Form of Ho Chi Minh City Club vs Binh Dinh
At this point, Ho Chi Minh City FC should be resting easy because they have completed their mission of staying in the league. However, their poor performance over the past two months has prevented the team from reaching the safe zone.
Before the penultimate round, the Thong Nhat Stadium team is currently ranked 11/14 with 25 points, 2 and 4 points more than the 3 opponents below. The reason why Ho Chi Minh City Club is still in the storm of relegation is because they have only won 1 and lost 4 after the last 5 rounds.
Overall, Ho Chi Minh City FC still holds the right to self-determination. However, if they fail to host their direct opponent Binh Dinh, things will become much more difficult for the team under coach Phung Thanh Phuong. In the final round, the Red Battleship will have to travel north to play as guests at The Cong Stadium.
The trip is full of uncertainties in the context that the capital representative still has the goal of finishing in the top 3. Therefore, to avoid putting themselves in a dangerous situation, Ho Chi Minh City Club needs a positive result this weekend. At least, an unbeaten record is enough to help the Thong Nhat Stadium team get closer to the ticket to stay in the league.
However, to ensure their continued stay in the V.League next season, Ho Chi Minh City FC needs all 3 points. This becomes both an easy and difficult task for Thanh Khoi and his teammates. In the last 5 encounters with Binh Dinh, the home team has not tasted defeat once, winning 3 victories.
But with their recent poor form, especially their recent 3 consecutive home defeats, Ho Chi Minh City FC will have to enter the match with a cautious attitude. However, their opponents are very hungry for points and promise to fight with all their might.
Binh Dinh failed to take advantage of the make-up match of round 20 to create a safer gap with the bottom position. The heavy 1-5 loss in Quy Nhon against CAHN left the team under the command of coach Tran Minh Chien still stuck in the second-to-last position.
Currently, Binh Dinh has the same 21 points as the bottom team Da Nang but is ranked higher thanks to a better goal difference, and is only 2 points behind the team above SLNA. That situation brings an unpredictable scenario in the remaining two rounds.
If they leave Thong Nhat with a victorious smile, Binh Dinh will even drag Ho Chi Minh City Club into a fierce battle. But even just 1 point is not an easy task for Van Trien and his teammates.
