Nam Dinh Green Steel is having a poor season in the LPBank V-League 2025/26. The team from Nam Dinh has just gone through a streak of 4 consecutive matches without a win, including 3 defeats. However, in the AFC Champions League Two 2025/26, coach Vu Hong Viet's team has had an impressive performance with 2 victories against Ratchaburi (Thailand) and Eastern FC (Hong Kong-China).
The match between Nam Dinh Green Steel and Gamba Osaka is of great importance to both teams. The winning team will have a strong chance of advancing in the continental cup competition.
"This is an important match because both we and our opponents are competing for the top spot in the standings, having both secured two wins previously," emphasized Nam Dinh Steel Green coach Vu Hong Viet .
The defending V-League champions' opponents are one of Japan's top clubs, having won the J-League twice. However, since their relegation in the 2012 season, the team has not been the same.
Ahead of their clash with Nam Dinh Steel in the third matchday of Group F, Gamba Osaka disappointed with a heavy 0-5 defeat away to Kashiwa Reysol in the J-League. This result not only caused Gamba Osaka to drop to 9th place in the standings, but also affected the morale of the Japanese representative as they compete in the Asian arena.
Nevertheless, Japanese football is still at a much higher level than Vietnamese football. Gamba Osaka has many quality players such as Takashi Usami – a former Japanese international who played for Bayern Munich, striker Issam Jebali – a Tunisian international, and center-back Genta Miura.
On the part of Nam Dinh Green Steel, it would be no surprise if coach Vu Hong Viet fielded an all-foreign team. This is the basis for the Vietnamese representative to be completely confident of a victory even on the away ground.
The match between Nam Dinh Green Steel and Gamba Osaka will kick off at 5 PM on October 22nd.
