The highlight of round 9 of V.League is the match between Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh at Pleiku Stadium.
In the previous round, the team from the mountain town won their first victory against The Cong Viettel. However, they have yet to escape the bottom of the table. Meanwhile, Nam Dinh struggled to hold Da Nang to a 1-1 draw, showing alarming fluctuations in performance.
The result of the upcoming match will directly affect the situation of the bottom group. Both Hoang Anh Gia Lai and Nam Dinh need 3 points to increase their scores and improve their current position.
At Thong Nhat, the Ho Chi Minh City Police team will host Hai Phong. After a bitter defeat against Hanoi Police despite having more players, coach Le Huynh Duc and his team still have a lot of work to do if they want to defeat Hai Phong in this round.
Under the leadership of Mr. Chu Dinh Nghiem, the Hai Phong team showed their unpredictable strength and playing style, making it difficult to predict. Their stable performance at the moment is a big challenge for Tien Linh and his teammates.
In addition, Hanoi FC will visit Hong Linh Ha Tinh. Coach Harry Kewell's team is determined to win to get closer to the current top 3.
The remaining matches in round 9 are the clashes between Hanoi Police - PVF-CAND, Ninh Binh - Becamex HCMC, SHB Da Nang - Song Lam Nghe An and Dong A Thanh Hoa - The Cong Viettel.
