Hanoi Police Club will visit Buriram United in the third round of the 2025-2026 Southeast Asian Cup C1 group stage.
After the first 2 rounds, Hanoi Police only has 3 points and is ranked 4th in Group A. Coach Polking's team lost 1-2 to BG Pathum United and beat Cebu FC (Philippines) 1-0. This result did not accurately reflect the ability of the Vietnamese representative, especially when they unfortunately lost to their opponent from Thailand.
Meanwhile, Buriram United are not much better despite being the defending champions. The Golden Temple team only has 2 points after two draws against BG Pathum and Selangor (Malaysia). Therefore, both Hanoi Police and Buriram have reason to be determined to win all 3 points in this match.
Last season, the two teams met in the final but the overall victory belonged to Buriram United. Of course, Quang Hai and his teammates always want to get revenge on this "debt".
Another representative of Vietnam, Nam Dinh FC, will visit Shan United (Myanmar). This is an opportunity for coach Mauro and his team to accumulate points when the opponent is not too strong.
At the moment, Nam Dinh has 3 points and is ranked second in Group C, but has played 1 match less than the other teams. Therefore, if they defeat Shan United, they can completely chase the top spot of Johor Darul Ta'zim (Malaysia).
Southeast Asian Cup C1 match schedule 2025-2026:
19:00 on December 3: Buriram FC - Hanoi Police
18:00 on December 4: Shan United - Nam Dinh
