Pre-match review

Nam Dinh's hope of defending the V.League title is gradually becoming more distant. After 7 rounds, the team from the South has declined significantly, winning only 2 matches, drawing 1 and losing 4. The most disappointing was the 1-2 loss at Thien Truong Stadium against Becamex TP.HCM - the opponent at the bottom of the table. This result caused Nam Dinh to fall to 9th place, 10 points behind the leader Ninh Binh .

Despite possessing the most expensive force in the tournament, Nam Dinh's domestic squad lacks stability, especially when Xuan Son and Van Toan suffered long-term injuries. Meanwhile, the foreign players are mainly used for continental competitions. Thanks to that, Nam Dinh won all 3 matches in AFC Champions League Two and Southeast Asian Cup C1.

In the near future, coach Vu Hong Viet and his team will face Gamba Osaka - the strongest opponent in Group F. The Japanese team is also unstable in J.League but is still very dangerous when playing at home at Suita City. This promises to be a stormy trip for Nam Dinh.
