Thanh Hoa is the reigning champion of the National Cup. Last season, they met Hai Phong in the quarterfinals and continued after winning a penalty shootout.
This year, the two teams will continue to face each other in the knockout round. At this time, Thanh Hoa is going through a 9-match winless streak in all competitions. From the championship race position, Popov and his team have dropped to 3rd place in the V.League rankings.
Letting go of too many draws is a problem for Thanh Hoa, along with ineffective attack. They have only scored 3 goals in the last 6 matches.
On the other side, Hai Phong is showing signs of improvement after the crisis. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's team has just had two consecutive victories in the V.League to break through in the rankings.
At this time, relegation is no longer a big concern for the Hai Phong team. With their confidence reinforced, Hai Phong has a chance to visit Thanh Hoa.
The match between Thanh Hoa vs Hai Phong takes place at 6:00 p.m. today (March 4), broadcast live on FPT Play.
