After playing out a goalless home draw against Binh Duong last Friday, SHB Da Nang will face a tough task in Can Tho this afternoon. This match is considered as a test for the seaside city’s football team as they look for a win to improve their position on the ranking table.

The 5pm kick off will be a very tough game for the visitors because Can Tho have had impressive results in their recent matches so far, with 3 victories and 4 draws.

Can Tho currently lie fifth in the table. The home team have many skilled players, including striker Nguyen Tang Tuan, midfielder Vo Ut Cuong, and goalkeeper To Vinh Loi. Most notably, their strike duo of Patiyo Tambwe and Wander Luiz Queiroz Dias together produce their perfect combination. Each of them showed their own professional skills, and scored 5 goals in a total of 9 league matches this year.

In contrast, SHB DN have a marked shortage of right and left defenders who possess the best dribbling skills and excellent speed. Therefore, they have only focused on strengthening their attacks from midfield instead of their long passes.

It is hoped that SHB’s coach Nguyen Minh Phuong will implement suitable adjustments to his team’s defensive and counter-attack tactics in order to produce the amazing performance.

After today’s match, SHB DN will next meet Song Lam Nghe An at home on 3 June.
