SHB DN face Binh Duong in cup quarter-finals
SHB Da Nang will play Binh Duong in the quarter-finals of the 2014 National Cup at the Go Dau Stadium on Sunday 8 June at 5.00pm.
Binh Duong have a strong squad with domestic players who are national players and former national players, along with 7 foreigners, including 4 naturalised players.
However, SHB DN's coach Le Huynh Duc and his squad are optimistic about a win because Binh Duong have a very busy fixture schedule at present. Binh Duong are currently in 2nd place in the V-League with 29 points, only 3 points behind leaders Ha Noi T&T. After they meet SHB Da Nang on Sunday, they next have home V-League matches against the other teams in the current top 3- Thanh Hoa on 12 June, and Ha Noi T&T 5 days later. Therefore, their focus might be more on getting results in their league matches as they aim to become the 2014 V-League Champions.
