The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Ho Chi Minh City are in the 5th position while the guesting Nam Dinh worry at 12th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
These teams have little in common geographically as Nam Dinh have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Ho Chi Minh City form and stats
2-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the V-League numbers at home for Ho Chi Minh City so far this season. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Minh, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 220 minutes without scoring a league goal. Ngo Viet Phu was the last player to find the net.
Minh lost their last game at Ha Noi (placed 4th) after a 1-5 scoreline. In the game before, an away victory match versus Ba Ria Vung Tau with a 3-2 scoreline.
As you see from the result above, Ho Chi Minh City suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Minh has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. Minh have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Nam Dinh form and stats
The manager Phạm Hồng Phú is not happy with the away performances in the V-League so far, as all 5 matches have been lost. A depressing five defeats in a row for Nam Dinh in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Ha Noi.
Dinh's last game was the home draw against Binh Duong (1-1). Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Sai Gon's place.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Dinh, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
As for the last six games between these two teams, there's two Ho Chi Minh City victories, two draws and two Nam Dinh wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.Ho Chi Minh City missing players
