The opening match between Hong Linh Ha Tinh and SHB Da Nang is an important opportunity for the Han River team. After the victory over Hai Phong in the previous round, Da Nang significantly improved their position in the rankings and continues to nurture hopes of escaping the dangerous group.
With the score gap no longer too large, coach Le Duc Tuan's team needs more positive results to avoid the scenario of playing in the play-offs.
Meanwhile, Hoang Anh Gia Lai faces a big challenge when hosting Hanoi FC at Pleiku stadium. The Mountain Town team has not yet created a safe distance with the bottom group, so the risk of being dragged back into the relegation race is still present. Their opponent is competing for a position in the top group, making the pressure on Trung Kien and his teammates even greater.
Another match that is also being watched is the confrontation between Hanoi Police and Becamex HCMC. Although they won the championship early, Hanoi Police can still directly affect the situation of the bottom group. For the Southern representative, the goal of winning points becomes important before entering the final round.
In addition, PVF-CAND matches against Hai Phong or Dong A Thanh Hoa against Ninh Binh also have a significant impact on the rankings at both tops of the rankings.
