Thanh Hoa FC and Nam Định meet often enough to know each other's game well, and over the last six meetings Nam Định have been the better side almost every time. Most recently, in March, Nam Định won 1-0, but this time Thanh Hoa FC return to play at home sitting 4th and in better league form than Nam Định, who are 6th. Thanh Hoa FC have just won their latest league match, but across the last five games the picture is mixed, with wins and losses alternating, and the defence in particular has been carved open badly in some matches. Nam Định are not steady either: over the last five they have won only once, with draws and defeats mixed in. The attack still carries some threat, but there is no consistency at all. If Thanh Hoa FC score first at home, the game should flow toward the hosts, who can control the tempo, and Nam Định will have to open up and fight their way back, which will leave more space in the middle. But if Nam Định take the lead first, the game turns into the hosts having to push forward hard and risk being caught on the counter.
