Binh Dinh football at risk of relegation

(NLDO) - Only 6 points ahead of the bottom team after 18 rounds, Binh Dinh Club is still at high risk of being relegated if it does not improve its performance.

Binh Dinh used to be a candidate for the V-League championship, with strong investment in infrastructure and personnel. Last season, the "martial arts" team impressed with the runner-up position in the V-League, becoming one of the few teams with the most beautiful stadium in the country.

Binh Dinh (white shirt) is at risk of relegation at the end of the 2024-2025 season.

However, after facing financial difficulties and limited operating budget, Binh Dinh lost its top position on the Vietnamese football map. With no more stars in the squad, Binh Dinh Club continuously failed, only winning 4 matches and drawing 4 matches after 18 rounds, ranking second to last in the rankings.

At one point, coach Bui Doan Quang Huy had to submit his resignation because he could not stand the pressure from the home crowd after a series of poor matches. However, the former national player born in 1977 still decided to stick with the Quy Nhon team after being comforted and sympathized by the team's leadership.

Binh Dinh Club loses strength before round 19

This season, due to lack of funds for maintenance and renovation, Quy Nhon Stadium has been criticized by audiences and many football teams because the grass is uneven, of poor quality, and does not meet professional competition standards.

Binh Dinh is 2 points behind the team above them and if they do not improve their position in the final race, they will have to compete in a play-off to fight for a place in the relegation zone. Before round 19, coach Quang Huy's team was depleted due to the absence of two key players, captain Cao Van Trien and Tran Trong Hieu, who were suspended due to yellow cards.

The trip to Lach Tray to face host Hai Phong on April 18 is an important match in Binh Dinh's relegation race. The goal of coach Quang Huy and his team is to win at least 1 point.

Also in round 19, due to the "suspension" penalty, Ha Tinh Club will not have the service of Van Hanh and Dinh Tien when competing with Hoang Anh Gia Lai at Pleiku Stadium. Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City Club's force will also be without midfielder Dao Quoc Gia due to receiving a direct red card in the draw with Nam Dinh in round 18.

Players banned from playing in round 19 due to penalty cards include: Thai Son (Thanh Hoa), Hong Son ( Da Nang ) and Romulo (Nam Dinh).
