CAHN vs BG Pathum United: Relaxed Mindset

CAHN is in Group A of the Southeast Asian Club Cup 2025/2026 together with Buriram United, BG Pathum United, Selangor, Tampines Rovers, and Dynamic Herb Cebu. Since there are two Thai teams in the group—Buriram United and BG Pathum United—CAHN will need to perform well in every match to avoid an early exit from the group stage.

Right from the opener, CAHN faces a tough challenge as they travel to BG Pathum United. BG Pathum features several top Thai national team players such as Chanathip, Ekanit Panya, Sarach Yooyen, Patrik Gustavson, and more—names well-known to Vietnamese football fans.

Meanwhile, CAHN also boasts a strong lineup of national team players including Filip Nguyễn, Bùi Hoàng Việt Anh, Lý Đức, Quang Hải, Văn Thanh, Pendant Quang Vinh, Đình Bắc, and others. This match can be considered a miniature showdown between the Vietnamese and Thai national teams.

However, at the club level, foreign players often play a decisive role. CAHN can be confident with their attacking duo Alan and Leo Artur. The Brazilian strikers are in excellent form and could change the course of the match with just a single moment of brilliance.

CAHN must aim to secure points, ideally a win, to keep their hopes of advancing alive. Only the top two teams from each group in the Southeast Asian Club Cup 2025/2026 will reach the semifinals. Therefore, CAHN cannot afford any slip-ups against direct rivals like BG Pathum United or Buriram United.

Predicted Lineups for CAHN vs BG Pathum United:

• CAHN: Filip Nguyễn; Việt Anh, Đình Trọng, Tuấn Dương, Văn Thanh; Mauk, Thành Long, Quang Hải; Văn Đức, Alan, Artur.

• BG Pathum United: Chatchai; Irfan, Jakkapan, Teerawut, Pathompon; Chanathip, Sarach, Worachit; Sergeev, Danilo, Pathomphon.
