The National Cup is in the spotlight today with quarterfinal matches after nearly four months, with the big names as favourites to make it through.

Thanh Hoa take on Dong Nai at home today, while the V-League's current leader Hoang Anh Gia Lai will travel to Ninh Binh in the other match of the day. Thanh Hoa and Gia Lai are tipped to advance.

Tomorrow, SHB Da Nang take on Quang Nam at Chi Lang Stadium in Da Nang. Playing at home with quality players on the squad, it will be no surprise if Da Nang come out on top.

At Tan An Stadium in Long An, the home team Long An is believed to be the underdog in an encounter with the mighty Ha Noi T&T.

The winners will qualify for the semifinals to be held in early August. — VNS
