After round 22 of LPBank V-League, Ha Tinh Club is ranked 4th on the rankings. With 35 points (16 points more than the second-to-last team Binh Dinh, 18 points more than the last team SHB Da Nang), Viktor Le and his teammates are officially in the league. However, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong and his team want to do more, which is a position in the top 3 to win a V-League medal for the first time in history.

Ha Tinh's form and determination are making their upcoming opponents worried. Of the 4 teams that will face Ha Tinh in the upcoming rounds, all are in the championship and relegation groups.

According to the schedule, in the next 4 rounds, coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's team will meet SLNA (round 23), Quang Nam (round 24), SHB Da Nang (round 25) and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh (round 26).

In the relegation battle, Ha Tinh has become a team that can decide the fate of many teams. This weekend, in round 23, Ha Tinh will have a very important “Nghe derby” with SLNA. The important thing is that Ha Tinh needs a win to enter the top 3, while SLNA (ranked 12th) needs points to maintain the gap with the 13th and 14th ranked teams.

Currently, the Nghe An team is only 3 points ahead of SHB Da Nang (bottom of the rankings) and 1 point ahead of Binh Dinh (second from bottom), so if they lose this match, they are at risk of relegation. Therefore, the match against Ha Tinh is of vital importance to SLNA.

After SLNA, Ha Tinh continues to bring challenges to Quang Nam and especially SHB Da Nang - the team with the highest risk of relegation. Most likely after the Ha Tinh vs SHB Da Nang match, the relegation race will be over.

With the match between Ha Tinh and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh in round 26, if the team from Thanh Nam cannot win the championship early, they will have to do everything to defeat the opponent considered the most difficult to play in this year's V-League to defend the throne at home.
