The V-League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Sai Gon and Nam Dinh are placed 11th and 10th respectively.
- Sai Gon have the fewest matches over the total-line (0) in V-League
- Nam Dinh have the most conceded goals (8) in V-League
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a V-League match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Binh Duong, so at least Sai Gon are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
It's quite the trip for Nam Dinh when visiting Sai Gon as the cities are 1500 kilometers apart.
Sai Gon form and stats
Perfect V-League season at home so far for Sai Gon 2 wins from 2 appearances.
Stress levels are on the rise for Sai Gon's attacking players as they have now played 202 minutes without scoring in a league game. Merlo Sebastian Gaston was their last goal scorer.
The fans are hoping that Sai Gon will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the V-League game against Binh Duong (placed 5th). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Ho Chi Minh City.
Sai Gon has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Nam Dinh form and stats
No V-League points yet away for Nam Dinh, from their first 2 matches. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Nam Dinh are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Dinh are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the V-League against Binh Dinh (placed 8th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Viettel.
It's early days yet, but Nam Dinh has scored 2 and conceded 6 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Sai, zero draws and four wins for Nam Dinh. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
