FLC Thanh Hoa form and stats
FLC Thanh Hoa have played 4 V-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
A nice win for Thanh last time playing, versus Hai Phong. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with Zé Paulo and Hoàng Đình Tùng scoring for the victors. Before that match, a win away at Ha Noi T&T.
This is expected to be a close game, with FLC Thanh Hoa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Thanh as a small favourite), we find eight games. FLC Thanh Hoa has won one of these, drawn four and lost three.
Thanh have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Sân vận động Thanh Hóa with 7 goals in 4 league matches. From these home matches, Thanh have conceded only 3 goals.
Ho Chi Minh City form and stats
It's not happening yet for Ho Chi Minh City on their V-League travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Minh's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Ho Chi Minh City go into this game after a win, the home game against Song Lam Nghe An that ended 3-0. Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Binh Dinh.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Ho Chi Minh City in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Minh, three draws and four defeats.
Goals are few and far between in Minh's away league games. Only 0 goals from 3 travels. Minh have conceded 6 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
