In the first leg of the final at Hang Day Stadium, the two teams drew 2-2. It was a somewhat regrettable result for CAHN as they were the team that created many opportunities. However, the championship chance of coach Polking and his team is still intact in the rematch against the Thai representative.

Buriram United have an effective attack with Bissoli, Lucas and Peter Zulj, especially the very cunning midfielder Theerathon. If not for the injury problem, this player will certainly cause more difficulties for CAHN.

In addition to possessing a strong and dense squad, Buriam also has a huge advantage when playing at home. Theerathon confidently said that he and his teammates will win to give a gift to the fans.

In terms of playing style, Buriram showed danger from set pieces, the ability to escape pressing and quickly change state. In the second half of the first leg of the final, the Thai-League representative showed their strengths, forcing CAHN to accept a draw right at home.

On CAHN's side, Coach Polking said that he and his players learned many lessons from the match at Hang Day. Especially before the rematch, Quang Hai and his teammates received "tips" and encouragement from former Coach Kiatisuk.

But CAHN certainly has to solve its own problems: overcome the away pressure, block Buriram's attacks, and at the same time have plans to play defensive counter-attacks, even playing an open game at the right time.

Before the match, CAHN received very good news when Nguyen Filip and Van Thanh agreed to extend their contracts. Previously, there were many rumors that this pair of players would leave the team at the end of this season. The fact that Nguyen Filip and Van Thanh continue to stay with CAHN creates a good mentality for the team. They are both important pillars of the defense.

In terms of history, Buriram has never won against CAHN. In this tournament, they lost 1-2 in the group stage and drew 2-2 in the first leg of the final. However, that does not mean that the Thai team is considered to have a lower chance of winning the championship.

However, Buriram cannot easily do what they want. CAHN is a team with good organization and sharp counter-attacking ability.

Winning the championship cup, CAHN not only won the club level, but Vietnamese football once again made Thailand accept defeat, after 2 convincing defeats in the ASEAN Cup final against the Vietnamese team.
