Match preview Nam Định vs PVF-CAND: Venting frustration?

The Steel Blue Nam Định and PVF-CAND both suffered surprising losses in round 2. The defending champions Nam Định were the main story of the round’s biggest upset after losing 1-2 to SLNA. Despite having a stronger squad and scoring first, coach Vu Hong Viet’s team couldn’t maintain control against an explosive opponent, resulting in a disappointing defeat.

Back at Thien Truong Stadium, Nam Định will surely avoid repeating mistakes and likely push forward aggressively to claim victory against a newly promoted team considered weaker before the season. Meanwhile, PVF-CAND, who lost 1-3 to Hai Phong in round 2, will face another tough challenge playing away against a stronger opponent under heavy pressure from the home crowd. Additionally, their key foreign player Mpande is missing due to last round’s red card.
