The confrontation between Hanoi FC and Thanh Hoa is the earliest match of round 5 of LPBank V-League. Both teams are very thirsty for victory because they have not enjoyed the joy of winning after 4 rounds.

On the rankings, Hanoi FC is ranked 11th with 2 points, while Thanh Hoa is second to last after 2 draws. A victory will not only help each team improve their ranking, but also lift their spirits after a bad start in this year's V-League.

In the previous match, Hanoi FC played very hard under new coach Yusuke Adachi. However, missed opportunities and bad luck caused them to share points with The Cong Viettel.

Hanoi FC really need a win right now.

But in this round, things may be different as the Capital team gradually gets used to the new philosophy of the Japanese coach. Importantly, Hanoi FC is rated higher than Thanh Hoa and has home field advantage.

Striker Tuan Hai - who scored in the 1-1 draw against The Cong Viettel, said that recent changes in the board of directors and coaching staff have greatly affected the team. However, he emphasized the determination of the whole team.

“From training to competition, everyone must try their best to bring good results. What is important is how we face and stand up after failure. The tournament is not just 1-2 matches but a long journey,” Tuan Hai said.

On the other side of the front line, Thanh Hoa is even more disappointing. Coach Choi Won Kwon's team is suffering from psychological problems after the team's recent incidents. Que Ngoc Hai and his teammates have only scored 3 goals and conceded 8 goals in 4 matches.

Visiting Hanoi FC's field, Thanh Hoa aims for 1 point, but this is considered a difficult task for them at this time.
