The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Hai Phong are in the 7th position while the guests worry at 11th.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Hai Phong form and stats
5-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the V-League numbers at home for Hai Phong so far this season.
Hai Phong's previous game was a V-League match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Viettel. The home side are looking to build on that result. A strong away win before that one, visiting FLC Thanh Hoa and winning 3-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
