Lineup
Pre-match information
The earliest match in round 21 of LPBank V.League is the match between The Cong Viettel and Da Nang at Hang Day Stadium.
With the victory over Song Lam Nghe An in the last match, The Cong Viettel returned to the championship race in 3rd place. However, this team still decided to part ways with coach Nguyen Duc Thang after a series of unstable matches.
The team's successor is coach Popov. He only had a few days to work with the players before his debut match against Da Nang, but was determined to keep 3 points at home.
On the other side, Da Nang also had an important turning point when defeating Thanh Hoa to shorten the score with Binh Dinh on the rankings. This makes the relegation race more dramatic as the teams chase each other fiercely.
In the first leg, Da Nang held The Cong Viettel to a 1-1 draw at home. At this time, the Han River team cannot be compared to Khuat Van Khang and his teammates in all aspects. However, their form and spirit are on the rise, after 3 recent unbeaten matches.
