Key details to note before the Hai Phong vs Thanh Hoa match:

Following a disappointing series of matches, Hai Phong FC enters Round 14 of the LPBank V.League 2025/26 under significant pressure to win. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's team has only won one of their last five games, suffering three consecutive defeats against Ninh Binh, The Cong Viettel, and Hanoi. Two losses right at Lach Tray have visibly shaken the confidence of their supporters.

Nevertheless, their 5th place position with 20 points keeps Hai Phong's hopes alive for competing in the upper group. The Lunar New Year break is seen as a crucial period for the team to recharge and adjust their mentality. The coaching staff emphasizes focus and determination for the second half of the season, particularly for the season-opening match which holds symbolic importance for building momentum.

On the other side, Thanh Hoa FC had faced a severe squad crisis, often registering only the minimum number of players for matches. However, the situation improved significantly after the club fulfilled its financial obligations to FIFA, paying approximately 3 billion VND to lift the transfer ban and pave the way for new signings.

Immediately afterwards, Thanh Hoa activated four new contracts, notably foreign player Amar Catic along with three experienced and promising domestic players. These additions significantly improve the visiting team's squad depth, ending the previous shortage of rotation options that had led to fatigue and lost advantages in recent matches.

Despite this, the home advantage and Hai Phong's determination to restore their reputation still give them a slight edge. Thanh Hoa may show improvement with their new players, but their lack of full integration remains a major question mark. If they capitalize on opportunities and maintain stability, the Port City team is capable of securing all three points on the opening day.

Predicted lineups for Hai Phong vs Thanh Hoa:

• Hai Phong:Dinh Trieu, Tien Dung, Tien Dung, Van Minh, Manh Dung, Viet Hung, Huu Son, Moses, Antonio Souza, Minh Di, Tagueu.
• Thanh Hoa:Xuan Hoang, Ngoc Tan, Ngoc Ha, Minh Doan, Quoc Phuong, Van Tung, Ngoc Quy, Van Loi, Ba Tien, Ngoc My, Thongkhamsavath.
