Latest V-League rankings: The top spot is about to change hands, Da Nang is far from giving up

V-League is increasingly unpredictable

Round 19 of the 2024-2025 V-League has ended after a series of late matches on the evening of April 20. At Vinh Stadium, SLNA drew 1-1 with Quang Nam in a match between two "unfortunate people". Meanwhile, at Tam Ky Stadium, Da Nang Club blocked Nam Dinh's progress on the rankings, holding their opponents to a 0-0 draw.

So after 19 rounds, Nam Dinh FC is still leading with 36 points. However, Hanoi FC is very close behind with 34 points. Thanh Hoa FC is in third place with 30 points, equal to The Cong Viettel (fourth place) but ranked higher due to better goal difference.

Standing fifth with 29 points is Hanoi Police Club. With 7 points less than the top spot, the championship chance of coach Alexandre Polking and his team is still there, but it is not too clear when the former V-League champion is still very inconsistent in matches against weaker teams.

In sixth place is Ha Tinh FC with 28 points. Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong and his team continued to demonstrate their offensive defensive style of play when they defeated HAGL 1-0 away. In seventh place is Binh Duong FC with 25 points, after Nguyen Cong Manh and his team lost 0-3 at home to Hanoi FC.

In the lower half of the rankings, the last 3 positions belong to SLNA (12th place, 19 points), Binh Dinh (13th place, 16 points) and Da Nang (14th place, 11 points). The valuable 0-0 draw against Nam Dinh helped Da Nang Club to be only 5 points behind Binh Dinh's play-off position. This is a gap that can still be filled if Da Nang continues to fight as hard as they are now.

However, the relegation race is not just about the three names mentioned above. Teams like Hai Phong (8th place, 24 points), Ho Chi Minh City Club (9th place, 22 points), HAGL (10th place, 21 points) and Quang Nam (11th place, 21 points) must also try to accumulate every point if they do not want to be dragged down to the bottom group.
