Becamex TP HCM vs PVF CAND: Unpredictable Matchup

Round 13 of V.League 1 will be the last round before the Lunar New Year break, and the clash between Becamex TP.HCM and PVF-CAND draws attention as both teams are desperate for points. At Binh Duong stadium, the home side aims to capitalize on their advantage to improve their standing, while the rookie PVF-CAND must fight to escape the relegation zone as the first half of the season nears its end.

For Becamex TP.HCM, the debut of coach Ueno Nobuhiro in the previous round brought some stability but did not inspire much confidence. The goalless draw at Ha Tinh revealed the team’s lack of cohesion after a long break, and without goalkeeper Minh Toan’s outstanding performance, they might have lost. However, returning home against a lower-ranked opponent, the Japanese coach is likely to adopt a more proactive approach.

On the other hand, PVF-CAND remains trapped in a dark period. Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong’s team has gone 11 consecutive matches without a win since their opening day victory. Their narrow loss to CAHN last week further exposed organizational and teamwork issues. Currently near the bottom of the table, their most realistic goal is to secure every possible point.

Before this away match, PVF-CAND strengthened their squad by adding foreign center-back Lucas Turci and Scottish midfielder David Reynolds, along with the return of U23 players like Thanh Nhan, Anh Quan, and Xuan Bac. Meanwhile, Becamex TP.HCM also made changes by registering striker Sam Bruce to replace Ismaila and adding Huynh The Hieu and Mac Hong Quan. Most notably, Ho Tan Tai returns after more than a year of injury recovery, raising hopes for the home team on a day when they need a boost.
