Pre-match information
Thanh Hoa Club will host Hai Phong in the 1/8 round of the 2024-2025 National Cup. Because the Thanh team was involved in the previous Southeast Asian Cup C1 match schedule, this match was postponed to March.
Thanh Hoa is the reigning champion of the National Cup. Last season, they also met Hai Phong in the quarterfinals and continued after winning a penalty shootout.
This year, the two teams will continue to face each other in the knockout round. At this time, Thanh Hoa is going through a 9-match winless streak in all competitions. From the championship race position, coach Popov and his team have dropped to 3rd place in the V.League rankings.
Letting go of too many draws is a problem for Thanh Hoa, along with ineffective attack. They have only scored 3 goals in the last 6 matches.
On the other side, Hai Phong is showing signs of improvement after the crisis. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's team has just had two consecutive victories in the V.League to break through in the rankings.
At this time, staying in the league is no longer a big concern for the Hai Phong team. With their confidence reinforced, Hai Phong has a chance to visit Thanh Hoa.
