Pre-match comments Hanoi FC vs Ninh Binh FC

Like recent seasons, Hanoi FC had an unstable start and soon had to “change generals”. This time, they continued to show their ambition to return to the top by appointing Australian legend Harry Kewell to the hot seat.

Harry Kewell will have a promising debut full of difficulties when Hanoi FC welcomes the phenomenon Ninh Binh FC at Hang Day Stadium. While the home team is mired in an early crisis, Ninh Binh FC sits comfortably at the top of the table with an unbeaten record (4 wins, 2 draws).

According to experts, Hanoi FC is still a team with good force, with domestic players including many national players. However, their foreign players rarely meet the requirements.

In today's match, Hanoi FC will have an important addition named Do Hoang Hen. The Hang Day team accepted not to use Hendrio as a foreign player for the first 6 rounds to wait for him to be naturalized, and now is the time they hope to be rewarded. Hendrio is currently Do Hoang Hen, will play as a naturalized player and will certainly enhance the offensive strength of Hanoi FC.

In previous seasons, Hendrio was one of the best foreign players in V-League. In 5 seasons, he scored 29 goals, assisted 31 goals and made many special marks. This attacking midfielder also contributed greatly to the 2024 championship of Nam Dinh Steel Blue.

Before this round, Ninh Binh FC had drawn two consecutive matches against Hai Phong and The Cong Viettel. This was not a bad result for them, because Hai Phong and The Cong Viettel are both veteran names and have strong strength in the V-League. However, Ninh Binh FC needs to quickly return to winning streak if they want to compete for the championship this season.

Visiting Hanoi FC is a great opportunity for Ninh Binh FC to prove their true ability and ambition. Coach Gerard Albadalejo clearly has a lot of work to do as his team often has contrasting performances in the same match. Against The Cong Viettel, Ninh Binh FC even took the lead and had an early advantage, but was still held to a 1-1 draw by their opponents and wasted points regrettably.

Ninh Binh FC's inconsistency is something that Hanoi FC needs to take note of and exploit. Coach Harry Kewell said he has carefully studied the video of Ninh Binh FC's early season matches and is confident of bringing joy to Hanoi FC on their debut day.
