Than Quang Ninh vs The Cong
Competition in the top flight of the Vietnam League is getting tougher ahead of match day 16. In that match, Than Quang Ninh tried to reach maximum points when visited by Viettel on Wednesday (17/7) at Cua Ong Stadium.
They just hosted Hoang Anh Gia Lai on Saturday (13/7) and managed to lead 3-0 thanks to brace Rod Dyacehenko. With that result, they were in the top 3 with a point difference from Thanh Hoa below. Viettel himself had to drop to 7th place after swallowing a score of 2-0 at Nam Dinh’s headquarters. In fact, they had plenty of time to equalize before the hosts locked victory in the 95th minute through the action of Mai Xuan Quyet.
That score made them increasingly pessimistic because they now suffer 5 defeats in away matches and have only won 2 times. In fact, Than Quang Ninh recorded only losing once as the host, while the remaining 5 managed to win and 1 draw.
Viettel also failed to maximize the chance last May when playing as host, and closed the match with a score of 3-3 against Than Quang Ninh. Tomorrow will be the first visit to Cua Ong, and with such a bad away record, it looks like they must be prepared to face the worst scenario.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
