Comments before the match Dong A Thanh Hoa vs Ho Chi Minh City Club

Dong A Thanh Hoa caused a surprise when they defeated The Cong Viettel in round 19, thereby ending a streak of no wins that had lasted since the beginning of 2025. However, that excitement did not help coach Tomislav Steinbrucker and his team have a positive result against the bottom team Da Nang in round 20. The 0-1 loss at Tam Ky Stadium made their 5th place uncertain. Although CAHN ranked 6th with 29 points, 1 less than Thanh Hoa, they played one less match. In round 21, if the Thanh team does not have 3 more points, CAHN can completely surpass them if they defeat Quang Nam in the late match on Monday.

Returning to home ground, coach Steinbrucker's team has a basis to think about victory. Especially when Ho Chi Minh City Club is in a period of losing form. Coach Phung Thanh Phuong's students have just extended their winless streak to 5 after losing to Ha Tinh. That was also the match where they continued to show their limitations in scoring. In the last 7 matches, Ho Chi Minh City Club has only scored 5 goals, and never more than 1 goal per match. In V.League 2024/25, coach Phung Thanh Phuong's team has 15 goals, only 3 more than other teams, and has conceded 24 goals, the 6th most in the tournament.

Therefore, on a day of receiving the support of home fans and the motivation to win, Thanh Hoa can completely win all 3 points.
