Pre-match information
According to the match schedule, The Cong Viettel Club will face Hanoi FC in the second round of LPBank V.League 2024-2025. The "Capital derby" is one of the key matches in this round.
In the opening match, Hanoi FC had a very difficult time when facing Quy Nhon Binh Dinh. It was not until the 82nd minute that striker Van Quyet scored an impressive goal outside the penalty area to help the purple team win a narrow 1-0 victory over their opponent.
On the other side, The Cong Viettel did not have a smooth start when they traveled to Thong Nhat Stadium. Bui Tien Dung and his teammates only got 1 point after a goalless draw against Ho Chi Minh City. Therefore, they are determined to find their first victory in V.League 2024-2025 in the upcoming match.
This is also the first match of The Cong Viettel at home. However, coach Nguyen Duc Thang and his team will move to My Dinh instead of Hang Day like previous seasons. This is also a big challenge for the army team.
Meanwhile, Hanoi FC will certainly not let their opponents have an easy game. Coach Le Duc Tuan's team will have a reasonable strategy to counter The Cong Viettel, at all costs winning 3 points to ensure a good ranking on the rankings.
