SHB Da Nang will play at home to bottom-of-the-table Dong Nai at 5.00pm on Sunday 19 July.  For both teams this a crucial game because SHB are determined to end a losing run of 3 consecutive matches whilst Dong Nai want to move off the bottom of the table.

Although SHB DN lie currently 4 places above Dong Nai in the league, they have not scored any goals in their last 3 games.  In contrast, Dong Nai’s players have scored 3 goals and gained one point.

In addition, SHB DN could face difficulties due to the decrease in the physical strength of the players and their mental stress.  The team’s 2 newly-recruited foreign strikers, Cuban Pérez Rousseaux and Jamaican Fraser, have yet to meet the expectations of the coaching board.

The visitors are expected to field their key stars, including domestic midfielder Hong Viet, naturalised midfielder Nguyen Hang Tcheuko Minh, strikers Hai Anh and Kisekka Henry, and their Cameroonian striker Christian José Nsi Amougou who has scored 7 goals in league matches.
