The highlight of round 18 of V.League is the duel between Nam Dinh Green Steel and Hoang Anh Gia Lai at Thien Truong Stadium.
The defeat against Ninh Binh in the recent matches caused the Mountain Town team to drop to 12th place in the rankings. This makes the relegation race more unpredictable. Therefore, coach Le Quang Trai's team aims for a favorable result against Nam Dinh to increase the gap with the teams behind.
However, this will be a big challenge for Hoang Anh Gia Lai as Nam Dinh is maintaining good form. Under the guidance of coach Vu Hong Viet, the Nam Dinh team is going through an unbeaten streak, promising to create many difficulties for opponents.
At Lach Tray Stadium, Hai Phong will face Ho Chi Minh City Police. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's team has just regained the joy of victory and this is the motivation for them to continue to achieve positive results against the away team.
In addition, Hanoi Police will have an away match against PVF-CAND. The Police sector team has the opportunity to increase points as PVF-CAND is facing instability and is at the bottom of the current rankings.
Another notable match is the clash between Hanoi FC and Hong Linh Ha Tinh. Coach Kewell's team must win against the opponent at all costs to continue to chase in this year's championship race.
