After a fairly successful away game (securing 1 point at Đông Á Thanh Hóa), SHB Đà Nẵng (1 point) returns to their home ground at Hoà Xuân to host Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh with the goal of winning all 3 points.
Although not highly rated before the season, having struggled to avoid relegation via a play-off against Trường Tươi Bình Phước, coach Lê Đức Tuấn and his players showed strong determination in their opening match at Thanh Hoá with a cohesive and very aggressive playing style.
Meanwhile, as experts predicted, Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh is not as strong this season after losing many key players and was easily defeated 1-3 at home by newcomer Ninh Bình FC. Therefore, the advantage is expected to favor the Quảng-based team Đà Nẵng, benefiting from home ground against a "manageable" opponent.
In reality, Hà Tĩnh performed quite well in the first half against Ninh Bình’s star-studded lineup, even scoring first but eventually lost. Their style still relies heavily on fitness, intense pressing, and disciplined play, but Hà Tĩnh seems effective mostly against teams that prefer attacking football.
On the other hand, this season Đà Nẵng has shown themselves to be a very tough and resilient team, willing to play pragmatically to secure points. The team from the Han River aims to accumulate important points to avoid a difficult chase like last season’s end.
