Ahead of the match between Hong Linh Ha Tinh and host team Nam Dinh (taking place on the afternoon of May 31st), the club's leadership has offered a reward of 1 billion VND for each win. With their morale high after their comeback victory against Ho Chi Minh City, the Hong Linh players are very confident of achieving another win.

In Round 10 of V.League 1-2023, Hong Linh Ha Tinh (HLHT) faces a challenging away match against Nam Dinh. The game promises to be very dramatic as both teams are currently in the top half of the league table.
This season, Nam Dinh FC has made significant investments in quality players such as goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh, defenders Nguyen Phong Hong Duy and Hoang Van Khanh, and foreign player Hendrio. This star-studded squad has helped Nam Dinh perform better, climbing to the top of the league table, instead of struggling at the bottom like in previous seasons.
However, in the last three rounds, Nam Dinh has shown signs of slowing down. The team from Nam Dinh is currently on a streak of three consecutive matches without a win (1 loss, 2 draws). It seems that coach Vu Hong Viet has yet to find a consistent playing style for the team.
In their two meetings last season, each side secured one victory.
Furthermore, foreign players are also considered a major headache for Nam Dinh. Except for Hendrio, who has demonstrated his class and value, the foreign striker duo of Nnamani and Vinicius have failed to meet expectations. This could also be considered a contributing factor to Nam Dinh's recent decline.
The performance of Nguyen Manh and his teammates has clearly not satisfied the fans, and the team is facing a certain amount of pressure.

Returning to their home ground to host HLHT, Nam Dinh's team is aiming for three points to secure a place in the top four of the tournament. However, at this point, the visiting team has shown they are not an easy opponent to beat.
HLHT arrives at Thien Truong Stadium after a dramatic comeback victory against Ho Chi Minh City FC. The team from Hong Mountain is currently ranked 6th with 13 points after 9 rounds, one point behind Nam Dinh. HLHT's recent form is quite good, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 5 matches. Compared to the home team, the visitors are clearly in superior form.
HLHT is in impressive form, having won 2, drawn 2 and lost only 1 of their last 5 matches.
While Nam Dinh's foreign players are disappointing, HLHT, on the other hand, possesses a pair of strikers in excellent form. With Diallo and Pinto leading the attack, the team from Hong Mountain shows its danger whenever it switches from defense to quick counter-attacks. In addition, the young players such as Trung Hoc, Van Cong, Viet Trieu, Bui Van Duc, and Ngoc Thang are playing with increasing maturity and composure with each match.
Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team also often performs very well against strong opponents away from home. This season, HLHT has only lost one match, when playing away against Thanh Hoa FC - currently leading the league.
With their spirits high, HLHT is ready to overcome the challenge at Thien Truong Stadium.
The head-to-head record also favors the Hong Mountain team; in the last 5 encounters, HLHT won 3 and lost 2. Ahead of this match, the HLHT club management offered a reward of 1 billion VND for each win.
This is seen as a great morale boost for the Hong Mountain team before their challenging away match at Thien Truong Stadium. With their impressive form, fans expect Dinh Thanh Trung and his teammates to come away with a victory.
