The match between Hai Phong FC and Hanoi Police FC is a very special match for many people. This will likely be Filip Nguyen's last match before he officially becomes a Vietnamese citizen (expected to receive citizenship on December 6). This is also the first match of coach Gong Oh-kyun in the V-League, since he took the coaching seat of the police team. This match also witnessed the return of star player Nguyen Quang Hai after more than a month of absence due to injury.
Having to play away at Lach Tray of Hai Phong FC is always not an easy task for any team. Not only is it difficult to defeat at home, Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's team is also a collective of many quality names and has a really annoying playing style. The 5-3 victory of the port city team against Hanoi FC in round 2 is proof.
Filip Nguyen is expected to receive Vietnamese citizenship this week. This is a necessary condition for the 31-year-old goalkeeper to be able to wear the Vietnamese national team shirt.
The Hai Phong team is a difficult problem for the current V-League champion at the moment. However, this is also considered a "test" for the talent of Coach Gong Oh-kyun and the ambition of the Hanoi Police Club. The former U.23 Vietnam coach needs to prove what he has set out to do, in terms of raising the level of the police team. The Korean coach is certainly eager for a smooth start with his new team at the highest football tournament in Vietnam.
In terms of personnel, the Hanoi Police Club has the strongest squad for the away match against Hai Phong Club. Quang Hai's return will help the police team's attack become more unpredictable. In addition, fans will continue to look forward to new plans from Coach Gong Oh-kyun, after he surprised everyone with his use of personnel in the victory over HAGL (at the National Cup) not long ago.

On the other hand, Hai Phong FC will not have the service of central defender Pham Manh Hung (who is currently serving a suspension). However, the port city team has a very sharp striker Lucao in their squad, so Hanoi Police FC needs to be extremely cautious.
