Local derby match on Sunday
After their 2-0 home win over Hai Phong last weekend, SHB Da Nang next play QNK Quang Nam at 4.30pm on Sunday (8 February), again at home.
QNK Quang Nam have made a reasonable start to this year’s V-League season with 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses. They currently lie in 11th place, one place ahead of SHB DN.
In Sunday's game, QNK Quang Nam will be without their midfield duo of Hoang Vissai and Ngoc Nguyen, both on suspension. SHB DN have striker Melquiades Gomez and midfielder Phuoc Vinh similarly out on suspension, and could therefore face difficulties. Midfielder Phong Quang Trung, who will come in as the replacement for Phuoc Vinh, has yet to meet the expectations of the coaching board.

Although coach Le Huynh Duc has returned to work after a family funeral last weekend, assistant coach Dao Quang Hung will still lead SHB DN into this game in the hope that the team will continue with the luck that brought them their first win last Sunday.
