Despite having 20 points, Da Nang club is still at the bottom of the table in V.League 2024-2025. Therefore, every match against the team on the banks of the Han River is a final match.
This week, their opponent is Hoang Anh Gia Lai - a team that only needs 1 more point to be sure to stay in the league this season.
However, it is not necessary to think that Hoang Anh Gia Lai will "stand firm" with their opponents. After the defeat against Binh Dinh, Nam Dinh and beautiful statements about football, the team from the mountain town will fight against Da Nang. If they win the match, Binh Dinh will have more opportunities to stay in the league.
Last week, coaches Vu Tien Thanh and Le Quang Trai gave a series of key players a break.
In such a situation, it was not surprising when Hoang Anh Gia Lai lost 1-6 to Nam Dinh.
And it seems that this defeat did not affect the psychology of the team from the mountain town much. They are determined to beat Da Nang.
Of course, Hoang Anh Gia Lai will be steadfast in its tactics. Jairo Rodrigues commands the defense with a fierce playing style, not afraid of collisions.
Midfielders like Maricel, Ngoc Quang and Thanh Son do not hesitate to make mistakes, as long as they can prevent Da Nang club. The goal of winning 1 point seems not to be too difficult for the home team at Pleiku.
On the other side of the front line, Da Nang understands that 1 point is not enough for them at this time. Coach Le Duc Tuan will fully use all 3 foreign players and focus on the attack front.
Thiago and Emerson will return after many absences due to injury. The pressure to score by Phan Van Long and Minh Quang was significantly reduced.
Da Nang Club can play with a 3-5-2 tactical formation. However, an adjustment may appear in the defense when Cassio Scheid has fully recovered. Whether he will bring him on the field or not depends on Mr. Tuan's calculations.
Among the bottom teams, Da Nang showed the most unbelievable form with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 6 matches. But they need to continue to win or at least get points to maintain their hope of staying in the V.League 2024-2025.
The match between Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Da Nang will take place at 5:00 p.m. on May 23.
