Therefore, this match is no different from the battle of Southeast Asian stars. In particular, the attraction of the final match also comes from the desire of both sides to become the first champion in the history of the Southeast Asian C1 Cup.

CAHN Club currently possesses a very powerful weapon that even Buriram United must be wary of, that is coach Mano Polking. The coach with dual German and Brazilian nationality is a familiar face in Thai football.

Mr. Polking once led the Golden Temple team to win the AFF Cup 2020 and 2022. In addition, before that, from 2012 to 2020, Coach Mano Polking continuously worked in Thailand, as the coach of the country's U23 team (2012), coach of Army United Club (2013), Suphaburi FC (2014) and Bangkok United (2014 - 2020).

With his knowledge of Thai football and Thai players playing for Buriram United such as Theerathon Bunmathan, Pansa Hemviboon, Supachai Chaided, Sasalak Haiprakhon, Suphanat Mueanta, Coach Mano Polking will have a way to counter them, helping CAHN Club win the first leg of the final.

Expected lineup:

Hanoi Police Club: Nguyen Filip, Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Tran Dinh Trong, Cao Pendant Quang Vinh, Hoang Van Toan, Le Pham Thanh Long, Nguyen Quang Hai, Le Van Do, Phan Van Duc, Leo Artur, Thaileon.

Buriram United: Neil Etheridge, Sasalak Haiprakhon, Dion Cools, Pansa Hemviboon, Ko Myeong Seok, Jefferson Tabinas, Kenny Dougall, Goran Causic, Phitiwat Sukjitthammakul, Theerathon Bunmathan, Supachai Chaided.

Prediction: CAHN win 2-1.
