The highlight of round 23 of V.League is the confrontation between Thep Xanh Nam Dinh and The Cong Viettel. The soldier-shirted team is still trying to catch up with Cong An Ha Noi in the rankings, so they need a victory against Nam Dinh to keep hope.
However, if Hanoi Police defeat Dong A Thanh Hoa at Hang Day, coach Polking's team will win the V.League championship 3 rounds early. At that time, The Cong Viettel can only secure the second position in the group.
In another development, Ninh Binh FC is also aiming for a victory against Song Lam Nghe An. In case The Cong Viettel stumbles, the ancient capital team will significantly shorten the gap with the hope of rising to win the overall runner-up title, when the tournament has 4 more legs left.
Another notable match is the confrontation between Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Hong Linh Ha Tinh. After losing to the bottom team PVF-CAND, coach Le Quang Trai's team received much criticism from fans. Therefore, they need to defeat the Nghe team to somewhat regain their faith.
The remaining matches in round 23 of V.League are Ho Chi Minh City Police - SHB Da Nang; Hai Phong - Becamex Ho Chi Minh City; PVF-CAND - Hanoi FC.
