HAGL will not have an easy match.
HAGL has opened its V-League scoring account this season, but the current situation still worries fans of the team from the mountainous region. After five goalless rounds, Minh Tâm's only goal in the 1-1 draw against SLNA in round 6 was a small ray of light amidst a otherwise bleak picture. The departure of several key players such as Trần Minh Vương and Châu Ngọc Quang before the new season has left HAGL almost devoid of creativity and experience. At this point, HAGL only has young, enthusiastic players who lack the maturity to maintain the pace of the game and make a difference.

The midfield of the mountain town team now focuses more on recovering the ball and making safe passes, rather than initiating attacks. The attack is constantly starved of possession and isolated from the rest of the team. Striker Gabriel Dos Santos often plays alone, lacking connection and almost harmless in the penalty area, so he remains without a trophy after 6 rounds. Marciel Da Silva, who usually shone last season, is now also silent because opponents have figured out his tactics. With both foreign players underperforming, HAGL has to rely on domestic players like Hoang Vinh Nguyen, Vo Dinh Lam, Tran Gia Bao… but they still lack the strength to help the team play more dynamically.
On the other side of the pitch, Hai Phong FC, under coach Chu Dinh Nghiem, has maintained its fiery fighting spirit, direct and effective style of play. While lacking many superstars, Hai Phong is very balanced and energetic. The foreign duo of Bicou and Luiz Antonio are a highlight, with one driving the attack and the other controlling the tempo and unleashing powerful shots. At Lach Tray Stadium, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's team remains undefeated since the beginning of the season. HAGL is unlikely to spring a surprise against the home team Hai Phong at 6 PM today.
THANH HOA PROVINCE SEEKS VICTORY
Like HAGL, Thanh Hoa FC also faces many challenges right from the start of the season. The team from Thanh Hoa is currently at the bottom of the table and has yet to win a single match. The biggest problem for Thanh Hoa FC right now is psychological after the club president was arrested for economic crimes. The match against newly promoted PVF-CAND in round 7 (at 6 PM today) is seen as a good opportunity for Thanh Hoa to overcome this obstacle. Theoretically, Thanh Hoa FC is considered more experienced than PVF-CAND. A victory would help the team regain confidence and lay the groundwork for them to get back on track in the coming period. Conversely, they will sink deeper into a spiral of crisis.
In the matches taking place on the same day, Ho Chi Minh City Police Club will face Ha Tinh at 7:15 PM. The latest match of round 7 is the clash between The Cong Viettel and Da Nang Club, at 7:15 PM on October 20th.
