Nam Dinh and Hanoi Police football match schedule at AFC Champions League Two

Nam Dinh Club is going through a difficult period despite a change in the coaching bench. Many key players have injuries, the performance of foreign and domestic players has declined, causing the team from Thanh Nam to fall into crisis.

After the defeat to Gamba Osaka in the first leg of the AFC Champions League Two, Nam Dinh only had 2 more draws against Da Nang and Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the V.League, both of which were behind. A series of 6 matches without a win caused Nguyen Manh and his teammates to fall behind in the championship race.

Nam Dinh had difficulty in both attack and defense. Although there are many foreign players, the results have not yet met expectations. Brenner, Romulo and Hudlin are still playing poorly, while their defense lacks solidity, causing the team to continuously lose points in key matches.

Ahead of the match against Gamba Osaka, Nam Dinh need at least one point to maintain the advantage in the competition with Ratchaburi for second place in Group F. If they lose, they risk being leveled and facing great pressure in the return match away.

Meanwhile, Hanoi Police will visit Macarthur FC (Australia) in Sydney. In the first leg, the two teams drew 1-1, causing the Vietnamese representative to miss the opportunity to create a score gap.

This rematch is predicted to be difficult for coach Mano Polking and his team as Macarthur FC is in stable form with a series of 3 unbeaten matches at home. The Police team also faced physical challenges after a nearly 9-hour journey from Vietnam to Australia.

Currently, Hanoi Police are temporarily leading Group E with 5 points after 3 matches, only 1 point ahead of Taipo (Hong Kong, China). The tight gap forced Quang Hai and his teammates to set a goal of getting points, even a victory to maintain the advantage before the last 2 matches.

This is considered an important test for the Vietnamese representative if they want to go deep in the continental arena.
