Referee Razlan Joffri Bin Ali, born in 1985, is a familiar face to V.League fans in recent seasons. He is often invited by the Vietnam Football Federation to perform duties in highly competitive matches, directly affecting the championship or relegation race.
In the 2023-2024 season, Mr. Bin Ali officiated the match Quang Nam won against Song Lam Nghe An 4-2 in round 24. In the 2024-2025 season, this referee will continue to be assigned to officiate the match Da Nang against Song Lam Nghe An in round 26 at Tam Ky stadium. In addition, he also served as a VAR referee in the match between Hanoi FC and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh in round 21.
Accompanying Mr. Bin Ali in the upcoming match is referee Mohamad Kamil Zakaria Bin Ismail, born in 1995. This young Malaysian referee is also no stranger to V.League as he has officiated the match between Binh Dinh and Hanoi FC in round 26, as well as the match between Hanoi FC and Nam Dinh in round 21 of the 2024-2025 season.
The confrontation between Hanoi Police and Ninh Binh is considered one of the most notable matches of round 12. After 10 rounds, both teams are maintaining an unbeaten record. Ninh Binh temporarily leads the rankings with 27 points after 8 wins and 3 draws, while Hanoi Police ranks 2nd with 26 points, achieving 8 wins and 2 draws, but playing 1 match less.
With a balanced force in all three lines, stable playing style and the leadership of two highly rated foreign coaches, Mano Polking and Albadalejo, the match is predicted to be balanced and difficult to predict the result.
Another notable detail is that coach Mano Polking of Hanoi Police is not directly directed in the technical area because he has received enough 3 yellow cards. The Brazilian coach will have to monitor and direct the team from the stands.
