Hanoi FC started the V-League 2023 relatively impressively when they were unbeaten after the first 6 matches, including 4 victories.
Hanoi FC (white) is falling in the V-League 2023
Thought this was the season when the capital team easily dominated the throne, which they have done up to 6 times in the past.
But the turning point happened from the 7th round of the V-League 2023 when they received a strong 1-3 loss at Binh Dinh Stadium.
After that forgettable result, the most successful team in Vietnam has more than a month to train their troops and restore their morale.
However, all that Hanoi FC left behind was only disappointment.
Specifically, after a long break to serve the 32nd SEA Games, the purple shirt team had 3 matches against much lower rated opponents, namely Da Nang, Binh Duong and HAGL.
But coach Bandovic and his team only got 2 points in this series of matches. Worth mentioning, 2 of the 3 teams above are located in the lowest positions of the rankings.
In the last match against HAGL on May 31, Hanoi FC lost 5-0 at Pleiku Stadium.
Meanwhile, two other teams in the top 3, Hanoi Police (CAHN) and Thanh Hoa, are making amazing strides and creating a big gap with Hanoi.
Specifically, since the 32nd SEA Games, CAHN has had 7 points after 3 matches. While Thanh Hoa has 4 points and 1 match has not been played.
Currently, the police team has 2 points more than Hanoi FC, this number of Thanh Hoa is 5 points and played less than one match.
The cause of the decline of the capital team is that they have lacked many pillars in recent times.
Prominent is the case of striker Nguyen Van Quyet (banned for 8 matches) and Hung Dung who are not yet healthy.
If they do not stand up in time, the home team of Hang Day Stadium will find it difficult to compete for the championship with rivals like CAHN or Thanh Hoa.
In particular, both these teams are having convincing performances along with stability in form.
