Prediction Thanh Hoa vs Hong Linh Ha Tinh

The second match of round 1 of V-League 2023/2024 is the confrontation between Dong A Thanh Hoa Club and Hong Linh Ha Tinh.

The Thanh Hoa team is considered an interesting obstacle in the V-League championship race. Thanh Hoa understands that they do not have much chance of winning the title because they will be out of strength, but this team always "prefers" to defeat strong opponents.

However, before thinking about the emotional matches, they need a victory on the opening day at home against Hong Linh Ha Tinh. Thanh Hoa Club is certainly one of the teams with the most impressive warm-up before the new season.

Coach Velizar Popov and his team remained undefeated in the friendly matches before the new season. In the 2023 National Super Cup match, Thanh Hoa convincingly defeated Hanoi Police Club. In addition to maintaining the impressive playing style of the previous season, Thanh Hoa also received good news from new recruits.

After 5 years away from the team, Rimario returned with 2 goals. Newcomer Antonio Luiz showed why he was once a top player in the Brazilian National Championship. Luiz had no difficulty blocking both Thanh Long and Quang Hai. He played strongly but calmly and effectively.

Similarly, Hong Linh Ha Tinh basically had a transfer period that brought peace of mind. Newcomer Bruno plays well as a defensive midfielder and is also not bad as a central defender. Facing Thanh Hoa's strong attack, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong will choose to play a tight defense before thinking about surprise attacks.

At that time, Bruno would be more suitable in the center-back position. His task is to block Rimario tightly. But Mr. Popov still has many attacking options such as Trong Hung, Ti Phong, Thanh Binh or young striker Vo Nguyen Hoang. Their energy will bring surprises to all opponents.
