The Battle of Hang Day

After a nearly three-week break to make way for the Vietnamese national team's participation in the second round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region, the V-League 2023/2024 will return with matches from round 14 taking place on March 30th and 31st.

V-League 2023/2024 Round 14 Fixtures

This is the first round of the second half of the season, and in preparation for the 13 matches of the second phase, many teams have strengthened their squads to realize their goals and ambitions. In this round, all eyes will be on the three matches between HAGL vs. Khanh Hoa, Thanh Hoa vs. CAHN, and Hanoi FC vs. Nam Dinh.

The match between HAGL and Khánh Hòa in Round 14 of the V-League 2023/2024 is considered a crucial relegation battle. Both teams are currently in the relegation battle this season. HAGL, after a four-match unbeaten streak including two consecutive wins recently, has pushed Khánh Hòa to the bottom of the table.

VOV.VN - Round 14 of the V-League 2023/2024 will take place this weekend. This is the opening round of the second half of the season and will feature many promising new players making their debut.

Currently, the team from Pleiku has a 4-point lead over Khanh Hoa. With the advantage in points and playing at home, coach Vu Tien Thanh and his players can certainly devise a suitable strategy to secure a victory.

The head-to-head history favors HAGL, as the Peliku-based team is on a six-match unbeaten streak against Khanh Hoa. Of those six matches, HAGL has won four times. Their most recent defeat against Khanh Hoa was in July 2018.

Meanwhile, the match between Thanh Hoa and CAHN also received great attention from fans. Currently, Thanh Hoa and the defending champions have the same 22 points, competing for the championship with Binh Duong and Nam Dinh.

If they want to keep their hopes of winning the championship alive, Thanh Hoa and CAHN cannot afford to lose in their direct confrontation, because that would widen the gap between them and the leading team, Nam Dinh.

In the first leg of this season's match, Thanh Hoa played very hard, but against a CAHN team with a better squad and better finishing, coach Popov's team suffered a 1-3 defeat at Hang Day Stadium.

In this match, Thanh Hoa will once again be without a key player as Thai Son is suspended. Thai Son has played in all 13 matches of the first phase of the V-League 2023/2024, so his absence will be a major loss for the home team. If Thanh Hoa doesn't have a sensible approach to the game, it's not unlikely that they will once again suffer a defeat against the reigning champions.

Hanoi FC has an impressive head-to-head record against Nam Dinh at Hang Day Stadium.

The highlight match of round 14 is the clash between Hanoi FC and Nam Dinh. Currently, Hanoi FC is 10 points behind Nam Dinh in the title race. Therefore, if they don't want to surrender early, the team playing at Hang Day Stadium cannot afford to lose this direct confrontation.

Hanoi FC has added quality foreign players in the mid-season transfer window hoping to regain its position in the second phase. On the Nam Dinh side, coach Vu Hong Viet's team is showing determination to win the championship by recruiting Tuan Anh, Ngoc Bao, Thanh Thinh, and Lucas.

In terms of form and squad strength, Hanoi FC is currently weaker than Nam Dinh. However, Hanoi FC has the advantage of playing at home and boasts a streak of 5 wins against Nam Dinh at Hang Day Stadium. Therefore, fans can expect an exciting and dramatic match, similar to the first leg.
