Round 21 of LPBank V.League 2024-2025 will start with The Cong Viettel vs Da Nang match. The home team will introduce new coach Velizar Popov in this match. This strategist was brought in to realize the great ambitions of The Cong Viettel.
The Cong Viettel is rated higher and has many motivations to debut as a gift for coach Popov. However, Da Nang is in quite impressive form, unbeaten in the last 3 matches. In the previous round, they beat Thanh Hoa 1-0, thereby reviving their hope of staying in the league.
Hong Linh Ha Tinh will have the opportunity to extend their consecutive unbeaten streak to 7 matches, when they meet Binh Duong at home. Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team just had a very successful away match, when they defeated Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Ho Chi Minh City with a score of 1-0.
This result helped Ha Tinh rise to 4th place and was full of opportunities to enter the Top 3 at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Binh Duong is in poor form, with a streak of 5 consecutive matches without a win. With such contrasting form, Ha Tinh is likely to have a positive result against the team from the land of Thu.
In this round, Hai Phong will meet Song Lam Nghe An. The home team is in a fairly safe position in the V.League and has been eliminated at the National Cup, so it will be very comfortable. In contrast, Song Lam Nghe An has a series of 4 consecutive games without winning. This result caused them to continue facing the tough relegation problem. The first leg, Song Lam Nghe An won Hai Phong 1-0 at home, but the second leg would not be easy for them to re-victory.
Quy Nhon Binh Dinh, the team currently second to last, will meet Hoang Anh Gia Lai at home. This is a great opportunity for the team from the land of martial arts to win, because Hoang Anh Gia Lai has very erratic performance. If they have 3 points, Binh Dinh will open up more opportunities to stay in the league this season.
Thanh Hoa will not have an easy match when they meet Ho Chi Minh City at home. The home team lost to the bottom team Da Nang in the previous round, disappointing many fans. In the first leg, the two teams drew 2-2 at Thong Nhat Stadium, with many controversies related to the referee. Therefore, the return match promises to have many dramatic developments.
The highlight match of this round will take place between Hanoi FC vs Nam Dinh, at 7:15 p.m. on May 4. The away team is leading the group but only has 2 points more than Hanoi FC. The capital team has many opportunities to overcome their opponents, thereby taking the right to decide in the race for the championship if they defeat their opponents.
Hanoi FC was the best team in April, with 3 wins and 1 draw. Their players are all in good psychological condition and in good form. As for Nam Dinh, they also managed to heat up this match with an important 3-1 victory over Binh Duong in round 20.
The latest match of this round will take place between Quang Nam and Hanoi Police. This was not an easy match for the away team, as they only had a few days off after the second leg of the Southeast Asian Cup C1 semi-final. In the first leg, the two teams drew 4-4 in a spectacular score chase match.
