After 15 rounds, Nam Dinh is leading the rankings with 30 points, 4 points more than the team behind Hanoi FC. Meanwhile, Hanoi Police ranked 6th with 21 points.
Coach Vu Hong Viet's team is on a 3-match winning streak, thanks to the timely brilliance of domestic players such as Hong Duy and Van Vi. With such high performance, they are confident to visit Hanoi Police - a team with quite erratic performance.
In the first leg, Hanoi Police beat Nam Dinh 3-0 away. But it will not be easy for Polking and his team to defeat their opponents in the second leg, when they have only won 1 of their last 6 matches.
This round, Hanoi FC will visit Hong Linh Ha Tinh - a team that has only lost 1 match since the beginning of the season. Hong Linh Ha Tinh does not have many stars, but is a team with a cohesive and physically strong playing style. They have been unbeaten in 8 home matches since the beginning of the season, including 2 wins.
In the first leg, Hanoi FC drew 1-1 at home. The capital team will rely on their recent high form to aim for victory. In the last 3 matches, Van Quyet and his teammates have won, scoring an average of 3 goals/match.
Thanh Hoa team will face Hoang Anh Gia Lai in this round. In the first leg, the two teams drew 1-1. The two teams met in a context where they were not in good form. Thanh Hoa has just parted ways with coach Velizar Popov after going through a series of 10 draws and losses in all competitions.
In the V.League, Thanh Hoa went through 6 matches without a win, including 1 loss and 5 draws, falling to 3rd place on the rankings, in the context of opponents chasing each other very closely. Meanwhile, Hoang Anh Gia Lai has lost their last 2 matches.
The bottom team Da Nang will play away at Hai Phong. Despite improvements in playing style and performance under coach Le Duc Tuan, Da Nang has not been able to improve its position. They only have 9 points, 4 points behind the team above. If they continue to lose to Hai Phong, the hope of the Han River team staying in the league will become very fragile. In the first leg, the two teams drew 0-0.
Meanwhile, the team behind Song Lam Nghe An will play at home against the team right above Binh Dinh. With the same 13 points, the team that wins this match will have a big advantage in staying in the league. This is no different from a "6-point match". In the first leg, the two teams drew 2-2.
Binh Duong - The Cong Viettel is another notable match, because both teams are at the top of the rankings and have many ambitions. In the first leg, The Cong Viettel beat their opponents 1-0 despite playing with one less player. In the return, the team from Thu hopes to successfully repay the debt. Binh Duong is in good form, winning 3 and drawing 1 in the last 4 matches.
The remaining match of this round will take place between Quang Nam - Ho Chi Minh City. In the first leg, the two teams drew 0-0. Quang Nam played at home but that was not too big an advantage, because they have lost 2/3 of their most recent matches at their "holy ground".
