The clash between Hanoi FC and Hai Phong at Hang Day Stadium always carries the special intensity of a “Northern derby,” where form, reputation, and emotions run very high.
Hanoi enters this match energized after a 3-1 win away at SLNA’s Vinh stadium. That valuable three points lifted coach Harry Kewell’s team to 6th place with 18 points. Although they are still 11 points behind leaders CAHN, the recent victory serves as an important morale boost, fueling the capital club’s hopes to return to the title race. With limited room for mistakes left this season, Hanoi’s goal against Hai Phong is clear: secure all three points to keep chasing the top group.
On the other hand, Hai Phong did not prepare ideally after a 1-2 loss to The Cong Viettel at Lach Tray Stadium. This defeat has somewhat impacted coach Chu Đình Nghiêm’s squad morale ahead of a tough away fixture at Hang Day. Notably, this match marks a return to his “old home” for coach Chu Đình Nghiêm, who enjoyed much success with Hanoi FC. Although past stories are behind, the fierce and intense nature of the Hanoi – Hai Phong rivalry never diminishes.
For the team from the port city, losing to many opponents may be acceptable, but beating Hanoi remains the ultimate goal. However, achieving that is a tough challenge, especially as Hanoi shows defensive stability and clinical finishing. Goalkeeper Đình Triệu is likely to have a busy day under constant pressure from the hosts, while Hai Phong’s attack must capitalize fully on their chances if they want to leave Hang Day with points.
