Hong Linh Ha Tinh is becoming one of the most interesting and worth-watching teams in the V.League.
They are currently 4th in the rankings and have a chance to enter the Top 3 at the end of the season. Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team is unbeaten in the last 6 matches. In the last 2 away matches against Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Ho Chi Minh City, they both won 1-0.
Ha Tinh does not have many outstanding individuals, but under the leadership of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong, they are a very solid, disciplined team that knows us well.
Their attack line did not play too explosively, having only scored 19 goals. But in return, they have a solid defense, having only conceded 13 goals, the least in the league. Ha Tinh is also the team that has lost the least since the beginning of the tournament, with only 1 match against Hai Phong in round 14.
In contrast to the home team, Binh Duong is in decline. They were once considered a candidate for the championship, but at this time the chance for them to win the highest position is almost gone. The team from the land of Thu is 14 points behind Nam Dinh and it is very difficult to do miracles.
Binh Duong has not won in the last 5 matches, including 4 losses. The resignation of coach Nguyen Cong Manh and then changing his mind to continue working has not helped the team much.
Binh Duong team attacked at a dead end, scoring only 1 goal in the last 5 matches. Striker Tien Linh did not receive much support from his teammates. The defense of the team from the land of Thu often makes mistakes, conceding 6 goals in the last 2 matches
With such contrasting form, Binh Duong needs to focus highly to hope to get a point off the field of Ha Tinh. The head-to-head record is also in favor of the home team, as they have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 in their last 5 meetings. In the first leg at Go Dau Stadium, Ha Tinh equalized 2-2 after falling behind 0-2.
Binh Duong will have to be very careful with Ha Tinh's midfielder Viktor Le. This overseas Vietnamese player is in good form, scoring 1 goal and having 3 assists in the last 3 matches. The home team will certainly play very determined because if they have 3 points, their chance to enter the Top 3 at the end of the season will become even more obvious.
Expected lineup:
Ha Tinh: Thanh Tung, Sy Hoang, Helerson, Adou Leygley Minh, Trong Hoang, Duy Thuong, Van Tram, Dinh Tien, Tien Dat, Mbo, Viktor Le.
Binh Duong: Minh Toan, Janclesio, Ngoc Hai, Trung Hieu, Minh Trong, Tung Quoc, Thanh Kien, Odiljon, Timite, Minh Khoa, Tien Linh.
Score prediction: Ha Tinh 2-0 Binh Duong.
