According to the match schedule, Thanh Hoa club will host Nam Dinh in the make-up match of round 12 of V.League 2024-2025, taking place at 6:00 p.m. on January 14.
In fact, V.League is just about to enter the 11th round. However, because the two teams will compete in the Southeast Asian Cup 1 and the Asian Cup 1 at the same time as round 12 (early February), the organizers arranged the make-up match to take place earlier.
Currently, Thanh Hoa and Nam Dinh are sharing the top two positions in the rankings. Coach Popov's team leads with 20 points, while the team from Thanh Nam is only 1 point behind. Therefore, the results of the upcoming match will affect the order of the teams.
In terms of personnel, Nam Dinh does not have the strongest squad as two key strikers Nguyen Xuan Son and Nguyen Van Toan are absent due to injuries at the ASEAN Cup. Coach Vu Hong Viet is facing a personnel problem as he has not found a replacement.
The proof is that Nam Dinh just stopped at the round of 16 of the National Cup after losing to Binh Duong. They could not maintain their scoring efficiency and lost to their opponent in the unlucky penalty shootout.
Meanwhile, Thanh Hoa is likely to be without the services of central defender Gustavo due to a relapse of his injury. However, Mr. Popov still has in his hands the pillars such as Doan Ngoc Tan, A Mit, Viet Tu, Thai Son, Ribamar...
The match between Thanh Hoa and Nam Dinh in round 12 of V.League takes place at 18:00 on January 14.
