HAGL vs Becamex TPHCM Prediction, 5:00 p.m. August 17: People in the same situation

TPO - HAGL vs Becamex TPHCM Prediction, 5:00 p.m. August 17 at LPBank V.League 1-2025/26 - Information on the team, expected lineup, match score prediction. With too many changes in the teams of both sides, they are certainly facing many doubts before entering the 2025/26 campaign.

Prediction before the match HAGL vs Becamex HCMC

This is definitely a very interesting match between two teams in the same situation. Last summer, HAGL and Becamex HCMC were probably the two teams with the most changes in the tournament. HAGL said goodbye to a generation of players who had been with the team for many years such as Minh Vuong, Ngoc Quang, Quang Nho... Even the young and emerging center back Ly Duc was pushed to Hanoi Police.

The team under Vu Tien Thanh's control at the moment is mostly young players. With limited experience and skills that need to be honed, HAGL will clearly face countless challenges ahead. Fortunately, they still have foreign players to support the team such as Marciel and Jairo. The team only replaced 1 foreign player last summer.

Meanwhile, on the Becamex HCM side, this team not only changed its name but also “changed the blood” of the squad. All foreign players were pushed out after a season that did not meet expectations. Some older domestic players also left this team, such as Ngoc Hai, Hai Huy…

But the position that leaves the most regrets is certainly Tien Linh. The best domestic striker in the national championship, the player who has been a symbol of Binh Duong for many years, has now moved to the Ho Chi Minh City Police Club. It can be said that the team from Thu Dau Mot has almost rebuilt a squad and young players like Minh Khoa, Vi Hao or Minh Trong will have to take on the responsibility of the team in the near future.

The HAGL and Becamex HCMC teams will be very different this reunion.

Form, head-to-head record HAGL vs Becamex TPHCM

HAGL and Becamex HCMC are in dire need of good performances to boost their teams. But before entering the first round, both teams have brought worries due to their poor form.

HAGL went to Thailand for training. They had poor results with no wins in 5 friendly matches in the land of golden temples. HAGL's performance gradually declined. Initially, they drew with quite strong names in the Thai League, but then against 3 lower-ranked teams, HAGL lost all 3. They even lost to the Bangkok University team in the Thai 3rd division.

On the other side of the front line, Becamex HCMC is playing and assembling its squad. It was not until close to the opening time that this club recruited foreign players and it is certain that in the first round, the new players will have difficulty integrating into the new team's playing style.

The visitors, as well as the hosts, are really in a “walking and exploring” situation. The first match will help them and the fans to define the playing style and identity of HAGL and Becamex HCMC. But there is one thing that does not support the visitors, which is that Becamex HCMC, formerly known as Becamex Binh Duong, has no luck in Pleiku. In the last 7 trips to this place, they have not won any match. This afternoon, the scenario probably will not change.

Expected lineup HAGL vs Becamex HCMC

HAGL: Trung Kien, Van Trieu, Jairo, Anh Tai, Thanh Son, Hoang Minh, Du Hoc, Vinh Nguyen, Marciel, Ha Ryan, Conceicao.

Becamex HCMC: Minh Toan, Tung Quoc, Dinh Khuong, Zlatkovic, Minh Trong, Ferreira Hugo, Minh Khoa, Trung Hieu, Thanh Hau, Viet Cuong, Jose Carios.

Score prediction: HAGL 1-1 Becamex HCMC
