Lineup
Pre-match information
In round 19 of V.League 2024-2025, the Hanoi Police team will play at home against Ho Chi Minh City. Comparing the strength correlation, the home team is clearly showing superiority over the away team.
For Hanoi Police, after the victory in round 18 against Hoang Anh Gia Lai, coach Mano Polking and his team are only 2 points behind the top 3, even 3 points behind the second-placed team Hanoi FC.
If coach Mano Polking and his team maintain their form, the rankings can continue to improve right after this round, which is completely feasible. Therefore, hosting the 10th-placed team Ho Chi Minh City, Quang Hai and his teammates will aim for a victory.
On the other side, in the last 7 matches, Ho Chi Minh City has only won 1 match. Most recently, the Southern representative held Nam Dinh to a draw in a match in which they were completely pressured. With excellent defense and high fighting spirit, Ho Chi Minh City left Thien Truong with a valuable point.
This will be a source of spiritual encouragement for the students of coach Phung Thanh Phuong.
However, in the upcoming match, Hanoi Police will still be considered the better team. Although they lost 1-2 in the first leg at Thong Nhat Stadium, with home advantage and the players in the squad, 3 points is something that can be in the hands of the Police team.
