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.
