Sai Gon form and stats
Sai Gon have played three V-League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Three draws in a row here for Sai, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Sai, as their goalkeeper Van Phong Pham has completely shut out the opponents for 205 minutes in the V-League.
Happy days for Sai Gon in their previous game, a V-League match away at Hai Phong (placed 11th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. A strong away win before that one, visiting Ha Noi and winning 1-0.
Sai Gon have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Sai have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
FLC Thanh Hoa form and stats

Thanh find the net regularly in their away games. 3 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, FLC Thanh Hoa have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
