Prediction of Ho Chi Minh City vs Hong Linh Ha Tinh, 7:15 p.m. April 25: Equal match

Match review

HCMC entered this match with 22 points after 19 rounds, ranked 9th in the rankings and carrying a series of 3 consecutive draws. Although they could not win, the fact that they held two strong teams, Thep Xanh Nam Dinh and CAHN, to a draw away from home showed clear progress in defense as well as the competitive spirit of coach Phung Thanh Phuong and his team.

On the other side, Hong Linh Ha Tinh is in stable form and has a very impressive record when losing only 1 match in 19 matches (5 wins, 13 draws). Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team currently has 28 points and is temporarily ranked 6th on the rankings. The important 1-0 victory right at Pleiku Stadium against HAGL in the previous round was not only a big boost in spirit but also helped them continue to nurture the hope of breaking into the top 3 when the gap with the third-ranked team, Dong A Thanh Hoa, is only 2 points.

Interestingly, both Ho Chi Minh City and Hong Linh Ha Tinh are the “kings of draws” this season. The away team leads with 13 draws, while the home team is not far behind with 10 draws. This clearly reflects the playing style of both teams’ strategists, who focus on certainty and efficiency.

The clash at Thong Nhat, therefore, is likely to be a tight match, where every gap, every opportunity, every moment of individual brilliance can become the deciding factor.

Form, head-to-head history

In the last five confrontations, Ho Chi Minh City has not been able to enjoy the joy of victory, with 2 draws and 3 losses. However, they have great motivation, especially playing at Thong Nhat Stadium on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the country's reunification.

In the first leg, the two teams drew 1-1 at Ha Tinh Stadium, and a similar scenario could repeat itself if no individual moment of brilliance appears.

Force information

Ho Chi Minh City is missing midfielder Dao Quoc Gia due to a red card and centre-back Matheus Duates due to receiving three yellow cards. In addition, two goalkeepers, Patrik Le Giang and Van Tien, are still injured.
