PSM Makassar vs Hanoi Police Prediction, 7:30 p.m. April 2: Ultimate Challenge

Pre-match comments PSM Makassar vs Hanoi Police

Cong An Ha Noi (CAHN) will play the first leg of the semi-finals against PSM Makassar in the 2024/25 Southeast Asian Cup C1. The Indonesian team ranked 2nd in Group A after winning the final match against Dong A Thanh Hoa. Thanks to that, from 4th place, they climbed to 2nd place and unexpectedly won the ticket to the next round, a position that fans previously thought would be reserved for Thanh Hoa.

While PSM struggled to squeeze through the narrow door, CAHN showed perfect form from the beginning of the 2024/25 Southeast Asian Cup C1 campaign. CAHN scored 15 goals in 5 matches, becoming the team with the most goals, and also the only team to win all. They achieved an efficiency of up to 3 goals/match. Even Buriram, the top team in the region and the only Southeast Asian name present in the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup C1, had to surrender to the team of Quang Hai and Nguyen Filip.

This impressive achievement is in stark contrast to the form that CAHN has shown domestically, when in the last 6 matches they have only won 1. That poor result has left CAHN in 6th place on the rankings, 9 points away from the leading position.

CAHN won all 5 matches in the group stage

Form, head-to-head history PSM Makassar vs Hanoi Police

CAHN has the strongest attack in the Southeast Asian Cup C1. They have scored 15 goals with an average of 3 goals/match. This achievement far exceeds PSM when the Indonesian team only scored a total of 8 goals. The total of CAHN's 2 best scorers (Leo Arthur and Van Do, 4 goals each) is also equal to the number of goals that PSM Makassar had in the group stage.

Surely today, PSM Makassar's task is to stop the attacking power of the Vietnamese representative, a team with a habit of scoring early. In the match against Buriram United with a score of 2-1, CAHN scored a goal in the 3rd minute thanks to Phan Van Duc. Then, when visiting Kaya, CAHN won with a score of 2-1. At that time, they took the lead in the 16th minute.

When defeating Malaysian champions Kuala Lumpur City FC 3-2, CAHN once again took the lead with a goal in the 10th minute. In the match against Borneo, CAHN opened the scoring in the 20th minute. One thing in common is that CAHN always scored in the first half of the first half and maintained their advantage until the end of the match.

But PSM also has its own strengths. At home, this club is unbeaten in 6/7 recent matches. Although the performance in the national championship is poor, PSM is still very sublime at its holy land.

Surely, playing at home, PSM will know how to discourage CAHN, a team with poor away record. Remember, in the last 8 away trips, this team has only won 2.
