Pre-match comments Hoang Anh Gia Lai vs Song Lam Nghe An

Both HAGL and SLNA are having a hard time at the moment. HAGL is still at the second to last position in the rankings with only 2 points after 2 draws in a weak position. SLNA is a little better but has to struggle to get 4 points. The only positive point that Nghe An club has is the unbelievable victory against Nam Dinh . Otherwise, they still make fans "ride the roller coaster" with heart-stopping results.

Right after the extraordinary victory over Nam Dinh, SLNA lost easily to Hai Phong 0-2. Then, they disappointed when they drew with an advantage against Ha Tinh and then hopes were rekindled when this club led Ho Chi Minh City Police 2-0. However, SLNA's young stars could not keep their cool and were defeated by their opponents with a comeback win of 3-2.

The problems of the two teams come from two different causes. HAGL mainly relies on their defense. They always advocate “concrete” their home field to minimize the opponent’s attacks. This club almost does not know how to score.

Meanwhile, SLNA pursues a style of dedication. That is the reason why SLNA matches have many goals, they score a lot but also concede a lot, making the efforts of the strikers go down the drain.

Form, head-to-head history Hoang Anh Gia Lai vs Song Lam Nghe An

HAGL have lost 2 of their 4 matches this season. Although they still have 2 matches left to play, things are not looking good for HAGL. In all the past matches, the club has been playing defensively and defensively. They cannot attack. In many clear situations, they do not know how to coordinate to score.

A beautiful HAGL in the days of Cong Phuong, Van Toan or Tuan Anh has now been replaced by a rough and rugged HAGL. They do not know how to play offensively, or maybe this club does not want to when HAGL's number 1 priority is always to keep a clean sheet.

In fact, HAGL's current situation can hardly help them dream big. Saying goodbye to Van Son, Ngoc Quang... makes HAGL lose the last excellent factors in the squad. So now, apart from Trung Kien, HAGL no longer has any outstanding domestic factors. Young players like Vinh Nguyen and Dinh Lam are still too immature compared to the level of LPBank V.League 1 while apart from Jairo, HAGL's two foreign players cannot be a support for their teammates. Today, they will have to try very hard to score the first goal and find the first victory of this season.

Expected lineup Hoang Anh Gia Lai vs Song Lam Nghe An

HAGL: Trung Kien, Quang Kiet, Jairo, Du Hoc, Van Trieu, Thanh Nhan, Minh Tam, Silva Marciel, Dinh Lam, Vinh Nguyen, Ryan Ha.

SLNA: Van Binh, Van Huy, Nam Hai, Van Khanh, Van Cuong, Van Luong, Quang Vinh, Khac Ngoc, Carlos Enrique, Ba Quyen, Olaha.
