, the Hai Phong team is ranked 7th, while the Southern representative is ranked 9th due to their inferior goal difference.
In the previous round, Ho Chi Minh City just won 2-1 against Thanh Hoa. This result helped them take another step forward on their relegation path. With the current situation, the Thong Nhat Stadium team is almost certain to complete the task.
Meanwhile, Hai Phong was less lucky when they were held to a 0-0 draw by Song Lam Nghe An in the most recent match. They played aggressively and had many opportunities, but the crossbars and vertical pillars each denied the goal for the Hai Phong team.
At this time, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem and his team also do not have many goals to strive for this year's season, after being eliminated from the National Cup. Therefore, they came to visit Ho Chi Minh City with a relaxed mentality and the goal of winning to consolidate their position and stay in the league early.
In the first leg, Hai Phong beat Ho Chi Minh City 2-0 at Lach Tray. The head-to-head record of the last 5 meetings between the two teams also favours Hai Phong, when they won 4 and drew 1 against their opponents.
The match between Ho Chi Minh City and Hai Phong takes place at 7:15 p.m. today (May 9) and will be broadcast live on FPT Play.
