Hai Phong vs Hoang Ahn Gia Lai Prediction: Which Team Qualifies To Break The Ice?

As the V-League picks off a new season, Hai Phong locks horns with Hoang Ahn Gia Lai at the Lach Tray Stadium in hopes of edging taking the three points available to the winner. This game is expected to break the ice between these teams who have a rather sour history of brutal competition. Five recent meetings between the sides resulted in three (3) wins for Hai Phong, one stalemate and one win for Hoang Ahn Gia Lai. The hosts have shown more resilience in recent times, but the visitors are sure to put up a decent fight. What would the V-League opener be like?

Last Five Matches: L-W-L-L-D

Hai Phong opens the season off the black of a tumultuous run of form, facing Korean Siude Incheon United to a difficult 3-1 defeat. They faced familiar side Binh Dinh in the recent Thien Trong Tournament and faced a 2-1 defeat, before picking up the shards against PSM Makassar in the 30 retaliation. Last season, they came up in second place and would be willing to right their wrongs this time, to the delight of the hosting onlookers.

Recent Form: L-L-L-L-L

The visitors finished off the previous season in sixth place, managing thirty-two points from twenty-four games. Their attacking form last season was slightly better than their defence, evident in the twenty-six goals scored against all opponents and twenty-four goals conceded. Recently featuring excruciatingly poor performances in the domestic Thien Truong Tournament, the team’s morale is questionable ahead of the opening game against second-placed Hai Phong, who were close to archiving the silverware last season.

In the last five encounters between these sides, there have been at least two goals in all meetings. Hai Phong has netted in four of five clashes between the sides, with the minimum performance in these games being a goal. In two of five of these recent games, there have been cases of Both Teams Scoring.

Hoang Ahn has only won once, in a 2-0 encounter and taken a share of the spoils once, in a differing 1-1 occasion.

Hoang Ahn Gia Lai is expected to open the scoring and pull through before the end of full-time. The match is predicted to end violently because the two sides would tear at each other.

• However, the preference would be to Bet on the Match to end with a BTTS - NO at Betway’s odds of 1.82.
• An Under 2.5 Match Goal seems exciting for 1.81 odds (1xBet).
• There is no grey area in games like this - Hoang Ahn would play their best, but the preference is heavy on Hai Phong to progress. We’d urge a Bet on a Hai Phong victory for 1.72 odds from Bet365

Good luck!
