With legendary Harry Kewell and domestic player Do Hoang Hen, will Hanoi stop rookie Ninh Binh?

Hanoi FC will have to prove their class in the match against newcomer Ninh Binh in round 7 of V-League taking place at 7:15 p.m. tomorrow (October 18).

Hanoi is not allowed to lose.

When V-League returns, it is also the time when Hanoi FC receives good news. Player Hendrio Araujo (Brazil) was granted Vietnamese citizenship with the name Do Hoang Hen yesterday (October 16). Thus, Mr. Hien's team will be able to use Do Hoang Hen as a domestic player in V-League. This will help them play with "4 foreigners" on the field at the same time.

After a disappointing start, Hanoi FC had two important victories against Thanh Hoa and Da Nang to rise to 6th place on the rankings. New coach Harry Kewell arrived in time to help Hanoi FC rise strongly to take the top position. Therefore, the match against Ninh Binh FC is considered a turning point that Mr. Hien's team must overcome to prove their class.

Ninh Binh Club is in very good form with an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 2 draws to lead the table with 14 points. However, the strength and surprise of this team seem to have been deciphered when in the last 2 matches they were held to a draw by Hai Phong and The Cong Viettel .

If Hanoi FC with Hung Dung, Van Quyet, Duy Manh, Thanh Chung, Da Silva, Luis Fernando... play well, blocking the influence of Hoang Duc on Ninh Binh's side, the home team Hang Day Stadium will have a chance to win. This is a match that Hanoi cannot afford to lose, so coach Harry Kewell's team will definitely have to put all their efforts into taking all 3 points.

Nam Dinh Club seizes opportunity to rise

The reigning champions Nam Dinh are far behind in the rankings at 8th place with 7 points. This position does not satisfy the fans of Thanh Nam, so coach Vu Hong Viet must bring his team back to victory.

Hosting Becamex TP.HCM Club at Thien Truong Stadium at 6 p.m. on October 18 is the best opportunity for Nam Dinh Club to get points. Even though Becamex TP.HCM brought veteran coach Dang Tran Chinh to lead the team, at this time, the away team's strength is not good, so it is difficult to stand firm in the fire of Thien Truong. If Hong Duy, Van Vi, Van Dat, Lam Ti Phong, Van Vu, Oliveira... play at their best, Nam Dinh Club will have 3 points to improve their ranking.

Also in the group above, Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) is second in the table with 13 points and will visit SLNA at 6:00 p.m. on October 18. SLNA is not strong this season, with an inexperienced squad, so even with home field advantage, it will be difficult for them to stand firm against the destructive power of Alan Sebastiao and Leonardo on the CAHN side. These are the two players leading the top scorer tournament with one person scoring 6 goals and the other 4 goals. Winning this match, CAHN Club is likely to take the top spot.

On October 19, the match between Hai Phong FC and HAGL at 6 p.m. at Lach Tray Stadium attracted the attention of fans. HAGL has not known a win with 3 draws and 2 losses and will have to try hard to find points. However, Hai Phong is in good form so this may not be a smooth away trip for the mountain town team.

At Thong Nhat Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City Police Club also has a chance to win against Hong Linh Ha Tinh in the match at 7:15 p.m. on October 19, because coach Le Huynh Duc is on the right track with his team.

Remaining matches: PVF-CAND vs Thanh Hoa (6:00 p.m. October 19); The Cong Viettel vs SHB Da Nang (7:15 p.m. October 20).
