Phu Dong vs Thanh HoaPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Vietnamese season has only just restarted, so the table says nothing useful yet and the recent results carry the weight. Phu Dong arrive with four wins, one draw and a single defeat from their last six matches: 3-0 against Hồng Lĩnh Hà Tĩnh and 2-1 away at Song Lam Nghe An in the league, 4-1 against Viettel in the cup, then the 1-2 loss to Ho Chi Minh in the most recent outing. Thanh Hóa closed the same stretch with three goals scored and ten conceded: 0-4 at Da Nang, 0-2 at home to Phu Dong, 1-1 with Hoang Anh Gia Lai and 0-2 away at Công An Nhân Dân, with their only win, 1-0 over Ha Noi, in the middle and a 1-1 away at Binh Duong closing the run. The head to head record splits into two blocks. Phu Dong took the two most recent meetings, 2-0 at Thanh Hóa last 31 May and 4-0 at home in August 2025, while in 2024 and 2023 it was Thanh Hóa who won, 3-0 and 1-0, both on their own ground. 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.
