(Live V-League) - Hải Phòng, playing on their home ground, will continue to seek an additional win over SLNA.
The encounter between Hải Phòng and Sông Lam Nghệ An in round 3 of the V-League 2025/26 is expected to be very exciting. SLNA recently made a statement by defeating the reigning champions Nam Định, boosting their confidence ahead of the away match at Lạch Tray. However, the young team led by coach Phan Như Thuật often shows weaknesses when playing away due to lack of experience and composure in big matches.
Nevertheless, the head-to-head record gives SLNA a psychological edge. In the last 5 meetings with Hải Phòng, the Nghệ An side remained unbeaten (1 win, 4 draws), a record that adds to their confidence. Meanwhile, Hải Phòng, energized by their win against PVF-CAND, will surely make full use of their home advantage. The passionate support from Lạch Tray fans has long been a powerful source of motivation for coach Chu Đình Nghiêm’s squad.
Overall, the match is likely to be intense and balanced, but Hải Phòng is slightly favored thanks to home advantage and rising momentum. SLNA will need to put in great effort if they want to leave Lạch Tray with points.
