According to the latest announcement of the organizing committee's match schedule change, 6 out of 7 matches in round 17 of V.League 2024-2025 will take place on Sunday (September 6. Because there are many matches taking place on the same day, 5/7 matches in this round will have the support of VAR technology.
The two matches that do not apply VAR are the competition between Hoang Anh Gia Lai - Binh Duong and The Cong Viettel - Quang Nam.
At Hang Day Stadium, the match between Hanoi FC and Thanh Hoa is considered the focus of round 17. In theory, both have a chance to compete for the top 3. Therefore, this will be a not-so-compromising match between the two candidates of the tournament.
Under the guidance of coach Makoto, Hanoi FC is gradually promoting its strength. Meanwhile, Thanh Hoa will have the debut of the new head coach Steinbruckner. In many ways, the advantage is in favor of the home team. However, the two teams were 1-1 in the first leg, so the second leg was still very difficult to guess the results.
In the earliest match, Hoang Anh Gia Lai welcomed Binh Duong at Pleiku Stadium. The team from the Mountain City is eagerly waiting to get revenge on the "debt" lost 1-4 in the first leg at Go Dau Stadium. However, in terms of both strength and form, Hoang Anh Gia Lai is somewhat inferior to its opponent.
Meanwhile, defending champion Nam Dinh, who are leading the rankings, will host Hai Phong - an opponent who is also quite in good form in the rounds before the recent long break. It seems that coach Vu Hong Viet has found a satisfactory solution for the two absences of Nguyen Xuan Son and Van Toan in the attack, thereby helping the team regain their effectiveness in playing style.
Having won 2-1 right at Lach Tray Stadium in the first leg, there is no doubt about Nam Dinh's advantage. However, whether they can concretize their advantage into victory or not against a Hai Phong team that plays with a lot of calculation still needs to wait for reality to answer.
The match between Binh Dinh and Hong Linh Ha Tinh was also a match where the result was not easy to predict. The first leg of the match between the two teams ended in a draw, although Binh Dinh had to play away with a much weaker force than last season. Therefore, a draw match is predictable for many people.
The remaining two matches include Ho Chi Minh City vs Song Lam Nghe An and Da Nang vs. Hanoi Police.
