Ho Chi Minh City and Sai Gon are both riding high in the V-League with their 2nd and 4th positions respectively. Expect a great game!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
