After the first two matches of AFC Champions League Two 2025/26, Nam Dinh Blue Steel won against Ratchaburi (Thailand) and Eastern FC (Hong Kong-China). This good result helps coach Vu Hong Viet and his team gain more confidence when playing away at Gamba Osaka (Japan).

"This is an important match because both we and our opponents are competing for the top spot in the table after having won two previous matches," coach Vu Hong Viet affirmed.

The captain of Nam Dinh Steel Blue said that he and his students carefully studied Gamba Osaka: "I am very impressed with Gamba Osaka's midfield. They have two extremely high-quality central midfielders. In addition, the attack line has a domestic striker wearing the number 7 shirt, which is also very dangerous. Those are the names that we need to pay attention to in this match."

Meanwhile, foreign player Lucas Alves commented on the match: "The teams from J-League are all very strong, Gamba Osaka is no exception. We have some experience facing Japanese representatives when we faced Hiroshima last season. It won't be easy, but Nam Dinh Blue Steel will play their best in tomorrow's match."

The match between Nam Dinh Blue Steel and Gamba Osaka will kick off at 5:00 p.m. on October 22.
