Nam Dinh Club no longer has a chance to defend the V.League 2025-2026 crown after a 1-1 draw against Becamex TPHCM in the recent round. This result could not meet the expectations of the Nam team after 2 consecutive seasons of championship.
Continuous changes in the coaching bench are one of the reasons why Nam Dinh lacks stability. Although coach Vu Hong Viet returned to lead the team, the performance of the home team at Thien Truong Stadium has only improved somewhat.
In the context that the opportunity to enter the top 3 is no longer many, Nam Dinh's goal at this time is to accumulate as many points as possible. At the same time, focus on the National Cup and C1 Southeast Asian Cup arenas.
In round 21, Nam Dinh will host Ho Chi Minh City Police at home. This is considered a difficult challenge for the Nam Dinh team as the opponent has just regained excitement with an important victory over Hong Linh Ha Tinh in the previous round.
Coach Huynh Duc's team once went through a series of 3 consecutive defeats, before winning all 3 points in round 20. This helps them reduce pressure in the relegation race. With 29 points, Ho Chi Minh City Police is currently 5th and still hopes to compete for a position in the top 3, although the gap with the group above is still relatively large.
The match between Nam Dinh and Ho Chi Minh City Police in round 21 of V.League takes place at 6:00 PM today (May 1), live on FPT Play.
