After 23 rounds, Binh Dinh is at the bottom of the table with 20 points. However, they are only 1 point behind the team above Da Nang, but have played 2 matches less than their opponents.
The chance to stay in the league remains the same for the team from the land of Vo. The remaining four matches for them are all survival.
Signs of improvement have come to Binh Dinh when they change coaches. In his first match leading the new team, Mr. Tran Minh Chien helped the team get a valuable 2-2 draw at home against The Cong Viettel.
The team has not had many breakthroughs in playing style, but Mr. Chien's way of using people is a bit different.
In addition, Binh Dinh's fighting spirit is high. That is very important in the survival period of the season.
Thanh Hoa team is rated higher than Binh Dinh in all aspects in this match. However, they are still on the wrong track despite parting ways with manager Popov and being replaced by Tomislav Steinbruckner.
After the victory over The Cong Viettel, the Thanh team has lost 4 consecutive matches recently. Further in the last 13 matches, Thanh Hoa has only won 1 match.
At this time, Thanh Hoa is almost certain to stay in the league. The chance for them to compete for a position in the top 3 is also not high.
Therefore, the home team's motivation will be an issue for fans to consider. If they play below their strength, they will easily be defeated by Binh Dinh.
In the first leg, Thanh Hoa beat Binh Dinh 4-1 away. But that was the period when Doan Ngoc Tan and his teammates were in good form.
In the last 5 times the two teams have met, Thanh Hoa is also unbeaten against their opponent with 4 wins and 1 draw.
However, with the current situation of both teams, a surprising result is entirely possible.
The Thanh Hoa vs Binh Dinh match will take place at 6:00 p.m. on May 27.
Expected lineups of the two teams:
Thanh Hoa: El Nie, Van Loi, Thai Binh, Van Thuan, Viet Tu, Igor, Luiz Antonio, A Mit, Thai Son, Van Thang, ribamar.
Binh Dinh: Tuan Linh, Salazar, Van Thiet, Van Khoa, Hoang Hung, Ngoc Tin, Van Trien, Xuan Quyet, Duc Huy, Thanh Phong, Rivas.
