Match review

With a relatively safer position than their opponents, with 21 points after 18 matches, the Hai Phong team clearly holds the advantage. The 5-point gap compared to Binh Dinh is a significant difference, but not enough for Hai Phong to feel secure, especially in the context that there are still 8 more rounds of the season (including this round).

Under the leadership of Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem, Hai Phong still maintains the image of a team with a strong personality and fiery playing style, especially when playing at the "fire pan" Lach Tray. This is not only a place to fuel the spirit of the players, but also regularly witness important victories of the home team. The upcoming match is a golden opportunity for Hai Phong to both "repay" the defeat in the first leg and widen the gap with Binh Dinh - an opponent who is very thirsty for points in the relegation race.

On the opposite side, Quy Nhon Binh Dinh, after a period of decline, has begun to show signs of improvement. The victory right at Tam Ky Stadium of Quang Nam in the previous round is the clearest proof of the fighting spirit of coach Nguyen Duc Thang's team.

Those three valuable points not only helped Binh Dinh break the streak of 9 matches without knowing victory, but also shortened the gap with direct competitor SLNA to 2 points - a great motivation for them to continue to hope in the survival race.

However, this trip to the North will be a real challenge for Binh Dinh. They will have to put in all their effort as they did when defeating Quang Nam if they want to get at least 1 point from Hai Phong. A point-earning match will not only save their position, but also give them more confidence for the rest of the journey.

Form, head-to-head history

In the last 5 encounters, Hai Phong won 1, drew 2, lost 2. In the first leg of the 2024/25 season, Binh Dinh won 1-0 at home in Quy Nhon thanks to Alisson's only goal in the 17th minute.

Hai Phong is in stable form, especially at home with a series of 3 recent unbeaten matches at Lach Tray (2 wins, 1 draw).

Meanwhile, Binh Dinh, after an important victory over Quang Nam, is showing signs of revival, but still lacks stability in away matches (winning only 1 out of 5 recent away matches).

Force situation

Hai Phong had no notable absences.

Meanwhile, Binh Dinh will not have the services of captain Cao Van Trien and defender Tran Trung Hieu due to suspension.

Expected lineup:

Hai Phong : Van Toan, Bicou, Trung Hieu, Van Toi, Nhat Minh, Hoang Nam, Huu Son, Viet Hung, Van Tu, Lucao, Friday.

Binh Dinh : Tuan Linh, Hoai Duong, Salaza, Van Khoa, Hoang Minh, Duc Huy, Hong Quan, Van Trien, Pinto, Ngoc Tin, Rodrigo.

Predicted result: Hai Phong 2-1 Binh Dinh
