The Cong vs Ho Chi Minh City Club performance
After 3 consecutive disappointing rounds, losing 1-2 to HAGL, being held to a draw by weaker opponents like Hai Phong and Binh Dinh with the same score of 2-2, The Cong unexpectedly returned. The 2-1 victory right at Hang Day against Hanoi FC helped the army team at least still have a goal to fight for in the final round.
The Cong is currently ranked 4th, 1 point behind CAHN. To maintain hope of finishing in the top 3, the team under coach Velizar Popov needs to defeat Ho Chi Minh City Club. The goal seems quite easy and completely within the reach of the home team. In the last 5 times hosting guests, The Cong has been undefeated, winning 3 and drawing 2.
However, the voice of history makes The Cong need to be more cautious. In the last 3 encounters with the team of the city named after Uncle Ho, the army team did not know the smile of victory, only drawing 2 and losing 1, and all fell into a state of being scoreless.
However, in the current situation, The Cong is still expected to win all 3 points. Because in addition to their improving form, the home team also received positive signals from the opposite field.
A week ago, Ho Chi Minh City FC officially secured a ticket to stay in the league thanks to a 1-0 victory over direct competitor Binh Dinh. The Thong Nhat Stadium team currently holds 28 points, 6 points ahead of the second-to-last team (who must play a relegation play-off).
With no specific goals left to fight for in the final round, Adriano Schmidt and his teammates' trip to the North will be more like a walk to complete the formalities. It is difficult to expect the away team to fight with the highest determination when entering the match.
The recent form of Ho Chi Minh City FC has also been quite erratic. In the last 6 rounds, the away team won 2 but also lost 4. In particular, the most recent trip to the capital saw coach Phung Thanh Phuong and his team suffer a heavy 1-5 defeat against Hanoi FC.
Overall, The Cong promises to enter the match with more fighting motivation. Whether they can take over the 3rd place of CAHN or not, a victory on the farewell day of the season will also become a beautiful ending that Pedro Henrique and his teammates can thank the fans.
