Regarding the opponent PKR Svay Rieng, they are a tough team to handle with many quality foreign players, especially two forwards currently in great form. Nevertheless, Thép Xanh Nam Định aims to secure 3 points in their opening match at the ASEAN Club Championship.

Central defender Lucas Alves, wearing jersey number 4, stated: "We didn’t have much time to prepare due to a packed schedule. However, the team has carefully analyzed PKR Svay Rieng. The entire squad values unity and strictly follows the tactics laid out by the coaching staff.

Winning is the ultimate goal, and the team’s philosophy prioritizes offense. The defense must stay highly concentrated, keeping a clean sheet is emphasized, but the top priority remains achieving victory."

The match between Thép Xanh Nam Định and PKR Svay Rieng will kick off at 7:30 PM on September 25 at Thiên Trường Stadium, Nam Định.

Thép Xanh Nam Định’s form in the V.League has been unstable. In their most recent game, they drew 0-0 against the newcomer Ninh Bình on the opponent’s ground. After 5 matches in the V.League, Coach Vũ Hồng Việt’s team has 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses, earning 7 points and ranking 7th on the table.
