Lineups to start
Pre-match information
Hanoi FC has just ended a series of positive forms after losing to The Cong Viettel in the previous round, thereby stalling in the race in the leading group. However, coach Harry Kewell's team still has the goal of competing for a position in the top 3, especially when Becamex TPHCM temporarily rises to the top of the rankings. Therefore, Van Quyet and his teammates need a positive result to improve their ranking.
On the other side, Hanoi Police are showing very high form with a 7-match winning streak in the V.League. Coach Mano Polking's team possesses many outstanding attacking players such as Alan, Leo Artur, Quang Hai or Dinh Bac. In addition, the return of defender Doan Van Hau helps the defense of the Police sector team become more solid.
Early stopping in the AFC Champions League Two and National Cup also helps Hanoi Police focus all their attention on the V.League arena. In the context that Ninh Binh was just held to a draw by Da Nang, if they win at Hang Day Stadium, Quang Hai and his teammates will have the opportunity to widen the gap with the chasing group in the championship race.
