After 5 matches, HAGL is one of two teams in LPBank V-League (along with Thanh Hoa) that has yet to taste victory. With only 3 points, the team from the mountain town is in the second-to-last position on the rankings.

In fact, there was a time when HAGL was very close to a victory, but they missed a very regrettable opportunity. That was the reception of SLNA in the previous round, when the match was about to end, HAGL was awarded a penalty but the foreign player kicked the ball into the sky, causing the home team to only have 1 point (1-1 draw).

HAGL still has not won in V-League this year.

After the departure of key players Minh Vuong, Ngoc Quang..., HAGL faced many difficulties. They are one of the teams that scored the fewest goals in V-League (1 goal after 5 matches).

Coach Le Quang Trai ’s team seems to only know how to cling to the defense, where they have goalkeeper Trung Kien playing better and better. However, to successfully stay in the league, it is clear that the team from the mountain town cannot use defense to compensate for offense, but needs to have victories to improve their position and boost the fighting spirit of the players.

In this round, HAGL will play away at Hai Phong - the team currently ranked 5th on the rankings. The match is considered difficult for the away team, but if they play their best, they can still do "something", at least 1 point.

The remaining two matches on October 19 are the confrontations between PVF-CAND vs Thanh Hoa and CA TP.HCM vs Ha Tinh . Both home teams are predicted to win against weak opponents.
