Da Nang team is 13th/14 in V.League. The Han River team won 2-1 against Song Lam Nghe An in the final match, but could not improve their ranking. Because in the match at the same time, the Quang Nam team drew 3-3 with Hoang Anh Gia Lai.
Meanwhile, Binh Phuoc team ranked 2nd in the First Division in the 2024-2025 season. They won 44 points, exactly 1 point more than PVF-CAND. Coach Huynh Quoc Anh's team won 3-0 against Long An in the final round, to win a ticket to the play-off round.
According to the plan approved by Vietnam Football Joint Stock Company (VPF) in advance, the play-off match between Da Nang vs Binh Phuoc will take place at 6:00 p.m. at Thong Nhat Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City on June 27.
To ensure the best operation, VPF will invite two external referees to control, including one main referee and one referee controlling the VAR room.
The winning team in the play-off will win a ticket to participate in the V.League in the 2025-2026 season. In the history of these matches, the victories have often been in favor of V.League teams. Last year, Hong Linh Ha Tinh team won against PVF-CAND, after a 3-2 comeback victory.
In theory, Da Nang is the team that is rated higher, because they are playing in the V.League. However, compared to the current force, Binh Phuoc team is not inferior.
In the Binh Phuoc squad, there are many stars, many famous people, even having won the V.League such as Bui Tan Truong, Huynh Tan Sinh, Sam Ngoc Duc, Tran Phi Son, Ho Tuan Tai, Nguyen Cong Phuong, Le Thanh Binh...
In addition, the Da Nang team will also play without foreign players when meeting Binh Phuoc. That gives the Southern team an even advantage. In the Binh Phuoc squad, there is midfielder Hoang Minh Tam, who has played for Da Nang for many years and is very knowledgeable about his former teammates.
In addition, Huynh Quoc Anh - a former football player of Da Nang, who won the V.League 2009, 2012 and won the Vietnam Golden Ball 2012 is leading the Binh Phuoc team.
Those promises to make the upcoming play-off match more exciting.
