SHB Da Nang play at home at 4pm today, 5 September, against Ninh Binh in the final of the National Cup 2013.

SHB DN’s coach Le Huynh Duc and his squad feel confident of winning today’s game because they have never been beaten by Ninh Binh at the Chi Lang Stadium in recent seasons.  The two teams last met on 28 July in a V-League match when SHB DN had a convincing 2-0 home win over then 8^th-positioned Ninh Binh.  Since then, SHB DN have finished the V-League season in second place whilst Ninh Binh were in 10^th.

Striker Merlo is expected to make his mark in today’s match

Ninh Binh will start today’s match with all their key players, including naturalised player Dinh Van Ta and foreign strike duo Peter and Moussa.  Meanwhile, SHB DN will mainly field their domestic players, with their striker Merlo the only foreigner.  

It is hoped that a large home crowd this afternoon will encourage their team as they try to add the National Cup to their collection.
