Starting lineup
Pre-match information
defending champion Nam Dinh is facing pressure from opponent Hanoi FC in the championship race. The representative of the Capital defeated Binh Duong 3-0 away on the evening of April 19, thereby getting 34 points, only 1 point behind Nam Dinh. That creates great pressure for coach Vu Hong Viet and his team.
The home team at Thien Truong Stadium must win this round if they do not want to make it difficult for themselves to defend their championship title. This task may be within the reach of Nam Dinh when their opponent in this round is Da Nang, who is struggling to stay in the league.
Da Nang is currently at the bottom of the table. They have only won 1 match after 18 rounds of this year's tournament. The Han River team has only won 7 more points after 7 draws and 10 losses. In theory, the team's chance to escape is still there, when the team right above them, Binh Dinh, only has more than 6 points. However, with the current defense, Da Nang is very likely to fall behind opponents.
Welcoming Nam Dinh in round 19, Da Nang is the team that is rated lower even though they play at home. The history of confrontations is also leaning towards the away team. In the last 5 meetings, Da Nang lost 4 matches. In the first leg of the V.League 2024-2025 season, Nam Dinh also excellently defeated their opponent with a score of 5-0.
However, the head-to-head record still cannot say anything, especially when Da Nang is in a situation of "nothing to lose".
Force situation
In this match, Da Nang was without midfielder Hong Son because this player had received 3 yellow cards. In addition, center back Cassio is not playing due to injury. Midfielder Thiago Henrique is doubtful to play as he is still affected by injuries.
On the other side, Nam Dinh also does not have the service of Romulo because this foreign player is suspended because of the red card he received in the previous round.
