Pre-match information
The postponed match of round 10 of V.League 2025-2026 between The Cong Viettel and Nam Dinh has a very different meaning for the two teams.
For the home team, this is an opportunity to erase the bad memory from the 1-4 defeat to Song Lam Nghe An right before the Tet holiday. This defeat put the soldier team in a state of disappointment, increasing pressure on the coaching staff and players in the championship race.
The Cong Viettel currently has 22 points, still has a chance to catch up with the two leading teams, Cong An Hanoi and Ninh Binh. A victory at Hang Day Stadium will help them narrow the gap and regain confidence for the decisive stage of the season.
On the other side, Nam Dinh is experiencing a period of decline. A series of draws in the V.League has caused them to drop to the bottom half of the rankings, currently only having 12 points and standing near the bottom group.
The 17-point gap with the top spot makes the hope of defending the championship far from reach, but the Nam Dinh team still needs points to avoid falling further into the relegation race.
Nam Dinh's biggest problem is unstable form and away field mentality. The Cong Viettel is considered a "enemy" with an uncomfortable playing style, so the goal of winning all 3 points at Hang Day is a significant challenge for the away team.
The Cong Viettel needs to win to continue the top group race, and Nam Dinh is not allowed to be empty-handed if they do not want to push themselves into a difficult position in the rest of the season.
