Viettel Sports Corporation recently suffered a disappointing 3-3 draw against Da Nang – the second-to-last team in the standings. This result felt like a defeat, especially considering they were chasing the top spot.

Returning to Hang Day Stadium to host Ninh Binh , the military team must secure all three points to keep their hopes alive of competing for the championship with CAHN, even though the current gap is 9 points with only 6 rounds remaining in the season.

On the opposite side, Ninh Binh also faced considerable pressure, having dropped to 4th place after Hanoi 's victory. The team from the ancient capital needed a win to return to the medal-winning group, especially after their 2-3 defeat against Hanoi in the previous round.

However, Ninh Binh's form is showing signs of stagnation. Their disjointed playing style, heavily reliant on long balls, makes them easy to predict. Under coach Vu Tien Thanh, the team still possesses a quality squad but has not been able to maximize its effectiveness.

Meanwhile, The Cong has the home advantage and a well-balanced squad. Despite the absence of coach Popov due to disciplinary action, if they maintain focus and make good use of their opportunities, the home team can certainly aim for an important victory.

Predicted lineup for The Cong Viettel vs Ninh Binh

The Cong Viettel: Van Viet, Tuan Tai, Tien Dung, Colona, ​​Viet Tu, Nhat Nam, Wesley, Cong Phuong, Van Khang, Paulo Tapeu, Lucas Vinicius.

Ninh Binh : Van Lam, Thanh Thinh, Quang Nho, Thai Binh, Tien Anh, Duc Chien, Thanh Trung, Hoang Duc, Geovane - Tai Loc, Quoc Viet, Friday.
