"Shock" at Binh Phuoc Club
At noon on February 28, exactly one day before the big match, Binh Phuoc Club announced that it was parting ways with coach Nguyen Anh Duc. The club representative said that the strategist from Binh Duong had resigned, despite the board of directors' desire for both sides to continue working together. This was a very surprising decision for experts because after the 0-1 loss to Ninh Binh Club in round 9 of the first division this season, coach Anh Duc was still optimistic, affirming that the race was not over yet and that he and his students would fight with all their might.

It is very likely that Binh Phuoc Club will recruit a more prestigious coach with a more impressive record. However, parting ways with coach Anh Duc at this sensitive time brings anxiety to the team's fans. Binh Phuoc Club is in dire need of a victory to revive the spirit that has been somewhat affected after the defeat against Ninh Binh Club. A new coach will hardly make an immediate difference, while coach Anh Duc has been with the team since the beginning. He understands the strengths and weaknesses of each player to come up with the most optimal personnel and tactical plans, aiming for victory against the competitor, PVF-CAND Club.
Will Cong Phuong play?
Another worrying point for Binh Phuoc FC is that Cong Phuong’s ability to play is still uncertain. He suffered a thigh strain injury in the match against Dong Nai FC on January 19 and will need about a month to fully recover. That means if the recovery period goes smoothly, the striker from Nghe An will return to face PVF-CAND.
However, up to now, Cong Phuong and Binh Phuoc Club have not shown any signs of being ready to play. If this striker does not participate, the difficulties for Binh Phuoc Club will be very great because this team is lacking a player who can carry the ball, lead the game, create breakthroughs... Without Cong Phuong, talented strikers with a lot of experience playing in V-League such as Le Thanh Binh and Ho Tuan Tai will not have any chance to finish. This was shown in the loss to Ninh Binh Club. Obviously, the problem of depending on Cong Phuong is still unsolved.
Binh Phuoc Club needs Cong Phuong to return as soon as possible
On the other side of the front line, PVF-CAND Club is also in impressive form with a series of 4 consecutive wins, including 3 clean sheets, scoring 6 goals and only conceding 1 goal. The major contributor is midfielder Martin Lo with 1 goal and 2 assists. This is a factor that Binh Phuoc Club needs to be especially wary of. In addition, PVF-CAND Club also has cohesion when using a series of young players who played football together when they were young.
In the context of Ninh Binh Club having overwhelming strength, leading the table with 10 wins after 10 matches and showing no signs of slowing down, Binh Phuoc Club and PVF-CAND, the two teams with 20 points each, need to consider competing for the 2nd place, equivalent to a play-off spot for promotion with the team second to last in the V-League. Therefore, the cashew nut country team needs to make every effort to revive their spirit, especially after parting ways with coach Anh Duc. However, this is not an easy task.
VAR will be applied in the top match of the first division.
With the importance of a match affecting the ticket to the play-off, VAR will be applied in the confrontation between Binh Phuoc Club and PVF-CAND. This is the second match VAR has been applied in the first division, after the match between Binh Phuoc Club and Ninh Binh at Binh Phuoc Stadium.
