Hai Phong Club at Thong Nhat Stadium (HCMC) at 7:15 p.m. on May 9 ( FPT Play).
Before entering round 22 of the 2024-2025 V-League, Ho Chi Minh City Club temporarily ranked 9th on the rankings with 25 points. Ho Chi Minh City Club currently has the same number of points as Hai Phong and Binh Duong but is behind these two teams because of the lower secondary index. In the race to the finish line, the "red battleship" lost its strength due to injuries. A series of pillars such as goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang, defender Duarte Rocha Matheus, midfielder Vo Huy Toan and Nguyen Thai Quoc Cuong... left open the possibility of playing. In round 22, in addition to the "wounded" list, Ho Chi Minh City Club also did not have the service of versatile midfielder Dao Quoc Gia due to the "suspension" penalty.

After firing Estonian player Erik Sorga due to poor scoring performance, Ho Chi Minh City FC recruited Brazilian striker Joao Pedro Boeira Duarte to replace him from the second leg of the 2024-2025 V-League. Although he played in the V-League for Viettel FC (2023-2024 season) and has an ideal physique with a height of 1.86 m, this 24-year-old striker has not met the expectations of the coaching staff. After 6 matches, Joao Pedro has only scored 1 goal.
Having just had a surprising victory over Thanh Hoa FC right on their opponent's field, Ho Chi Minh City FC is very excited when returning home to host Hai Phong FC. Coach Phung Thanh Phuong and his team have temporarily escaped the danger zone but still need to take advantage of the home field to get 3 more points, improve their position on the rankings as well as consolidate their goal of successfully staying in the league.
Similarly, Hai Phong FC is also "thirsty for points", wanting to win in their away match in Ho Chi Minh City to be able to rest assured of staying in the league. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's team has only won 1 point after the last 2 rounds but has been unbeaten with 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 encounters with Ho Chi Minh City FC.
