After their disappointing 2-2 home draw against Quang Ninh last Saturday, SHB Da Nang will next play at home to Song Lam Nghe An at 4.30pm today, Friday 21 February.

SHB DN’s coach Le Huynh Duc and his squad feel confident ahead of the match as they welcome back their top striker Gaston Merlo after injury.  The team will start the match with their strongest possible squad, except for injured Nguyen Sa who has been ruled out for the rest of the season.

Today’s opponents, SLNA, have suffered heavy losses recently to Thanh Hoa and Hoang Anh Gia Lai, and this match is seen as a good opportunity for SHB DN to produce a breathtaking performance.
