Difficult to stop Ninh Binh Club
With 14 wins (13 clean sheets), 29 goals and 1 loss, Ninh Binh Club is showing overwhelming strength in the 2024 - 2025 first division.
Throughout history, Vietnamese football has never seen a team have a "perfect" season (all wins). Even in the 21st century, world football has had very few cases of a team winning a league tournament with all wins.
Hoang Duc and his teammates have a chance to reach this milestone if they win the remaining 6 matches. This is an achievable task, as Ninh Binh Club's force is superior to the first division level.

In the hands of coach Nguyen Viet Thang is a squad of talented players with Hoang Duc, Van Lam, Thanh Binh, Thanh Thinh, Quoc Viet, Van Thanh... Along with a playing style that emphasizes tightness and science , prioritizing control of the match to ensure a balance between attack and defense, Ninh Binh Club may not often win big, but knows how to solve every match.
With a 9-point gap over second-placed Binh Phuoc, Ninh Binh FC is almost certain to win the championship. The important thing is whether coach Viet Thang and his team will win the championship in a few rounds early, and whether they will have a perfect record or remain unbeaten throughout the season to set a record.
In round 16, Ninh Binh Club's opponent is Hoa Binh Club. Standing second to last after 15 matches (only 1 point more than the bottom team Hue), the Northwest representative is very thirsty for points. In the previous round, Hoa Binh Club played resiliently on Binh Phuoc's field and only lost the match thanks to Cong Phuong's personal mark (2 successful free kicks).

If they can maintain this spirit, Hoa Binh Club can make things difficult for Ninh Binh Club. However, perhaps what Hoa Binh Team can do will... just stop here. Because with overwhelming strength, Ninh Binh Club will find it difficult to let victory slip away.
Opportunity of Binh Phuoc Club
Binh Phuoc FC is still competing fiercely with PVF-CAND for a promotion play-off ticket. The 3-point gap with the second-placed opponent cannot help coach Huynh Quoc Anh and his team feel secure.
However, round 16 is a golden opportunity for Binh Phuoc Club to put pressure. Because while the opponent PVF-CAND is not playing, Binh Phuoc will play at home to compete with Dong Thap.
In the first leg, the team nicknamed "Green Storm" struggled to overcome Cao Lanh when they defeated the home team Dong Thap with a score of 1-0, thanks to a penalty goal by Luu Tu Nhan in the 89th minute.

Returning home, Binh Phuoc FC promises to have 3 full points. Dong Thap FC plays very poorly away from home with 7 matches without a win since the beginning of the tournament (3 draws, 4 losses). The points that help the lotus team to be in the top 4 are mainly accumulated from Cao Lanh home field, where the heat (both literally and figuratively) of the "fire pan" often makes it difficult for opponents.
Leaving Cao Lanh Stadium, Dong Thap Club will find it difficult to beat Binh Phuoc Club. Especially when Binh Phuoc team has Cong Phuong "back in form". Coach Huynh Quoc Anh's open attacking style also helps Cong Phuong, Tu Nhan, and Tuan Tai have more room to perform.
If they win, Binh Phuoc Club will temporarily be 6 points ahead of PVF-CAND, thus putting a lot of psychological pressure on the young team of coach Thach Bao Khanh. The path to promotion will be open, if Cong Phuong and his teammates know how to solve important problems.
