Nam Dinh - the champion of the V.League in the last two seasons - is experiencing the worst streak of performance in the past few years. Since the beginning of the season, they have lost 4 matches, more than last season. The team from Thanh Nam is on a streak of 6 consecutive matches without a win, including 3 losses.
Despite the adjustments on the coaching bench, Nam Dinh has not had much improvement as expected.
With a heavily invested team and a strong squad, the current achievements are very disappointing for fans. After 10 rounds, they have only 9 points, 15 points behind the leader Ninh Binh. With the current situation, it will not be easy for Nam Dinh to compete for the championship with their opponents.
Hanoi FC is in better form. The Capital team got 14 points before round 11 started. Despite the large gap with the teams above, Hanoi FC still has a lot of hope to compete with their opponents.
Hanoi FC's biggest problem is that they have not really maintained stability under coach Harry Kewell. In his first 4 matches in charge, this strategist had 2 wins and 2 losses. Before defeating PVF-CAND 4-0 in the previous round, Hanoi FC lost at Hong Linh Ha Tinh.
Nam Dinh will rely heavily on home soil and head-to-head record to aim for victory against Hanoi FC. In the last 4 meetings, Nam Dinh defeated the capital team.
Coach Trung Kien's team still owns many individuals who are good at making breakthroughs such as Lam Ti Phong, Brenner, Romulo or Van Vi.
On the side of Hanoi FC, they will rely heavily on the creativity of conductor Do Hoang Hen, who has scored 3 goals in the last 4 matches. Do Hoang Hen was a star in Nam Dinh's squad before, so he is no stranger to his former team.
Both Nam Dinh and Hanoi FC have a lot of motivation to aim for victory. Whichever team gets 3 points in this match will be motivated to continue the championship race.
The match between Nam Dinh and Hanoi FC will take place at 6:00 p.m. on November 10.
Expected lineup:
Nam Dinh: Nguyen Manh, Lucas Alves, Van Toi, Van Kien, Dinh Son, Van Vi, Van Dat, Van Vu, Lam Ti Phong, Romulo, Brenner.
Hanoi: Van Chuan, Xuan Manh, Thanh Chung, Van Toan, Cong Nhat, Duy Manh, Luiz Fernando, Hoang Hen, Hung Dung, Van Quyet, Daniel Passira.
Score prediction: Nam Dinh 2-1 Hanoi FC.
