Nam Dinh
VietnamCurrent form
Nam Dinh is the current champion of the Vietnamese league. The team is striving to defend its title and after 13 matches takes the first place in the standings, but is only two points ahead of Thanh Hoa, which has two fewer matches played. In the last round, the club managed to beat FC Hanoi (2:1), winning for the first time in five rounds. At the same time, the team has already been eliminated from the Vietnam Cup, losing in a penalty shootout to Binziong in the 1/8 finals. But they managed to perform confidently in the group stage of the Asian Champions League 2. Nam Dinh was defeated only in the last round, when a place in the playoffs was already secured. Then the Vietnamese were beaten by Bangkok United, who took the first place in the group (2:3).

Sanfrecce Hiroshima
JapanCurrent form
Last season, Hiroshima still failed to win gold medals in the Japanese J-League. The team lost to the more stable Kobe at the finish and took second place. At the same time, the visitors became the most productive team of the championship, scoring 72 goals in 38 matches, 11 more than Kobe. Most recently, they managed to take revenge on the offender by beating him in the match for the Japanese Super Cup with a score of 2:0. In the second Champions League, the team managed to take first place in Group E, ahead of the Australian Sydney FC, the Philippine Kai and the Hong Kong Eastern. The Japanese club did not suffer a single defeat in the group stage, but lost points only in an away match with Kaya (1:1).

2.37Tip and bets
The hosts have recently shown a rather weak game even in their championship, so it is difficult to expect a victory over one of the leaders of Japanese football from a Vietnamese club. Hiroshima is a clear favorite here, and it is unlikely that the guest players will disappoint their fans. The team recently won the Japanese Super Cup and is eager to build on its success. We believe that even on the road, the Japanese team will be able to win.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (-1) for Hiroshima in 1.65
Bet on the total
The guests managed not to miss the match against Kobe, where Hiroshima managed to win the Super Bowl. The hosts haven't been impressive in attack lately, so the Japanese club has every chance of a second dry match in a row. We don't think we should expect a lot of goals in this match.
Our forecast is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 2.25 minutes.
Betting on corners
Hiroshima is highly likely to dictate the rules of the game in the upcoming meeting and will be able to win the match not only by score, but also by other additional indicators, which include serves from the corner flag.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (-2.5) for Hiroshima in 1.90
