Thể Công-Viettel come into this match after just finishing their AFC Champions League Two game with a 1-1 score against Melbourne Victory on 16 Sep, while Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh came through their Vietnamese Cup game with a goalless 0-0 against Xuân Thiện Phú Thọ on 20 Sep. The two teams therefore arrive in clearly different rhythms. The hosts have just faced a heavy continental-level game and are still unbeaten at home, while the visitors have just played a cup game that emphasised solidity more than attacking. In the league, Thể Công-Viettel just lost 0-1 to Công an Hà Nội on 10 Sep, but before that they travelled to beat Trường Tươi Đồng Nai 2-0 on 4 Sep. Meanwhile Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh beat Trường Tươi Đồng Nai 1-0 at home on 13 Sep, but also lost 0-2 to Công an Hà Nội on 5 Sep. Both therefore have both games they took points from and games they let slip in this recent stretch. This game is likely to be one where the hosts control the tempo more, because the trend of controlling play leans clearly towards Thể Công-Viettel. If the visitors score first, the game will turn into sitting deep and waiting to counter straight away, which will force the hosts to push harder to find openings. But if the hosts take the lead first, Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh will be forced to open up, and that is the moment Thể Công-Viettel are best at.
