Hanoi Police Club vs PVF-CAND: Home team waits for 3 points

The unbeaten streak of Hanoi Police Club is likely to be extended when coach Alexandre Polking's team welcomes PVF-CAND at Hang Day Stadium in round 9 of V-League 2025 - 2026.

At 7:15 p.m. on October 31 at Hang Day Stadium (TV onFPT Play, TV 360+10), Hanoi Police Club will have a match with the same headquarters team (located in Hung Yen), PVF-CAND, within the framework of round 9 of V-League 2025 - 2026. This is a match that is predicted to be within the ability of Hanoi Police Club to win 3 points.

Hardly surprising

That is because the correlation between form and squad quality is leaning towards the Hanoi Police Club. Under the leadership of coach Alexandre Polking, the police team, despite having to play in many arenas, is still stable in the top of the V-League rankings.

Hanoi Police and Ninh Binh are the two rare teams that have not lost a match since the beginning of the season (before round 9). 5 wins and 2 draws have helped Coach Polking's team rank second in the rankings with 17 points but have played 1 match less than Ninh Binh (20 points).

In the past victories, Hanoi Police impressed when they convincingly won 3 points against tough opponents such as Hanoi and defending champion Nam Dinh, and tied with The Cong - Viettel.

In contrast to the high form of Hanoi Police Club is the unstable performance of PVF-CAND. They defeated Song Lam Nghe An when they were newly promoted, but went through 7 consecutive matches with only draws and losses. In some matches, PVF-CAND's offense played well, but the defense made mistakes that caused the team to drop the victory.

PVF-CAND head coach Thach Bao Khanh admitted: "Instability is the problem of young players. They can play very well but also often have bad moments."

That is the weakness that makes a young team and first-time V-League player like PVF-CAND easily exploited by opponents.

Difference in strength

In terms of force, PVF-CAND cannot compare the quality of the squad with Hanoi Police. The rookie team of V-League has many promising U22 Vietnam players. However, players like Thanh Nhan, Xuan Bac or Hieu Minh are only playing in the V-League for the first time, and cannot be compared with Quang Hai, Dinh Trong or Quang Vinh of Hanoi Police.

As for foreign players, Hanoi Police owns the Golden Boot and Best Player of last season, Alan Grafite, plus other very good strikers, Stephan Mauk and Leo Artur. PVF-CAND only has a mid-range striker, Mpande Joseph, and veteran Hoang Vu Samson, who is 37 years old this year.

PVF-CAND will most likely become the next victim of Hanoi Police. If they win, Coach Polking’s team will extend their unbeaten streak on the V-League rankings and breathe down the necks of Ninh Binh Club.
