CAHN vs Thanh Hoa Prediction: Goals Would Be Recorded Enmasse

Of the many games played in the historic Hang Day Stadium this week, we bring the clash between Cong Anh Hanoi and Thanh Hoa. Although victory evaded both sides last week, as the hosts settled for spoils while the guests fell to defeat, there is a tendency for either side to return to winning ways. The early stage of the season always proves rocky, but with the way the league is poised, these two sides would battle from start to finish, leaving nothing to chance.

Recent Form: D

Formation: 4-2-3-1

The first league game of the season against Hai Phong ended in a 1-1 stalemate, a game considered won from the 29th minute till the last minute – when the visitors equalised.

With this game being their first home league game this season, the team is expected to prevail against the intimidating stance of the visitors and clinch victory.

Alan Grafite and Phan Van Duc are two players worth considering. They registered goals against Thai League giants Buriram United in the recently played ASEAN Club Championship.

Recent Form: L

Formation: 4-3-1-2

A 2-1 defeat welcomed Thanh Hoa in their first league fixture against Becamex Binh Duong despite holding the early lead throughout the first half. Luiz Antonio was expected to repeat the first half’s display in the second half, but the team fell to fatigue and exhaustion, rendering them incapable of settling for a stalemate.

As they prepare for their game against TF in the ASEAN Club Championships, it is hoped all their lapses in the opening game get fixed and their flanks are consolidated against quick counterattacks that ruined their hopes in the opening game.

Romario Gordon is expected to begin the game alongside Luiz Antonio, with Van Thang Le completing their three-pronged attack.

The last five meetings between the sides ended in three wins for CAHN, one stalemate and one defeat for Thanh Hoa. While four games produced a BTTS, three games resulted in over three goals.

The onus for victory in this clash is on the hists, who have kept a decent run on their home turf, save the defeat against Viettel in May. Our best picks are:

• O 2.5 at 1.80 odds from Bet365.
• A BTTS at 1.76 odds from Betway.
• A home win at 2.16 odds from 1xbet.
