Noteworthy information before the Viettel vs Bac Ninh match

Finally, the highlight of the National Cup quarter-finals will be the clash at Hang Day Stadium between Viettel – currently ranked second in V.League 1 – and Bac Ninh FC, a representative aspiring to compete for the runner-up position in the First Division this season. This is considered a highly competitive matchup as both teams possess stable form and high determination.

After an unexpected stumble with a 1-4 loss to SLNA, Coach Popov's squad quickly regained balance. Viettel demonstrated strong resilience with a streak of 4 consecutive victories in V.League, thereby consolidating their position in the leading group. The timely improvement in form gives the military-themed team added confidence as they embark on their National Cup journey.

On the other side, Bac Ninh FC, despite being a newcomer to the First Division, is presenting a very positive image. This team previously had a streak of 5 consecutive wins before losing to TP.HCM, thereby somewhat affirming their competitive capability. In the National Cup, they have successively overcome same-tier opponents like Van Hien University and Khatoco Khanh Hoa to participate in this round.

However, the challenge for Bac Ninh FC in the upcoming match will be much more difficult. Viettel, despite using only one foreign player, possesses a quality domestic force with many national team and U23 players. Therefore, the military-themed team is still rated higher and has many opportunities to secure a spot in the semi-finals.

Expected lineup for Viettel vs Bac Ninh

• Viettel:Van Viet, Kyle Colona, Van Nam, Viet Tu, Tuan Tai, Hoang Minh, Nhat Nam, Van Khang, Lucao, Hu Thang, Manh Dung
• Bac Ninh:Tuan Linh, Van Ha, Van Hieu, Ngoc Thang, The Hung, Hong Quan, Eddie Tran, Thanh Khoi, Xuan Quyet, Trong Son, Bruno
