Pre-match information
In round 20 of LPBank V.League 2024-2025, The Cong Viettel club will host Song Lam Nghe An at Hang Day Stadium.
At the moment, The Cong Viettel is ranked 4th with 30 points. Two disappointing draws against Hong Linh Ha Tinh, Quang Nam and a defeat against Thanh Hoa made it impossible for coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team to maintain a stable streak.
Against an opponent racing to stay in the league like Song Lam Nghe An, this is an opportunity for The Cong Viettel to accumulate points and return to the championship race. However, they still need to be careful because the young Nghe An players always know how to make breakthroughs and make things difficult for the opponent. Just stumble, the army team will have to pay the price at any time.
On the other side, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team is trying to achieve a favorable result. Currently, Song Lam Nghe An is only 3 points ahead of Binh Dinh - the play-off location, not a safe distance. Therefore, Van Viet and his teammates do not want to leave empty-handed in the upcoming away trip.
In this round, The Cong Viettel will not have the service of central defender Nguyen Duc Chien, while Ho Khac Ngoc is absent from the Song Lam Nghe An squad because he has received 3 yellow cards.
