This game involves two squads residing in the lower section of the V-League, Da Nang holding 9th place and Sai Gon sitting at 13th. A decent chance for one of the squads to better their position.
- Da Nang have the most dropped points from leading position (13) in V-League
- Sai Gon have the most conceded goals (37) in V-League
Sai Gon have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
The hosts Da Nang saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the V-League. That game was an away game at Ha Noi, so at least Da Nang are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

No payout for Da Nang in their previous match, an away game at Ha Noi that ended in defeat 0-3. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after collecting points in three league rounds.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Hoang Anh Gia Lai.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
