Lineup
Pre-match information
On the evening of November 23, Nam Dinh will host Long An at Thien Truong Stadium in the 1/8 round of the 2025-2026 National Cup.
Under the leadership of new coach Mauro Jeronimo, Nam Dinh aims to create a positive start after a period of decline in V.League and AFC Champions League Two.
Despite being the reigning V.League champion, the team from Thanh Nam is still facing difficulties due to injuries and unstable performance of many key players. The Long An reception is considered an opportunity for the home team to regain the rhythm of the competition and the winning spirit.
Long An entered the match with a not-so-good form. The Western team has only 7 points after 7 rounds in the First Division and is still rated significantly lower in terms of strength and competition experience. Being a guest at Thien Truong makes the challenge even heavier.
Nam Dinh has an advantage when striker Xuan Son returns after scoring for the Vietnam national team. The appearance of this striker is expected to help the home team improve performance in the context of foreign players not yet in high form.
With the advantage of the field, the quality of the squad and determination under the reign of coach Mauro, Nam Dinh is considered to have a high possibility of winning a ticket to the quarter-finals.
