Starting lineup for both teams
Performance of CA TP.HCM is showing signs of improvement as they recently secured an important victory against PVF-CAND at Thong Nhat Stadium. This result has helped coach Le Huynh Duc's team climb to 5th place in the V.League standings with 26 points, providing a significant morale boost ahead of the quarter-finals of the National Cup 2025/26 against Dong Nai. Playing at home, CA TP.HCM undoubtedly aims to secure a spot in the semi-finals, even targeting the final, as they are only two matches away from that goal.
However, Dong Nai is not an opponent to be easily subdued. The representative from the First Division is displaying impressive form and harbors ambitions to create a surprise, as it has been a long time since any First Division team advanced deep in the National Cup. The visiting team has a certain confidence due to frequent encounters with CA TP.HCM in previous friendly matches, giving them a good understanding of their opponent's playing style.
A notable factor is that CA TP.HCM is only using one foreign player, which could impact their attacking strength. In reality, the finishing ability of the home team has been a major issue recently, as they have consistently missed many promising opportunities. If they do not improve their scoring efficiency, CA TP.HCM could very well pay the price against a Dong Nai team that is in good form and has high determination.
In terms of personnel, CA TP.HCM has its strongest lineup, while Dong Nai suffers a setback as coach Nguyen Viet Thang cannot directly lead due to a suspension. Nevertheless, based on their performances, the match promises to be very balanced and unpredictable.
