Pre-match information
Nam Dinh Steel Club will visit Shan United (M Myanmar) in the 3rd match of the 2025-2026 Southeast Asian Cup C1. This is an opportunity for coach Mauro and his team to accumulate points when the opponent is not too strong.
At the moment, Nam Dinh has 3 points and is ranked second in Group C, but has played 1 match less than the other teams. Therefore, if they defeat Shan United, they can completely chase the top spot of Johor Darul Ta'zim (Malaysia).
Shan United is in good form in the Myanmar national championship, but in the Southeast Asian Cup C1, they have only played 1 match with a failed result. Therefore, the home team is determined to win 3 points when hosting Nam Dinh.
However, the Vietnamese representative is also very confident, because if compared to the quality of the squad and competition experience, Nam Dinh is considered to be superior. However, the team from Thanh Nam entered the match with a lot of pressure after a streak of 7 rounds of V.League without a win and 3 consecutive defeats in the AFC Champions League Two.
Therefore, this confrontation becomes an opportunity for Nam Dinh to regain their spirit, create momentum for the remaining journey of the season, and at the same time keep the hope of going deep in the Southeast Asian tournament after disappointing in the continental playground.
Mr. Mauro and his team's goal is still to win all 3 points, but to realize that ambition, they need to overcome both their opponents and the pressure weighing on them.
