At Bình Dương Stadium, Becamex TP.HCM (19 points) will face the newcomer Ninh Bình FC (31 points) in a context where the home team must secure points to avoid falling into the bottom group of the table. Their recent results – a home win against HLHT and a draw away against PVFCAND – provide positive signals for Coach Nobuhiro and his team. In the first leg, they also drew 1-1 with the opponent, indicating this is not a highly unbalanced matchup.
Nevertheless, considering squad quality, Ninh Bình is still rated slightly superior. This team is very determined to win in order to solidify its position in the leading group and maintain hopes of competing for a high ranking as the season concludes. However, their unstable form recently has not provided reassurance.
For Becamex TP.HCM, the fluctuations on the coaching bench – having changed three head coaches – have not yet yielded clear effectiveness. The squad lacks depth, plus injuries to key players like Vĩ Hào and Minh Khoa, have significantly weakened their strength. Foreign players have also not demonstrated a leading role, resulting in a lack of breakthrough in their play against strong opponents.
On the other hand, Ninh Bình, despite possessing a good squad, faces many issues. The foreign players' declining form has shifted the burden onto Geovane in the attack. The defensive system also continuously exposes mistakes, not improving even with adjustments from the coaching staff. This shows that this team still has much work to do to achieve its set goals.
Becamex TP HCM: Minh Toàn, Tùng Quốc, Khắc Vũ, Tuấn Cảnh, Đình Khương, Tấn Tài, Thanh Hậu, Hồng Quân, Minh Khoa, Ferraira Hugo, Uhochukwu.
Ninh Bình:Văn Lâm, Đức Chiến, Ngọc Bảo, Thanh Thịnh, Tiến Anh, Quang Nho, Thành Trung, Bảo Toàn, Quốc Việt, Geovane, Gustavo.
