Ho Chi Minch vs Da Nang
Last week’s victory halted the Ho Chi Minch City crisis, while helping them rise to the top of the table. They tried to stay there when visited by Da Nang in the middle of the week. They met on match day 16 which was held on Wednesday (7/17) at Thong Nhat Stadium. Friday (12/7) Ho Chi Minh City appeared there facing Becamex Binh Duong and managed to win 2-0 with Ismahil Akinade’s quick goal and Ho Tan Tai’s own goal on 89 minutes. This was the first post-barren victory in 3 previous match.
Da Nang himself must be satisfied with the position 1-1 when visited by Hai Phong on the same day. Of course the result felt disappointing because it was accepted as the host, while making them never win for 3 consecutive parties. Da Nang was urged to get up immediately because he had dropped to number 6 by a difference of just three points from 11th place. It would not be easy to steal numbers at Thong Nhat because the hosts had never lost this season with 5 wins and 2 draws. In fact, Da Nang himself has never won in an away match with 3 draws and 4 defeats. They also never won for the last three visits there, each with a score of 3-2, 1-1 and 4-2.
Our Prediction: 1
