Comments on the match SLNA vs CAHN, 6:00 p.m. October 18: Will changing the general change the fate?

VHO - Commentary on the match SLNA vs CAHN, round 7 V.League, despite the presence of new coach Van Sy Son on the coaching bench, the home team will not easily gain points against the very strong guests.

SLNA vs CAHN performance

Nghe An football for many years has always revolved around the story of bread and butter.

Financial difficulties forced the team to tighten its belt and even failed to retain its outstanding players, who were products of the famous training academy along the Lam River.

But the spirit of Nghe An is still there. Despite facing adversity, SLNA still overcame many challenges to reach safe harbor, continuing to maintain its presence in the most prestigious playground of the S-shaped strip of land.

In V.League 2025/26, the scenario will not change much, at least until after round 6.

SLNA is still only hovering around the area competing for a ticket to stay in the league. With 5 points in hand, the Nghe An team is only ranked 10th, 2 points more than the 2 teams holding the red light.

The record of not winning 3 consecutive matches, from round 3 to round 5, made coach Phan Nhu Thuat decide to leave the hot seat.

As has become tradition, the Vinh team quickly found a replacement, still a homegrown player. Former center back Nguyen Huy Hoang was assigned the task.

However, the achievement of holding host HAGL to a draw in round 6 still could not help coach Huy Hoang build trust with the leadership.

So during FIFA Days last October, the club's leaders decided to appoint another former player who also played for the team, Van Sy Son.

The 1972-born strategist's rich experience in coaching, having held the positions of assistant and head coach in the First Division and V.League, is expected to help SLNA achieve better results, thereby escaping further from the danger zone.

The reception of championship candidate CAHN will be a challenging test for the captain who led Quang Nam last season. Because compared to the opponent on the opposite side, the home team only has the advantage of the home field.

The away team is in high spirits. In their last 7 appearances in all competitions, the team under the direction of coach Mano Polking has been unbeaten, winning 6 of them.

Also at Vinh Stadium 4 months ago in the 2024/25 National Cup final, CAHN defeated the home team 5-0 to win the championship.

The difference in personnel quality between the two sides is too obvious. To defeat the star team from the capital is certainly not easy.

It should be known that in the last 6 encounters between the two sides, the away team has never lost, winning 4 times.

In addition, away matches are not too much of a problem for Quang Hai and his teammates.

In the last 13 away matches, CAHN has only lost 1 (regretfully lost on BG Pathum field), drawn 2 and won 10.

If only counting domestic arena, the police team won all 10 recent away matches.
