Hai Phong form and stats
2-3-1 (win-draw-lost) are the V-League numbers at home for Hai Phong so far this season.
In their previous game, the manager Chu led his Phong to a defeat away at Ha Noi. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Sân vận động Lạch Tray.
Before that match, a win away at Công An Nhân Dân.This is expected to be a close game, with Hai Phong perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hai Phong as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Hai Phong has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.
The manager Chu will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Hong Linh Ha Tinh in only four days.
The Hai Phong fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches.
Nam Dinh form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their V-League travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
Nam Dinh failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Công An Nhân Dân that ended with defeat 1-2. Late heartbreak for Dinh in the Công An Nhân Dân match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
A 0-1 defeat away at Ha Noi before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Nam Dinh playing away and similar expectations, we found 5 relevant matches. Results were 1 Nam Dinh win, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
Few goals the story here? 8 of this club's most recent 10 league rounds have seen two or less goals.
