2.40Tip and bets
The visitors have gained excellent form in recent matches and are performing much better than last season. The Vietnamese team is not going to lose the first place in the group and will try to make every effort to avoid defeat in the away match with Pathum United. The hosts have often suffered defeats in recent matches, so Thanh Hoa will probably be able to impose a fight on the favorite.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+1) on Thanh Hoa for 1.90
Bet on total
The visitors have conceded only one goal in three recent matches and know how to play effectively in defense. The hosts have not scored much lately, so it is likely that the match between the rivals will not be productive.
Our prediction is under 2.5 goals for 2.08
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.45
