Quy Nhon Binh Dinh team created a surprise last season when they won the runner-up position. However, entering this season, they encountered many difficulties when some key players left.
After 4 rounds, Binh Dinh only had 1 win at The Cong Viettel. They lost 3 matches against Hanoi FC, Ho Chi Minh City and Thanh Hoa. In the recent National Cup qualifying round, the team from the land of martial arts also lost at home to Binh Duong with a score of 2-3.
However, in the match against Binh Duong, Binh Dinh team used many young and reserve players. Coach Bui Doan Quang Huy clearly understands that with the current squad, it will be difficult for him to concentrate on many fronts. The team's focus will be on V.League, where they will most likely use their strongest lineup to play against Song Lam Nghe An.
At the moment, Song Lam Nghe An is at the bottom of the table with 2 points from 2 draws against Da Nang and Ha Tinh. Difficulties continue to surround the Nghe An team as their squad does not have many stars, many talented players but cannot take on great responsibilities, in the context of increasing competition in the V.League.
However, the head-to-head record is in favor of the Nghe An team. In the last two meetings in V.League 2023-2024, Song Lam Nghe An won Binh Dinh with scores of 2-1 and 2-0 respectively. This will help the away team confidently aim to score points at Quy Nhon Stadium.
Expected lineup of 2 teams:
Binh Dinh: Tuan Linh, Van Khoa, Xuan Hung, Ngoc Tin, Xuan Toan, Xuan Quyet, Thanh Truong, Trong Hieu, Alisson Farias, Xuan Cuong, Leonardo,
Song Lam Nghe An: Van Viet, Zaracho, Van Huy, Van Thanh, Thanh Duc, Xuan Tien, Nam Hai, Olaha, Quang Tu, Quang Vinh, Kuku.
Score prediction: Binh Dinh 2-0 Song Lam Nghe An.
