According to the match schedule, Nam Dinh Green Steel Club will host Hanoi in the make-up match of round 13 of V.League 2024-2025, taking place at 6:00 p.m. on February 5.
In fact, V.League has just entered the 12th round of matches. However, because the team from Thanh Nam is playing in AFC Champions League Two at the same time as round 12, the organizers arranged the make-up match to take place earlier.
Currently, Nam Dinh is ranked second in the table with 21 points after 12 rounds (1 match more than other teams) and is at risk of losing its position if it continues to fail to win this match. Coach Vu Hong Viet's team is facing difficulties due to the absence of key strikers Nguyen Xuan Son and Nguyen Van Toan.
They have gone through a series of 4 matches without knowing victory. In the National Cup, Nam Dinh lost to Binh Duong in the round of 16. In the V.League, Nguyen Manh and his teammates drew 1-1 with Thanh Hoa, lost 0-1 to The Cong Viettel and drew 0-0 with Binh Dinh.
To strengthen and increase the strength of the squad, the team from Thanh Nam immediately added two foreign players, striker Brenner and midfielder Romulo. Both are eligible to play in the next match.
On the other side, Hanoi FC also went through a difficult time. A series of bad matches before Tet forced coach Le Duc Tuan to leave the "hot seat". Technical director Hoang Van Phuc was appointed acting head coach until the team found a replacement.
Hanoi FC is expected to face many difficulties when missing 3 important players: Hai Long, Thanh Chung and Dinh Hai (cards). Therefore, the coaching staff needs to come up with suitable personnel plans to ensure strength in the away trip to Thien Truong.
The match between Nam Dinh and Hanoi will take place at 18:00 on February 5.
