After the first two rounds of V.League 2025, Ho Chi Minh City Police and Hoang Anh Gia Lai both experienced contrasting results, promising to create a notable match in round 3.
Coach Le Huynh Duc's team had an impressive start when defeating Hanoi FC 2-1 on the opening day. However, in round 2, Ho Chi Minh City Police suffered a 0-3 defeat to The Cong Viettel. Although the start was full of excitement, Viettel's cohesion and unified players helped the away team win all 3 points.
Meanwhile, Hoang Anh Gia Lai started the season with difficulties. They lost 0-3 to Becamex HCMC at home and are expected to continue to face difficulties when visiting Hanoi FC. But the mountain town team unexpectedly drew 0-0 at Hang Day Stadium, in which goalkeeper Trung Kien and his defense played outstandingly, neutralizing more than 20 shots from the opponent.
In the upcoming match, Ho Chi Minh City Police will be considered to be better thanks to home field advantage and strength. They have striker Tien Linh - who scored 13 goals last season, and 4 foreign players who were registered early. On the other side of the front line, Hoang Anh Gia Lai still needs more time to perfect their playing style and regain stability.
