Is Cong Phuong about to return to the V.League?

A win against Long An would bring Cong Phuong and his teammates back to the top tier of Vietnamese football.

It is highly likely that Truong Tuoi Dong Nai will be crowned champions one round early, as they have the home advantage when they host Long An – a team that has already secured their place in the league – in the penultimate round. Meanwhile, the remaining matches (taking place simultaneously at 4 PM on Saturday, May 30th) are still crucial for determining the final rankings…

The match between Truong Tuoi Dong Nai (currently with 47 points) and Long An (14 points, currently second to last) is also… almost predictable. The top contender for the championship is determined to win to secure the title one round early (currently 5 points ahead of Bac Ninh FC), while the visiting team, being the "underdog," has already achieved its goal of avoiding relegation.

In terms of overall strength, Dong Nai is in a much stronger position. Stars who have previously played in the V.League, such as Xuan Truong, Minh Vuong, and Cong Phuong, have transformed Dong Nai (formerly Binh Phuoc) into a highly ambitious force. Coach Nguyen Viet Thang's team demonstrates a well-rounded attacking and defensive strategy.

What the Đồng Nai fans most hoped for in this match was a "goal feast," and Công Phượng would contribute significantly to that feast with his goals after returning to play and scoring after a long absence due to injury.

The match between Quy Nhon United and Bac Ninh FC also promises to be a high-quality contest as both teams still have plenty of motivation. The home team currently only has a better goal difference than Ho Chi Minh City, so they are temporarily ranked higher. Therefore, they will certainly want to achieve the best possible results in their last two matches in the hope of maintaining their position in the medal-winning group.

Meanwhile, Bac Ninh FC may be content with the runner-up position, but the team considered the "surprise" of this season also needs to maintain its form and motivation to be ready for the relegation play-off match against the 13th-placed team in the V.League. Having won 3-1 in the first leg and with more stable form, Bac Ninh FC is probably still considered slightly more favored even though they will be playing away from home.
