The season is still fairly new and the V-League table has to be read with caution. So far Hoang Anh Gia Lai find themselves in 9th position and Nam Dinh are placed 12th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
It's quite the trip for Nam Dinh when visiting Hoang as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
