Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh and Sông Lam Nghệ An meet at a moment when their most recent results went in different directions. The hosts just thrashed their opponents 3-1 in the league, while the visitors could only manage a 1-1 draw, so they are the side that needs to find their rhythm and get back to three points. Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh have picked up wins at home and scored 4 while conceding 3 from the three league matches they have played, but their defence is still not steady. Meanwhile, Sông Lam Nghệ An are still unbeaten in the league after three matches, scoring 6 and conceding 2, and they are unbeaten in 4 consecutive matches. Their defence is tight and their scoring is more consistent. After kick-off, the first thing to watch is how well Sông Lam Nghệ An can control the tempo in midfield, because if they dominate possession as they usually do, the hosts will have to sit deep and wait to counter, which is a game pattern the visitors are better at.
