Pre-match information
In round 17 of the 2024-2025 National First Division, Binh Phuoc club will visit Dong Nai FC. This is an opportunity for coach Huynh Quoc Anh's team to increase their score.
Currently, Binh Phuoc is ranked 2nd with 36 points, 7 points behind the leader Phu Dong Ninh Binh. The fact that the direct competitor for the ticket to the top spot unexpectedly shared points with Hoa Binh in the most recent match has helped Cong Phuong and his teammates shorten the gap.
However, 7 points is still a fairly large number in the context of the First Division with only 4 rounds left. The chance for Binh Phuoc to win the championship is quite slim, but they must win the remaining matches to consolidate their second place in the group - the play-off position for promotion.
Behind, PVF-CAND is also chasing fiercely, only 3 points behind Binh Phuoc. Therefore, if they stumble in the upcoming matches, coach Huynh Quoc Anh and his team may have to pay a heavy price.
On the other side of the front line, Dong Nai is enthusiastically competing after a series of recent improvements. Under new coach Ngo Quang Sang, this team has risen to 8th place in the table with 13 points.
However, this achievement is not enough for Dong Nai to stay in the league when they are only 2 points above the relegation zone. Therefore, a result from a draw to a win against Binh Phuoc will help Dong Nai be more confident.
