Ninh Binh FC accelerates, HAGL seeks to escape the bottom.

With Hanoi Police FC (CAHN) not playing in Round 10 of the V-League 2025-2026, Ninh Binh FC needs to take advantage of the opportunity to widen the gap with the chasing team.

WILL ANYONE BE THE "BEST BOSS"?

Ninh Binh is currently leading the table with 21 points, just one point ahead of CAHN. Hoang Duc and his teammates will have the opportunity to widen the gap as the police team is busy competing in the 2025-2026 AFC Cup. Ninh Binh's opponent is SLNA (match takes place at 6 PM on November 5th), a team in the relegation battle. Playing at home and with a significantly stronger squad, Ninh Binh is predicted to win 3 points. If they achieve this, Coach Albadalejo's team will be 4 points ahead of CAHN, putting pressure on their rivals in the rescheduled matches.

Similarly, Hai Phong FC also needs to secure all three points when they visit Becamex Ho Chi Minh City FC (match at 6 PM on November 5th) to overtake The Cong Viettel (who also won't be playing in this round) and close the gap with CAHN. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's ​​team is in extremely high form with a five-match unbeaten streak, including three wins. Hai Phong is naturally considered the favorite as their opponent is not at full strength due to star player Minh Khoa's serious injury.

THE TWO BIG PLAYERS NEED TO COME BACK

It can be said that the schedule in Round 10 is favorable for the big teams. Hanoi FC will play at home, hosting the young players of PVF-CAND (the match takes place at 7:15 PM on November 4th). After coach Harry Kewell took over, the capital city team has shown positive changes in their playing style. However, Hanoi has only won one match and lost two. Therefore, Van Quyet and his teammates will have to make a tremendous effort to win three points and improve their position. The gap between Hanoi FC and the top team is currently 9 points, but the season is still very long.

The Ho Chi Minh City Police FC also needs a win to get back on track. In their last three matches, coach Le Huynh Duc's team drew one and lost two. Their next opponent is Da Nang FC (match at 6 PM on November 5th), a team with only 7 points, in the relegation battle. But if they don't soon address their ineffective finishing, Tien Linh and his teammates could pay the price.

At 6 PM on November 4th, HAGL will face a tough challenge when they play away against Ha Tinh FC, the team that just defeated Hanoi FC 2-1. If they fail to get any points, HAGL will continue to languish at the bottom of the league table.
