Long An form and stats
Long was sent out of Vietnamese Cup in the 1st round last season.There's been little loot from Long An's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 11 away games in the V-League 2. Long An only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Long An have lost on their last two travels.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Long, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Ha Noi T&T. It was a V-League 2 defeat before that one as the away game against Ha Noi T&T wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
The attacking power of Long An when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Long An struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 20 goals conceded from these games.
