Pre-match comments Ho Chi Minh City Police vs Hai Phong

Ho Chi Minh City Police just suffered a 0-1 defeat against the same team Hanoi Police in round 8. This was a rather disappointing result as they had an early advantage in playing with one more player when Le Van Do of Hanoi Police received a red card and left the field in the middle of the first half. However, coach Le Huynh Duc's team still let their opponent win 1-0.

After 8 rounds, Ho Chi Minh City Police have 14 points, ranking 5th on the table and equal in points with Hai Phong. This is an acceptable start for Nguyen Tien Linh and his teammates.

They have a good defense system when they only conceded 8 goals after 8 rounds. However, the attack of Ho Chi Minh City Police lacks sharpness when they only scored 9 goals. This number is much lower than Hai Phong, the team has scored 16 goals up to now.

Under the guidance of coach Chu Dinh Nghiem, Hai Phong plays balanced and has quite stable performance this season. The 4th position, just behind the "big guys" with rich financial potential is the clearest proof.

The confrontation between the two sides therefore promises to be tense and full of surprises. Whoever can maintain their concentration and motivation will be able to leave the field with 3 points in hand.

Form, head-to-head record and strength

In the last 5 matches, Ho Chi Minh City Police won 2, drew 2 and lost 1. Hai Phong also had a similar record with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. In the five matches between the two sides, the port city team had the advantage with 4 wins, 1 draw and no losses.

The above parameters allow Hai Phong to be confident against their opponents in the match at Thong Nhat Stadium.

In terms of force, Hai Phong suffered a loss when midfielder Huu Son was absent due to injury. Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City Police had almost all of their strongest force, except for the absence of Endrick also due to injury.
