Lineup:
Pre-match information:
SHB Da Nang borrowed Tam Ky Stadium (Quang Nam) as their home stadium during the renovation of Hoa Xuan Stadium.
Previously, Hoa Xuan was the home stadium of both SHB Da Nang and Quang Nam while Tam Ky Stadium was under repair, a quite interesting change from now until the end of the tournament. The two "Quang - Da" teams will now also play at home in Tam Ky.
The recent victory will help coach Le Duc Tuan and his team have more confidence and motivation in the fierce relegation battle.
Their opponent is The Cong Viettel - a candidate for this year's tournament. The team is currently temporarily ranked 3rd, but is only 1 point behind Thanh Hoa and 3 points behind Nam Dinh (but has played 2 matches less).
Although having to play at the opponent's field, The Cong Viettel with superior strength is rated higher in this match.
The Cong Viettel will rise to second place in the group if they get a favorable result. Coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team did not want to miss this opportunity.
Bui Tien Dung's suspension will more or less affect the strength of the squad as well as the playing style of the whole team. Therefore, the coaching staff needs to come up with a suitable replacement plan to strengthen the defense.
