Match between Khanh Hoa FC and Song Lam Nghe An last season |
In the 6 recent competitions between the two teams, Khanh Hoa FC won twice, drew 3 times and lost 1 time. Khanh Hoa FC had 1 win and 1 draw at home against Song Lam Nghe An last season, which was a good result considering the rich tradition and quality training system of Song Lam Nghe An. Although it’s now too soon to assess the coaching quality of Khanh Hoa FC’s new coaching board, the 2-1 win against Hanoi Police last round had a great meaning for Khanh Hoa FC, helping the players, coaches and supporters relieve pressure, lift their spirits and confidence.
After the win against Hanoi Police last round, Khanh Hoa FC were awarded VND500 million (including VND300 million from the province and VND200 million from Khanh Hoa State-owned Salangane Nest One Member Company Limited). This is a great and practical source of motivation for the players.
Meanwhile, Song Lam Nghe An are facing many difficulties, especially in defense. In round 7, Song Lam Nghe An lost to Ho Chi Minh City after their defender scored an own goal in the last minute of extra time.
