After 9 rounds, Becamex TP.HCM has only gathered 8 points, currently placed 9th on the table. Coach Đặng Trần Chỉnh’s team has yet to fix their ongoing instability since the season started. In their last 5 matches, the city team has only beaten Nam Định FC once, with 2 draws and 2 losses.
The biggest weakness of Becamex TP.HCM lies in defense, having conceded 16 goals, one of the highest in the league. However, the 1-1 draw against Ninh Bình in the previous round, with a goal from Ugochukwu Oduenyi, somewhat boosted the team's morale.
The head-to-head history between the two teams also shows considerable balance. In their last 10 encounters, Becamex TP.HCM won 3, drew 3, and lost 4 against Hải Phòng. Notably, at home in Gò Đậu, the purple-shirted team is unbeaten in the last 3 matches against the coastal club.
On the other side, Hải Phòng FC is showing impressive form under coach Chu Đình Nghiêm. Since their defeat to Công an Hà Nội in September, the coastal team has bounced back strongly with 6 unbeaten games across all competitions, including several notable wins in the V-League.
Currently, Hải Phòng ranks 4th with 17 points after 9 rounds, just 2 points behind the top group. Their strength comes from an efficient attack, where foreign players Joel Tagueu and Fred Friday consistently shine.
The recent 2-1 victory over Công an TP.HCM is the clearest proof of the coastal team’s resilience. Despite trailing in the first half, Hải Phòng made a strong comeback to win right at Thống Nhất Stadium.
Given their current form and squad, Hải Phòng is considered slightly stronger. However, Becamex TP.HCM always proves to be a tough opponent at home. Coach Đặng Trần Chỉnh is likely to adopt a defensive counter-attacking strategy, using Oduenyi’s speed to create surprises. Meanwhile, Hải Phòng will stick to their usual wing attacks and high pressing tactics.
A draw might satisfy both sides, but if Hải Phòng maintains their current form, they have the capability to secure all 3 points and continue their pursuit among the leaders.
