Ha Tinh vs Ninh Binh form

After more than a decade of absence from the V.League, Ninh Binh has returned. Thanks to strong investment from Mr. Thuy, the ancient capital Hoa Lu team easily finished at the top of the First Division, thereby winning the only ticket to direct promotion.

Ninh Binh's ambition certainly does not stop at being present at the number one playground of the S-shaped strip of land. Long-term plans, including the goal of competing for the V.League throne, are all in sight.

After shocking with the blockbuster contracts of Hoang Duc and Van Lam at the beginning of last season, the ancient capital team continued to strengthen the quality of the squad with a series of faces that have proven their class such as Duc Chien, Chau Ngoc Quang, Bao Toan, Dung Quang Nho...

Not only in terms of domestic players, Ninh Binh's foreign players are also of high quality such as Geovane Magno, Janclesio, Gustavo Henrique, Alfredo Pedraza and Victor Morales.

On the bench, new coach Gerard Albadalejo brought with him a team of 5 assistants, promising to thoroughly apply the Spanish style of ball control and beautiful passing.

So even though they are just rookies, Ninh Binh does not hesitate to set the goal of finishing in the top 3. This is not too far away if you witness the careful preparation in many aspects of the home team Ninh Binh.

On the other hand, Ha Tinh entered the new season with many skeptical eyes. The Hong Mountain team is not highly rated in V.League 2024/25 but surprised everyone with a very annoying playing style.

The nickname "invincible" therefore belongs to the representative of the Central region, not the big names competing for the championship.

However, the captain who created the most successful season in the club's history, Nguyen Thanh Cong, and his four assistants suddenly said goodbye. Six other players also followed the Nghe An strategist to leave.

Facing many personnel changes, new coach Nguyen Cong Manh is still confident in his ability to help the new team play impressively.

The strategist born in 1982 is not unfamiliar with Ha Tinh's situation because he spent 4 years working as an assistant here for coach Nguyen Minh Duc.

10 new players have been brought in, including a pair of outstanding foreign players: Yevgeniy Serdyuk (Ukraine), the 3rd most expensive player in V.League (800,000 euros) and Charles Atshimene (Nigeria), the striker who contributed 11 goals last season for Quang Nam .

However, the scenario of Ha Tinh earning all 3 points on the opening day is not high. Even pocketing 1 point against an opponent with such an even force in all lines like Ninh Binh promises to be not an easy problem to solve for the home team.
