Line-up:
Pre-match information
According to the match schedule, Binh Phuoc club will have a trip to Hue in round 5 of the 2024-2025 National First Division.
After the first 4 matches, coach Nguyen Anh Duc's team won 10 points and ranked second in the table. They drew 0-0 with Hoa Binh and won 3 consecutive matches against Khanh Hoa (2-0), Ho Chi Minh City Youth (1-0) and Ba Ria - Vung Tau (3-2).
Binh Phuoc is still 2 points behind the top team Phu Dong Ninh Binh. Therefore, Cong Phuong and his teammates need a victory against Hue to shorten the gap and continue to chase their opponents.
However, in recent matches, the Southeast representative has encountered many problems in their playing style. Despite having a squad with many quality players, Binh Phuoc has struggled to defeat teams that are rated lower. Their attacking plans are easily predictable and the strikers cannot take advantage of opportunities.
They need to improve more, diversify their attacks from both sides to surprise their opponents. If they stumble, Binh Phuoc will easily be left behind.
On the other side of the front line, Hue club had a not too bad start. But compared to last season, the Central team is a bit off. They only got 4 points after 4 matches (1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses) and ranked 6th on the rankings.
Hue's advantage is playing at home at the familiar time of 3pm. On the contrary, this will be a big challenge for coach Anh Duc and his students.
