TPO - Football review Hai Phong FC vs PVF-CAND, LPBank V.League 1-2025/26 - Information on forces, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. Hai Phong will enter a very difficult match with the team that invested heavily last summer, PVF-CAND. Surely they need the experience of the team that has played for many years in the highest level of Vietnam to be able to achieve good results.

Prediction before the match Hai Phong FC vs PVF-CAND

Last summer, Hai Phong said goodbye to their number one striker, Lucao. This player was the joint top scorer of the 2024/25 season. Not only was he a good scorer, he also became the link between the links in Hai Phong's attack. Almost all of Hai Phong's attacks had Lucao as their destination. The 33-year-old striker either finished himself or coordinated with his teammates, and in almost all of those situations, Hai Phong reaped positive results.

Lucao has moved to The Cong Viettel. It will not be easy for the Hai Phong team to fill the void left by the Brazilian striker. In the opening match against defending champion Nam Dinh , of course a loss was inevitable when the opponent was so strong, but it must be admitted that the lack of a killer on the attack line made Hai Phong's attacks monotonous. They lack a quality destination to keep their hopes alive.

PVF CAND won on the opening day.

Form, history of confrontations between Hai Phong FC vs PVF-CAND

Returning to Lach Tray, Hai Phong believed they could do better. But their opponent was a name that promised to be very difficult. After unexpectedly winning the promotion ticket last summer, PVF-CAND invested heavily to upgrade the squad. Experienced players such as Sy Huy, Thai Quy, Huy Hung appeared to help young stars such as Xuan Bac, Hieu Minh... have a foothold.

In particular, PVF-CAND welcomed 3 familiar faces from LPBank V.League 1: Joseph Mpande, Hoang Vu Samson and Amarildo. In which, Mpande and Amarildo were the heroes of the opening match, winning 2-1 against SLNA with 2 situations of choosing positions and finishing accurately.

With a well-balanced squad, PVF-CAND is optimistic about a successful relegation season. They have partly demonstrated that with the victory over SLNA. Today, the visitors are confident enough to cause difficulties for Hai Phong.

However, with the experience and ability to read the game of coach Chu Dinh Nghiem, Hai Phong may find a solution to the problem called PVF-CAND.
