Binh Duong - Hanoi FC: More challenges for coach Le Huynh Duc

Binh Duong Coach Le Huynh Duc introduced Binh Duong home fans with a big challenge - hosting defending champion Hanoi in round 9 of V-League 2023 this afternoon.

Mr. Huynh Duc is the third coach of Binh Duong since the beginning of the season. And coincidentally, all three coaches only earned one point in their first match in charge. Coach Lu Dinh Tuan and his team drew 2-2 with Hai Phong in their opening match. Coach Nguyen Quoc Tuan also drew 1-1 with SLNA in his debut match, before Mr. Huynh Duc and Binh Duong shared points with Khanh Hoa in round 8 a few days ago. But coaches Dinh Tuan and Quoc Tuan, after getting points in their first matches, all lost the following matches and had to leave. Coach Huynh Duc certainly does not want that bad scenario to repeat itself.

In V-League 2023, Binh Duong has not won after eight rounds. More than anyone, the team from Thu Dau Mot is eager to win all three points. They put that desire into the experience and coaching talent of Mr. Huynh Duc.

The new coach of Binh Duong has actually made some changes. He was willing to leave Nguyen Tien Linh on the bench so that Rimario could operate comfortably in the attack. He used players who practiced hard, such as Doan Anh Viet to replace Ndiaye. However, in the 1-1 draw with Khanh Hoa on May 21, Binh Duong still could not do the most important thing, which was to concretize the opportunities created. How to help Rimario or Tien Linh regain the feeling of scoring goals continues to be a difficult problem for Mr. Huynh Duc when he meets Hanoi FC this afternoon.

Hanoi FC continues to be without Van Quyet due to suspension, and Hung Dung due to injury. But the defending V-League champions still have quality names such as Duy Manh, Thanh Chung, Viet Anh, Tuan Hai, Thai Quy, Goncalves or Willian Henrique. After drawing 1-1 with their "brother" Da Nang, Hanoi FC really wants to win to chase the top of the table Thanh Hoa. Combined with Binh Duong's thirst for victory, Go Dau Stadium this afternoon promises to witness a thrilling, uncompromising match.

At Hoa Xuan Stadium, coach Phan Thanh Hung's Da Nang has a chance to find their first win when hosting HAGL. After four draws and four losses, the Han River team is at the bottom of the table. Da Nang will be looking to young players Dinh Duy, Phi Hoang, Van Long, Trong Nam, and Cong Nhat to win three points against an equally matched opponent like HAGL.

But HAGL is playing well away from home with one win, two draws and one loss in four away matches in the 2023 V-League. They also won against Da Nang at Hoa Xuan Stadium in the 2021 season, so they are full of confidence. If coach Kiatisuk can effectively promote the effectiveness of foreign players, HAGL is capable of winning to rise to the top group.

In Nghe An, Ha Tinh will host Ho Chi Minh City FC - the team currently at the bottom of the table. The home team is currently ranked 10th, but is not yet safe because the gap in points with the bottom group is quite close. Therefore, hosting the very weak Ho Chi Minh City is an opportunity for coach Nguyen Thanh Cong and his students to get the maximum points to enter the safe group.

On the contrary, Ho Chi Minh City is under great pressure after losing 3-5 to Cong An Ha Noi at home in round 8. The most practical goal for coach Vu Tien Thanh and his team at this time is probably just a draw. And to realize that goal, Ho Chi Minh City needs to adjust its defense to play more solidly against Ha Tinh's attacks.
