This match features two teams living in the basement of the V-League, Sai Gon holding 14th place and Hong Linh Ha Tinh lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Sai Gon have the fewest scored goals (2) in V-League
- Hong Linh Ha Tinh have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (1) in V-League
It's no vacation for neither Sai nor Hong Linh Ha Tinh as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Hong Linh Ha Tinh have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Sai Gon form and stats
Sai Gon, who have the fewest scored goals (2) in V-League, have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the V-League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Sai with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Song Lam Nghe An game, 71 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Sai Gon are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 472 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Merlo Sebastian Gaston).
Sai are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Than Quang Ninh. Heartbreak before that as Sai lost 0-3 at Viettel's place.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Sai Gon here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Sai Gon have conceded 3 in these home matches.
Hong Linh Ha Tinh form and stats
The V-League season is young and Hong Linh Ha Tinh have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.
There were no winners in Hong's previous match, a V-League home game that ended 1-1 vs Binh Dinh (placed 7th). Preceding that, the 3-5 home loss versus FLC Thanh Hoa.
Goals are few and far between in Hong's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. As opposed to that, Hong have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Sai Gon victories, three draws and five Hong Linh Ha Tinh wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
