Starting lineup HAGL vs CA TP HCM:
At Pleiku Stadium, Hoang Anh Gia Lai (14 points) will have the chance to reclaim the "debt" of a 0-1 loss in the first leg when hosting CAHCM (20 points). The mountain team is very determined to utilize their home advantage to achieve a favorable result against an opponent rated slightly stronger in terms of capability.
The 1-3 defeat against CAHN in round 14 away did not significantly affect HAGL's morale. Returning to Pleiku, the mountain team's squad is expected to show a different face, especially since their opponent is struggling with form.
In the last two matches, CAHCM suffered defeats against opponents considered weaker: Dong A Thanh Hoa and Becamex TP.HCM. Notably in the "Saigon derby," both coach Huynh Duc and key striker Tien Linh could not help their team find a goal.
Despite a fairly open game and opponents not defending too tightly, CAHCM remained stagnant in organizing attacks and finishing. This is the major weakness of the visiting team, and if they capitalize well on opportunities, HAGL can confidently aim for the goal of securing all 3 points.
HAGL:Trung Kien, Quang Kiet, Fiho Jairo, Du Hoc, Phuoc Bao, Thanh Son, Thanh Nhan, Silva, Ngoc Lam, Vinh Nguyen, Batista.
CA TP HCM: Le Giang, Matheus, Khoa Ngo, Quang Hung, Quoc Cuong, Viet Hoang, Endrick, Duc Phu, Ngoc Ha, Tien Linh, Williams.
