Hanoi vs. Ho Chi Minh City Prediction, 7:15 p.m. May 18: Holding on to a faint hope

Prediction before the match Hanoi vs Ho Chi Minh City

Daniel Passira's goal in the 90+10 minute helped Hanoi beat SLNA 2-1 in round 22. Coach Teguramori Makoto and his team played with a never-give-up spirit and were rewarded with 3 full points, but Nam Dinh also won in the previous round, so Hanoi could not shorten the gap by 5 points.

To overthrow Nam Dinh, Hanoi has no choice but to win the remaining 6 matches and wait for the opponent to lose at least 2 matches. This is not an impossible scenario for Hanoi. The capital team still has a chance, they have to fight and first defeat a weak opponent like Ho Chi Minh City.

In contrast to Hanoi's performance, Ho Chi Minh City is ranked 10th with 25 points. Coach Phung Thanh Phuong and his team are only 5 points ahead of SHB Da Nang. This means that Ho Chi Minh City still has the possibility of falling into the relegation play-off position if they do not play well in the remaining matches.

Hanoi has home field advantage, better form and more motivation when facing Ho Chi Minh City. Hanoi's force is clearly superior to its opponent despite not being in good form. Coach Makoto and his team must beat Ho Chi Minh City to make up for the humiliating 0-3 loss to Nam Dinh in round 21.

Passira's goal helped Hanoi overcome SLNA.

Form, head-to-head record Hanoi vs Ho Chi Minh City

After losing 0-3 to Nam Dinh, Hanoi players still played with "leaden" legs against SLNA. They needed Passira's moment of brilliance in the last minute of extra time to score. As the season comes to an end, Hanoi's squad has too many problems. Hanoi's foreign players are not playing well. The capital team's domestic pillars such as Tuan Hai, Van Quyet, Hung Dung are also not in good form.

Ho Chi Minh City's performance is not better than Hanoi's. In the last 7 matches, coach Phung Thanh Phuong and his team have only won one. In the most recent match in V.League, Ho Chi Minh City lost 0-2 to Hai Phong at home.

Ho Chi Minh City has a basis to hope for a good result against Hanoi, which is that they have a good away record. In the last three away matches, Ho Chi Minh City won against Thanh Hoa, drew with CAHN and drew with Nam Dinh.
