After their 2-0 away loss to Hai Phong last weekend, SHB Da Nang will next play at Quang Nam on Saturday at 4.30pm.

QNK Quang Nam have made reasonable progress during recent V-League seasons.  Last season against SHB DN they suffered a 0-3 home defeat and then played out a goalless draw in the second-leg match in Da Nang.  Earlier this season the teams met in Da Nang and the result was a 1-1 draw.  They currently lie in 10^th place in the league with 20 points, only one place behind SHB DN who are on 25 points.

In tomorrow’s game, QNK Quang Nam are expected to field their key stars including goalkeeper Xuan Nam, naturalised player Hoang Vissai, midfielder Dinh Thanh Trung, and the foreign strike duo of Patiyo and Suleiman who have scored 17 of the team’s 31 goals.

SHB DN could face difficulties due to their 2 newly-recruited foreign strikers, Cuban Pérez Rousseaux and Jamaican Fraser, not yet fulfilling the expectations of the coaching board.  It is hoped that recent adjustments to the team's defensive and counter-attack tactics will help the foreign strike duo show their professional skills and produce the perfect combination.
