SLNA had a dramatic semi-final match when they defeated Binh Duong 3-2 at home. In this match, the Nghe An team was not highly appreciated by their opponents. However, they played with a relaxed mentality, determination and made the most of the opponent's mistakes.
Meanwhile, Hanoi Police defeated The Cong Viettel 3-1. In this match, the stars of the police team played reasonably, with high determination and won completely deservedly.
After winning the Southeast Asian Cup C1 runner-up position and finishing third in V.League 2024-2025, Hanoi Police really wants to end the season with a title. The National Cup is the destination of coach Alexandre Polking and his team.
In history, the Hanoi Police team has not won the National Cup. They have a great opportunity to add another title to their achievement table. With a squad of star players such as Nguyen Filip, Quang Hai, Alan, Leo Artur... Hanoi Police is rated much higher than SLNA.
However, it will not be easy for the capital team to defeat their opponent. In the V.League last season, although the performance between the two teams was very different, in both meetings, Hanoi Police drew SLNA with a score of 1-1.
Expanding in the last 5 meetings, Hanoi Police won 3 matches and drew 2 matches. In terms of current form, coach Polking's team is rated higher. In the last 5 matches, they have won all.
For SLNA, Vinh Stadium and their fiery competitive spirit are their biggest advantage. At their home stadium, coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team defeated Da Nang, Dong Thap and Binh Duong to enter the final.
If they overcome Hanoi Police, the Nghe An team will have a complete journey. Historically, Song Lam Nghe An has won the National Cup 3 times in 2002, 2010 and 2017.
The SLNA vs Hanoi Police match will take place at 6:00 p.m. on June 29.
Expected lineup:
SLNA: Van Viet, Van Huy, Van Cuong, Van Khanh, Eduardo, Manh Quynh, Kuku, Quang Vinh, Ba Quyen, Khac Ngoc, Olaha,
