Thanh Hoa vs SLNA Prediction, 18:00 April 12: Quenching the thirst for victory

Comments before the match Thanh Hoa vs SLNA

Although still in 4th place on the rankings, it must be admitted that Thanh Hoa is causing great disappointment. From competing for the championship, they are now facing the risk of falling to the bottom half of the rankings. In the last 8 matches, Thanh Hoa fans have been disappointed with the results of their team.

In the same period, Thanh Hoa and Binh Dinh are the two teams most thirsty for victory in the Vietnamese national championship. Even if counting on the arenas, in the last 12 matches, spanning from November 2024 to now, Thanh Hoa has only known draws and losses.

It forced Thanh Hoa to say goodbye to the talented “general” Velizar Popov, who brought the most prosperous period in the history of the team. The new coach who replaced Steinbruckner missed the appointment with Thanh Hoa when his team lost easily to Hanoi FC in the 17th round match.

Today, Thanh Hoa's "blue team" has an easier time, it is SLNA who has often been overwhelmed by them in recent meetings. Therefore, the task is considered easier and Thanh Hoa has no reason not to complete it.

Form, history of confrontations Thanh Hoa vs SLNA

After a long period of disappointment, Thanh Hoa has a chance to save the situation when they meet the neighboring team SLNA. Perhaps 12 matches without a win in all competitions is enough. Today, the mandatory task for the Thanh team is 3 points.

SLNA is performing much better than Thanh Hoa. From the second position from the bottom, this team is gradually returning to orbit with the contribution of former players who grew up at the Nghe An team such as Khac Ngoc and Van Khanh. The experience and level of these names, combined with the return of Michael Olaha, help SLNA's young players play steadily and the result is that in the last 4 matches, they have not lost, including 3 at LPBank V-League 1.

The points during this period are very valuable for SLNA, helping them move away from the danger zone on the rankings. Currently, SLNA is 4 points away from the play-off position and they are full of confidence in tonight's match.

But perhaps SLNA's happy days will stop in Thanh Hoa because they have a habit of being overwhelmed by Thanh Hoa. The last 10 times they met Thanh Hoa, SLNA was disappointed 10 times, with 8 of them being defeats. Since 2019 until now, after 6 years, SLNA has only drawn and lost to the neighboring team.

With the difference in score and overwhelming confrontation, perhaps SLNA will become a "delicious bait" for Thanh Hoa to end its long thirst.
