In Group A, Jiangsu Club (China) soon got a ticket to the semi-finals after 2 wins, both with a score of 3-1 against VTV Binh Dien Long An and Binh Chung Thong Tin. With a squad of athletes with high qualifications, uniformity, the best average height of the tournament and comprehensive playing style, Jiangsu Club is a strong candidate for the championship. They are almost certain to top the group, because in the last match they will only meet VietinBank - the team that lost 2 previous matches.
The remaining ticket to the semi-finals will be a direct competition between VTV Binh Dien Long An and Binh Chung Thong Tin. This is no different from the "early final" of the tournament, because both teams have strong strength, often competing for high positions in recent tournaments.
VTV Binh Dien Long An did not play as expected by fans. Stability throughout the match is still what coach Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa's team is lacking. To get a ticket to continue, they need to show bravery at the right time, minimizing mistakes when facing Binh Chung Thong Tin.
Compared to the opponent, VTV Binh Dien Long An has an advantage. They competed as the home team, receiving great encouragement from Tay Ninh fans. Their force is also more abundant when registering 14 athletes, including 2 foreign players.
The form of the main strikers is still quite good. Main attacker Thanh Thuy has scored 43 points after the past 2 matches, middle blocker Le Nhu Anh also contributed 22 points. Foreign player Regla Ortiz has not played at his best form but still scored 23 points. In addition, the team also has some other bright athletes such as setter Vo Thi Kim Thoa or main attacker Tra My.
However, main attacker Lianet Garcia is still injured and her ability to compete against Binh Chung Thong Tin is still unclear. If this athlete is added, VTV Binh Dien Long An will have more hope of winning.
With Binh chủng Thông tin, they only registered 12 athletes for this tournament, without foreign players. They do not have the strongest force as star Hoang Thi Kieu Trinh has not fully recovered from her finger injury. Previously, Kieu Trinh also did not participate in the Hoa Lu Cup 2026, round 1 of the 2026 National Club Championship and the Hung Vuong Cup 2026.
Through the past 2 matches, Binh Chung Thong Tin has played quite impressively, especially the young main attacker Pham Quynh Huong. This athlete born in 2008 has scored 37 points, and in the match against Jiangsu alone, she has 23 points. In addition to her impressive height and good jumping ability, Quynh Huong also plays confidently, especially when handling difficult balls.
In addition to Quynh Huong, Binh Chung Thong Tin also has other effective hitters such as Nguyen Huynh Phuong Thuy, Pham Thi Hien, Nguyen Thi Phuong, Pham Thi Nguyet Anh. With those things, Binh Chung Thong Tin confidently aims for the match against VTV Binh Dien Long An.
The head-to-head record between the two teams in the past time is also quite balanced. In the most recent meeting at the 3rd place match of the Hung Vuong Cup held on April 26, Binh Chung Thong Tin won against VTV Binh Dien Long An 3-1. But before that, in the first round of the national volleyball championship, coach Ngoc Hoa's team defeated the opponent 3-1.
Match VTV Binh Dien Long An vs Binh Dien Information at VTV9 - Binh Dien Cup 2026 will take place at 8:00 p.m. on May 17.
