Sanvinest Khanh Hoa had a regrettable loss to Thai Son Bac in their season opener. Playing at home, Sanvinest Khanh Hoa displayed active play and good performance with many scoring opportunities created. However, their attackers namely K'Goi, Khac Chi, Pi Nang Thai An, Minh Tuan, etc. couldn’t finish accurately. 

Sanvinest Khanh Hoa set a target of securing their first points of the season in the upcoming match with Sahako. However, as said by experts, it is not easy for the hosts to win against Sahako. The line-up of Sanvinest Khanh Hoa almost remains unchanged compared to the previous seasons. Some of their young players are making progress, mitigating the void left by the aging of some key players. The attacking power of Sanvinest Khanh Hoa in the match with Sahako will somewhat decrease due to the absence of K’Goi, who has recently joined the army.

Sahako also had a bad start with a 0-5 loss to Thai Son Nam in the opening match of the season. The outcome of this match was remarkably unexpected as both teams are equally skilled and well-acquainted with each other's playing style. This heavy defeat made Sahako, the national champions of the 2022 season and runners-up of the 2023 season, to drop from a favorite for the 2024 championship to the penultimate position on the rankings (7th place out of 8 teams). With a line-up with many excellent players, Sahako aim for a win against Sanvinest Khanh Hoa to assert their position in Vietnam’s futsal playground.

Sahako have always been tough opponents for Sanvinest Khanh Hoa. The team of Khanh Hoa suffered 2 losses in both matches with Sahako in the 2023 season. Therefore, a draw in the upcoming match is considered as success for Sanvinest Khanh Hoa.
