Ho Chi Minh City - SHB Da Nang: Opportunity to stay in the league

On July 22 and 23, the second round of matches of the second phase of V-League 2023 took place. In the relegation group, SHB Da Nang continued to have a "reverse final" match with Ho Chi Minh City. After the first round of matches of the second phase, Song Lam Nghe An officially remained in the league; Hoang Anh Gia Lai also almost successfully stayed in the league with 17 points, 9 points more than the two teams at the bottom of the table. Khanh Hoa (13 points), SHB Da Nang (11 points), Becamex Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh City (both 8 points) are the teams in dangerous positions and must compete fiercely to escape the only ticket to relegation.

SHB Da Nang is ranked above Becamex Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh City, but the gap is only equal to one win, so they can be caught up after one round. Therefore, the goal of coach Pham Minh Duc and his team is to win at least 1 point. In case they overcome their opponents, the Han River team will be considered to have "overall won" against Ho Chi Minh City in the relegation race. However, this match is predicted to not be easy for Phan Van Long and his teammates because in the first leg, SHB Da Nang lost 1-5.

Being pushed into a corner, Ho Chi Minh City is determined to defeat SHB Da Nang. However, before thinking about scoring, coach Vu Tien Thanh needs to strengthen the defense. This is the weakness of the Thong Nhat Stadium team that has been exploited by the opponent. According to statistics, after 14 matches, Ho Chi Minh City's strikers have scored 19 goals, the best among the 6 bottom teams competing for relegation.

They even scored more goals than the championship candidates such as Hanoi FC or Viettel. Ironically, the defense of this team showed the opposite performance when it received 29 goals, the highest among the 14 teams participating in the tournament.
In addition to the above match, the second round also has attractive matches: Nam Dinh - Viettel, Hong Linh Ha Tinh - Hanoi FC, Topenland Binh Dinh - Hanoi Police, Hai Phong - Dong A Thanh Hoa, Khanh Hoa - Song Lam Nghe An, Becamex Binh Duong - Hoang Anh Gia Lai.
