Key information before the HAGL vs Viettel match

At Pleiku stadium, Hoàng Anh Gia Lai (3 points) – currently at the bottom of the table – faces a genuine title contender, Thể Công Viettel (15 points). Without their top stars, HAGL is almost just a name now, showing a clear decline since the first match and still unable to secure a win after 7 rounds (3 draws, 4 losses).

Even more concerning is that the "mountain town team" has scored only 1 goal in 7 matches – the lowest in the league. Meanwhile, TCVT has shown very consistent form with a 7-match unbeaten streak (4 wins, 3 draws), boasting not only a strong attack (12 goals scored) but also the league’s best defense (only 4 goals conceded).

In the three away matches so far, excluding draws against Hanoi FC and CAHN at Hàng Đẫy Stadium, TCVT drew 1-1 in a game where they actually played better than the home side Ninh Bình FC. Therefore, facing an HAGL no longer at their best, Coach Popov’s players will definitely aim for their first away win of the season.

Expected lineups for HAGL vs Viettel:

• HAGL: Trung Kiên, A Sân, Jairo, Văn Triệu, Du Học, Thanh Sơn, Vĩnh Nguyên, Đình Lâm, Thanh Nhân, Marciel, Fraga

• Viettel: Văn Việt, Kyle, Viết Tú, Tiến Anh, Văn Tú, Tuấn Tài, Hữu Thắng, Nhật Nam, Wesley, Lucas, Pedro
