Nam Dinh vs Thanh Hoa Prediction: Closer to the championship

In the LPBank V-League sprint stage, Nam Dinh Blue Steel had an extremely important victory against championship competitor Hanoi FC in round 21. However, the capital team shortened the gap to 2 points after a super dramatic 2-1 victory over SLNA on the evening of May 10 in round 22. With this result, Hanoi FC continues to hope for a "comeback" in the final rounds.

Only 2 points ahead of Hanoi FC , Nam Dinh Steel Blue must win against Thanh Hoa in this round or else anything can happen. Coach Vu Hong Viet's team will do everything to win 3 points at Thien Truong.

In addition to the home field advantage, Nam Dinh Green Steel is very excited after the victory over Hanoi FC in the previous round. In terms of strength, the team from the South is also rated higher than its opponent Thanh Hoa.

To give the players more strength, the organizers of Thien Truong Stadium decided to open the stadium to the public for this match. The cheers of the fans helped coach Vu Hong Viet and his team have a great match at home.

While Nam Dinh Blue Steel is very confident, Thanh Hoa lacks stability under coach Tomislav Steinbruckner. In fact, the Thanh team no longer has a goal in the V-League because it is very difficult to enter the top 3.

In addition to the away field disadvantage, Thanh Hoa also suffered a loss of personnel. In the previous round, goalkeeper Trinh Xuan Hoang received a red card, leading to the Thanh team's defeat at home against Ho Chi Minh City FC. As a team with a weak defense (conceding 23 goals), and losing their number 1 goalkeeper, Thanh Hoa will find it difficult to resist Thep Xanh Nam Dinh. Remember, coach Vu Hong Viet and his team currently possess the strongest attack with 37 goals after 21 rounds.

If they defeat Thanh Hoa, Nam Dinh Steel Blue will be 5 points ahead of Hanoi FC, while the tournament has 4 more rounds to end. Maintaining their form and earning maximum points, Van Vi and his teammates can win the championship 1-2 rounds early.

In the remaining two matches, if The Cong Viettel wins against HAGL away, they still have hope of winning the championship, while coach Nguyen Anh Duc will make his debut for Binh Duong when hosting Quang Nam.
