This Vietnamese Cup tie is a chance for Lam Dong to measure themselves against a team from a higher division, having just come off a V-League 2 match on 12 Sep with a lingering 0-1 defeat to Ho Chi Minh City FC. Sông Lam Nghệ An, meanwhile, are full of confidence after hammering Hà Nội 1-4 away in the V-League on 12 Sep, and before that they edged Bac Ninh 1-0 in the same competition on 6 Sep. Lam Dong face a tough task because their opponents are playing with confidence from two straight wins, but the hosts' advantage is playing at home, where they will likely sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances, especially in the second half when they tend to concede more than in the first. Sông Lam Nghệ An, for their part, look likely to push forward heavily and apply sustained pressure, though they also have weaknesses the hosts can exploit. The game will probably see Sông Lam Nghệ An dominate possession and try to open up the play, while Lam Dong focus on waiting for their moment and keeping the game tight. The key thing to watch after kick-off is how well the hosts cope with the early attacking waves; if they can keep their goal intact for a long spell, the game will only get more evenly matched.
