Before the Tet holiday break, CA TP. HCM disappointed with an unexpected defeat against Thanh Hoa in round 13. That loss was clearly a shock for coach Le Huynh Duc and his team, fueling their high determination upon return in round 14. Welcoming Becamex TP. HCM is not only a chance to regain face but also holds significance for gaining momentum at the start of the new year.
On the other side, Becamex TP. HCM is not in a better mood. The Thu Duc team lost 1-2 at home to PVF-CAND and fell to 11th place with 12 points, continuing to struggle in the relegation battle. Therefore, they also aim to get points, even a victory, to improve their situation.
After the merger, this clash is seen as a city derby between two teams. CA TP. HCM holds the home advantage and a reinforced squad for the second phase, giving them a slight edge in the race for 3 points. However, with the determination to escape the bottom of the table, Becamex TP. HCM promises to pose significant challenges for the home team.
