Football prediction Hong Linh Ha Tinh vs Ninh Binh, 18:00 August 17: Can Hoang Duc carry the new player?

Prediction before the match Ha Tinh vs Ninh Binh

Hong Linh Ha Tinh was one of the teams that played impressively last season, making many "big guys" struggle to share points and finishing in 5th place. However, at the end of the season, they said goodbye to coach Nguyen Thanh Cong and midfielder Luong Xuan Truong along with a number of other players.

This change is expected to cause a lot of turmoil for Ha Tinh, although they also received quality new players, notably two quality foreign players Yevgeniy Serdyuk (Ukraine), the third most expensive striker in the V-League (800,000 euros) and Charles Atshimene (Nigeria), who scored 11 goals for Quang Nam last season.

On the other hand, Phu Dong Ninh Binh promises to bring a new wind to the race in V-League. The team of the ancient capital Hoa Lu won the Vietnam national team midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc from The Cong Viettel , recruited many other players, thereby winning the First Division championship to be promoted to V-League.

Ninh Binh also owns many other experienced players such as Dung Quang Nho, Chau Ngoc Quang, Dang Van Lam and 3 foreign players Gustavo Henrique (Brazil), Alfredo Pedraza (Spain) and Victor Morales (Spain).

The confrontation between the two teams this afternoon is expected to be full of surprises and unpredictability. Ninh Binh is full of new spirit but Ha Tinh is "stubborn" and experienced.

Strength, form and head-to-head record

Ninh Binh is in stable form having just won the First Division. They will have their strongest squad, including midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc who is happily returning to the highest level of play. Goalkeeper Dang Van Lam is expected to start. Similarly, Ha Tinh also has enough players for the opening match.

In the last 5 matches, Ha Tinh lost 3 and drew 2, but these were the last matches of the season when they lost motivation to compete. Playing at home is also an advantage for coach Nguyen Cong Manh's team.

Score prediction: 1-1
