Match Preview: Binh Dinh vs Cong An Ha Noi – June 3, 2025
As the V.League 1 heads into its 20th round, all eyes turn to Quy Nhon, where Binh Dinh will host Cong An Ha Noi in a pivotal encounter. The stakes are high for both sides, albeit for contrasting reasons: Binh Dinh is fighting to escape relegation while Cong An Ha Noi is striving to maintain momentum in their chase for top-table consistency.
Form and Context
Binh Dinh, once hailed as one of Vietnam’s rising clubs, has seen its fortunes fade in the 2024/2025 season. After a stellar previous campaign that earned them a historic runner-up finish, this year has been riddled with inconsistency. The team has struggled to find form, going winless for much of the season before salvaging a few points in May with a rare win against Hoang Anh and back-to-back draws against Viettel and Thanh Hoa.
On the other hand, Cong An Ha Noi has enjoyed relative stability. Aside from a hiccup in the Hanoi derby, where they suffered a 0-2 defeat, the club has displayed strong performances both domestically and in international fixtures like the ASEAN Championship. Most recently, they dispatched Binh Duong 3-1 on the road, showing they are still a force to be reckoned with.
Statistical Breakdown
The difference in both sides’ offensive and defensive records tells a clear story. Binh Dinh has struggled in attack, averaging only 0.83 goals per game while conceding 1.43. Cong An Ha Noi presents a more balanced profile, scoring an average of 1.48 and conceding just 0.91 goals per match.
Recent form trends also favor the visitors. Binh Dinh is unbeaten in their last three games, but their defense remains a concern, having failed to keep a clean sheet in seven consecutive matches. Cong An Ha Noi, although not flawless, has secured two wins in its last seven outings and boasts a higher goal-scoring rate.
Head-to-Head and Probable Line-ups
These two sides split victories last season, each defending their home turf. With the current dynamics, Cong An Ha Noi appears better positioned to break that pattern.
Probable XI:
Binh Dinh: Huyinh; Hang, Trien, Duong, Minh; Phan, Hong; Rivas Gonzalez, Salazar Cuesta, Huy, Chuong
Cong An Ha Noi: Nguyen; Grafite, Tinh, Ugo Gomes, Leo Arthur; Long, Do, Anh, Hai; Pendan, Chong
Prediction and Betting Insight
Given Cong An Ha Noi’s recent uptick in form and Binh Dinh’s continued defensive woes, the visitors are expected to come away with all three points. Backing a win for the capital club seems like a calculated wager, especially at favorable odds of 1.8.
Final Prediction: Cong An Ha Noi 2 – 0 Binh Dinh
