* PRE-MATCH PREDICTIONS

The final match of the U.19 national tournament this afternoon is more important than expected because Thanh Hoa and Nghe An football have long had a lot of fate with each other when the confrontation between these two neighboring teams is as intense as the confrontations between Hanoi and Viettel or Hai Phong and Hanoi. Not only are the strong forces always fiercely competing with each other, but these encounters are always fiery because no one wants to fall behind or lose to their opponent next door. They always draw in these encounters. In the V-League at the beginning of the year, in the opening match at home, Thanh Hoa was held to a 0-0 draw by SLNA in a heated match.

At the U.21 tournament at home last year, SLNA, despite leading 1-0 through Dinh Xuan Tien, let Nguyen Thai Son equalize 1-1 for Thanh Hoa from the penalty spot. At the U.19 tournament last year at PVF, Thanh Hoa and SLNA also drew 0-0 in the quarter-finals and the Nghe An team later won in a penalty shootout after goalkeeper Nguyen Canh Tiep saved 4 penalties. At the group stage of the U.19 tournament this year at Tay Ninh Stadium, the two teams drew 1-1. Ha Minh Duc scored the opening goal and Tran Quoc Hoa equalized for SLNA.

Because they have drawn many times in 90 minutes, the final match this afternoon does not exclude the possibility of the two teams drawing again. That possibility was confirmed by the leaders of both teams. Head coach Nguyen Van Vinh of U.19 SLNA said: "We are very eager to win, but Thanh Hoa is a strong opponent and understands our playing style very well, so both teams will definitely have to be careful with every pass. SLNA will try to take the initiative in the game to minimize the opponent's destructive power. If we have to take a penalty kick, we are very confident in our ability."

Head of the U.19 Thanh Hoa delegation, Nguyen Van Hoan, also said: "Thanh Hoa has never won the U.19 championship. 26 years ago, when it was the U.18 tournament, Thanh Hoa won the championship, but since the transition to U.19, we have not been crowned once. This is the first time Thanh Hoa is present in the final match, so we will be very determined to win. Of course, it will not be easy because SLNA is very strong and always has a very annoying playing style. They have many individuals who know how to create breakthroughs, so Thanh Hoa will have to seize the opportunity and organize a good defense. The lesson of having been equalized in the group stage makes us even more focused and determined."

Both teams have outstanding names such as Nguyen Quang Vinh, Ngo Van Bac, Le Van Quy, Le Nguyen Hoang, Le Dinh Long Vu, goalkeeper Nguyen Huu Hau (SLNA) or Nguyen Ngoc My, Cam Ba Thanh, Ha Minh Duc, Nguyen Cong Son, Truong Thanh Nam (Thanh Hoa) who are capable of bringing a feast of goals and beautiful plays. This U.19 Finals does not have many outstanding names, so most of the best faces are concentrated in both SLNA and Thanh Hoa. Therefore, this afternoon's final match will be extremely interesting and promises to be attractive from start to finish.

Thanh Hoa's path was relatively favorable when in the group stage they tied SLNA 1-1, beat Dong Thap 4-2 after being down 2-0, beat Binh Duong 3-1, in the quarter-finals Thanh Hoa beat HAGL by 11m kicks, in the semi-finals easily beat Da Nang 4-2. Meanwhile, SLNA in the group stage ranked second after Thanh Hoa when they tied 1-1, beat Binh Duong 2-1, and drew Dong Thap 0-0. In the quarter-finals, SLNA beat Binh Phuoc 4-1, in the semi-finals beat Hanoi by 11m kicks after a 1-1 draw. Many other individual titles such as excellent player, top scorer, excellent goalkeeper and typical squad will certainly belong to the players of these two teams.
