On the V.League 2024-2025 rankings, Hanoi Police is temporarily ranked 5th and Hai Phong is ranked 8th. However, with the knockout format like the National Cup, interesting surprises always happen.
For Hai Phong, the home team has relieved the heavy psychological pressure after a fairly successful series of matches recently, escaping the pursuit of the bottom group and rising to 8th place (24 points). In the last round of 19, coach Chu Dinh Nghiem and his team won 2-0 against Binh Dinh.
These are important premises for the Hai Phong team to confidently welcome Hanoi Police to aim for a ticket to the semi-finals.
On the other side, Hanoi Police have not really given fans of this team peace of mind with their recent form. They have just won two in rounds 17 and 18, but missed the 19th round when they drew with Ho Chi Minh City right at Hang Day Stadium.
Therefore, traveling to Lach Tray to meet the home team will be a big challenge for coach Mano Polking and his team.
The winning team in the upcoming quarter-final will meet The Cong Viettel in the semi-finals.
The match between Hai Phong and Hanoi Police will take place at 7:15 p.m. today (April 22) at Lach Tray Stadium.
