Ho Chi Minh City Police and Ninh Binh are expected to provide a thrilling game for spectators at Thong Nhat Stadium in the 11th round of the V-League.
Not just a surprise, Ninh Binh is proving to be a major contender this season with a strong chance of winning the championship. After 10 matches, the Hoa Lu capital team remains unbeaten and holds the most wins (7 victories).
However, in their latest match, Hoang Duc and his teammates struggled to secure a win against SLNA. Therefore, in this away game at Thong Nhat Stadium, coach Gerard Albadalejo’s squad is eager to claim a big win to boost morale before the long break.
Still, Ninh Binh’s ambitions this round will face a tough challenge as their opponent is Ho Chi Minh City Police, one of the intriguing "wild cards" this season. With squad changes and reinforcements, coach Huynh Duc’s team has achieved decent results so far and currently ranks fifth in the standings.
Despite that, through several matches, the city team has revealed some issues, especially in attack development, even with Tien Linh in their lineup.
Meanwhile, Ninh Binh suffers a major setback without Duc Chien and Bao Toan due to suspension.
In terms of comparison, the visitors are still considered stronger in terms of squad, form, and style of play. However, with home advantage, Ho Chi Minh City Police are ready to aim at stopping the giants.
