Notable information before the matchHAGL vs Ninh Bình:

Hoàng Anh Gia Lai (15 points) will have a notable rematch with the newcomer Ninh Bình FC (28 points) at Pleiku Stadium. Notably, the Mountain City team's most recent victory was precisely against this opponent, when they secured all 3 points away from home. That result provides some confidence for HAGL ahead of the upcoming encounter, especially as they urgently need points to improve their league position.

On the other hand, Ninh Bình FC experienced an impressive start to the season, leading the table continuously for 10 rounds. However, the performance of the ancient capital's team has clearly declined recently. A streak of 5 matches without a win, including 4 losses, has caused them to drop to 3rd place and lose their advantage in the race.

Therefore, the recent break is seen as a crucial opportunity for coach Vũ Tiến Thành and his players to review existing issues. Improving their playstyle, particularly defensive stability and chance conversion, will be key factors if Ninh Bình wants to return strongly to the race during the season's acceleration phase.

Although theoretically assessed as slightly stronger in squad strength, Ninh Bình FC will certainly face many challenges. HAGL is in a "points-hungry" situation, being only 3 points above the playoff group, so they will fight with the highest determination. The match therefore promises to be very tense, as both teams have clear objectives and do not want to stumble further.

• Ninh Bình:Văn Lâm; Ngọc Bảo, Thanh Thịnh, Quang Nho, Đức Chiến; Thành Trung, Tiến Anh; Văn Thuận, Bảo Toàn, Gustavo, Geovane
