Pre-match analysis:
Ahead of their match against Hai Phong on May 9th, Ninh Binh faced significant pressure following a series of disappointing performances. In their last two matches, the team from the ancient capital drew 1-1 with The Cong Viettel and lost 2-3 to Hanoi FC at home. Their lack of creativity in their play has raised questions, despite possessing many stars such as Hoang Duc, Geovane, and Van Lam.
In the first leg, Ninh Binh twice took the lead against Hai Phong but only managed a disappointing 2-2 draw at Lach Tray. Therefore, this rematch is an opportunity for them to settle the score and simultaneously chase the leading group.
Hai Phong is also in decline with three consecutive matches without a win. The team from the port city has just changed coaches, and they have almost no objectives left to achieve. This is an opportunity for Ninh Binh to secure all three points.
