Comments on the match Beijing Guoan vs CAHN, 7:15 p.m. September 18: Take points from Beijing

VHO - Commenting on the match Beijing Guoan vs CAHN, group E of the C2 Asian Cup, facing many difficulties and challenges, Nguyen Filip and his teammates are still confident that they will bring home points.

Beijing Guoan vs CAHN form

Thanks to the National Cup championship last season, CAHN won their first ticket to AFC Champions League 2 (Asian Cup C2). Because they were only ranked in the 4th seed group, the police team fell into a more difficult group than the other representative of V.League, Nam Dinh .

In Group E, CAHN will have to face Beijing Guoan (China), Macarthur (Australia) and Tai Po (Hong Kong - China). In theory, the top Vietnamese team will not be rated as highly as opponents from more developed football backgrounds such as China or Australia.

However, the quality and depth of the current squad is still enough to help CAHN confidently create a surprise in this group. It will not be too surprising if the team under the direction of coach Mano Polking finishes in the top 2 to thereby win a ticket to the round of 16.

But to realize their ambition to advance step by step, CAHN needs to show their steadfastness right from the opening match. Having to travel to Beijing brings many challenges for Leo Artur and his teammates. Especially when the away team lacks star captain Quang Hai.

In addition, the ability of main striker Alan Grafite to play is also unclear. The Brazilian player has not yet fully recovered from a calf injury. Without Alan's service, it will certainly be another huge loss for CAHN because since the beginning of the season, this striker has contributed 7 goals in all competitions.

Despite some difficult information about personnel, Polking and his team are still very confident. In the last 3 rounds of V.League, the home team Hang Day has won all. The lesson from the regrettable loss to BG Pathum has certainly been learned and CAHN promises to maintain high concentration on the goal of gaining points.

The opportunity for the away team is completely justified because Beijing Guoan's current form is showing signs of decline. In the last two rounds of the Chinese National Championship, the home team at the Workers' Stadium were empty-handed, not scoring any goals and conceding 8 goals.

However, those were away matches for Beijing Guoan. When returning home, the team under coach Quique Setien is always very strong. In the last 20 times hosting guests in all competitions, the home team won 14, drew 4 and lost only 2.

On the rankings after 24 rounds, Beijing Guoan is ranked 4th, 5 points behind the top position held by Chengdu Rongcheng. The home team's fast, powerful pressing style of play, relying on a squad of players with ideal physique, will become a significant challenge for CAHN.
