Starting lineup
According to the match schedule, Nam Dinh Blue Steel Club will face Quang Nam at Thien Truong Stadium in the second round of V.League 2024-2025. This is an opportunity for the Southern team to seek their first points.
Previously, in the opening match, Nam Dinh surprised many people when they lost 0-1 to Hong Linh Ha Tinh. The absence of Rafaelson affected the defending champion's strength, especially their attacking options and putting pressure on the opponent.
In this round, the striker born in 1997 returned to compete with a new name - Nguyen Xuan Son, after successfully obtaining Vietnamese citizenship a few days ago.
With the appearance of Xuan Son as a domestic player, Nam Dinh will likely add another foreign player to the squad to increase the aforementioned strength.
On the other side, Quang Nam also had an unsuccessful opening match when they lost 0-4 to Hoang Anh Gia Lai.
After last season, the Quang Nam team said goodbye to a series of quality players, including Paulo Conrado, Le Xuan Tu, Mach Ngoc Ha... Therefore, their force was seriously damaged.
Facing Nam Dinh in this match, coach Van Sy Son and his team are predicted to face many difficulties. If they continue to "lose", Quang Nam will be left behind in the rankings.
The match between Nam Dinh and Quang Nam will take place at 6:00 p.m. today (September 22) and will be broadcast live on FPT Play.
