Bắc Ninh vs Ho Chi MinhPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Vietnamese season has only just started, so the useful data comes from earlier matches. Bắc Ninh won their latest outing, a 2-1 friendly against Hung Yen in late August; before that came a 1-1 away at Pho Hien, a 1-3 at home to PVF-CAND, a 4-2 away at Binh Dinh, an 8-0 against Hồ Chí Minh II and a 2-2 away at Sanna Khanh Hoa. Six matches, three wins, two draws and one defeat. Ho Chi Minh, by contrast, arrive on the back of two defeats, a 0-5 in the Super Cup against Công An Nhân Dân and a 1-2 friendly against Binh Duong, both away from home. Before that they won 1-0 away at Dong Thap, again in a friendly, and in cup football they beat Phu Dong 2-1 and Nam Dinh 4-2, all of those played on the road; further back comes a 1-1 away at Ha Noi. The two previous meetings on record are shared: Ho Chi Minh won 3-2 away at Bắc Ninh in March 2026, while in January of the same year it was Bắc Ninh who won 1-0 on the road. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
