Key information before the Ninh Binh vs Becamex TP HCM match:

At Ninh Binh’s home ground, the host team Ninh Binh FC (20 points) is still considered superior when facing Becamex TPHCM (B. Binh Duong, 7 points). Ninh Binh FC maintains an impressive unbeaten streak of 8 matches, including a 3-1 victory away at PVF CAND last round.

NBFC is a notable phenomenon in Asian football due to a record unbeaten streak of 28 matches (from the 2024/25 First Division to the 2025/26 V.League 1). This strength comes from the outstanding form of their "playmaker" Hoàng Đức alongside the deadly striker duo Da Silva – Gustavo (rated just slightly below CAHN’s pair Alan – Leonardo Artur) and a squad full of quality stars.

Considering overall squad strength, form, and home advantage, Becamex TPHCM is predicted to face many challenges. Under new coach Đặng Trần Chỉnh, B. Binh Duong has a modest record (1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss), with a surprise win over defending champions Nam Dinh but a quick defeat against Hanoi FC.

Given the current situation, the Thủ land team putting all efforts into securing a draw is already seen as a big success, showing they still have much to improve after the Nguyễn Anh Đức coaching era.

Expected lineups Ninh Binh vs Becamex TP HCM
