Starting lineups for CAHN vs Hà Tĩnh:
The match between CAHN and Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh (HLHT) at Hàng Đẫy promises to be one of the highlights of the 11th round of V-League 2025/26. With 20 points from 8 matches, CAHN is maintaining extremely stable form and is one of the two top favorites for the title alongside Ninh Bình FC.
Coach Alexandre Polking’s squad shows superior strength in both ball control and attacking efficiency, while maintaining a solid defense.
Despite competing in the AFC Cup 2, the police team has demonstrated impressive squad depth, remaining unbeaten so far this season (6 wins, 2 draws).
On the other hand, Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh, coached by Nguyễn Công Mạnh, has 15 points and currently stands 6th. This is a positive result given their current capabilities.
However, the challenge is significant as HLHT must play away against a high-performing CAHN side with many experienced stars.
HLHT will likely adopt a defensive counterattack strategy to limit pressure, while CAHN aims for full points to keep chasing Ninh Bình FC. With home advantage, a strong squad, and impressive form, CAHN is favored and fully capable of extending their unbeaten streak.
