The draw against The Cong Viettel in the previous round helped PVF-CAND keep hope in the V.League relegation race. However, they still face the most disadvantages in the bottom group.
After 24 rounds, PVF-CAND has 18 points and is at the bottom. 2 points behind SHB Da Nang, 3 points behind Becamex TPHCM and 5 points behind Hoang Anh Gia Lai. With the current situation, the risk of direct relegation is still present for Thanh Nhan and her teammates, while the play-off spot has not been guaranteed.
However, the door is still not closed. PVF-CAND still has 2 matches to decide their own fate somewhat. The necessary condition is that coach Tran Tien Dai's team must win a maximum of 6 points, and at the same time wait for direct competitors to stumble in the final rounds.
Their first challenge is hosting Hai Phong at home in round 25. The port city team has completed the relegation target early with 31 points. When there is no longer much pressure on achievements, Hai Phong is starting to aim to prepare forces for the new season.
Those signs have appeared in the recent round when coach Dang Van Thanh used many new factors. Some key players preparing to leave the team are no longer used regularly, giving way to players who are still in future plans.
Hai Phong no longer having a specific goal creates opportunities for PVF-CAND. In the context of only two rounds left, PVF-CAND's only goal is to win to continue to chase their opponents in the relegation race.
