Ninh Binh has maintained its unbeaten record in the LPBank V-League after 9 rounds. They also hold the record for 33 consecutive matches without a loss since last season.

However, after the draw against Becamex Ho Chi Minh City in round 9, the team from the ancient capital of Hoa Lu is now only 1 point ahead of CAHN, while having played one more match.

This forces Hoang Duc and his teammates to be more cautious because they could lose their top spot at any time. Against weaker opponents, Ninh Binh cannot afford to drop points.

That's why, even when hosting SLNA – a team of average quality in the V-League – Ninh Binh still has to prepare as best as possible.

In this match, the home team will likely be without Thanh Trung due to a torn shin from the previous game. However, with players like Dang Van Lam, Geovane, Daniel, Hoang Duc, Duc Chien, etc., Ninh Binh is still considered far superior to SLNA.

It wouldn't be surprising if Ninh Binh played offensively, while SLNA would be forced to deploy a low-lying formation, playing defensively and counter-attacking with the goal of securing one point. The pressure on the visiting team is immense, and preventing Ninh Binh from scoring will be an extremely difficult task.
