In the midst of a fierce competition, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai FC drew 0-0 against Dong Thap FC in Round 14. This opens up an opportunity for other teams competing behind them to close the gap.
However, coach Viet Thang and his team didn't let themselves be pressured, securing a victory in Round 15. Hosting Quang Ninh FC, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai won convincingly 3-0 to solidify their position at the top of the league table.
With 35 points, Dong Nai has created a 6-point gap with their closest pursuer. Bac Ninh FC has returned to second place after a 1-0 victory over Dong Thap.
Among the top 3 teams, Bac Ninh scored the fewest goals with only 19 in 15 rounds (Dong Nai FC scored 31 goals, Quy Nhon United scored 28 goals). These narrow victories, though minimal, earned them maximum points, allowing them to secure second place in the standings and continue their pursuit of the title.
Quy Nhon United dropped to third place in the standings after holding second place for several rounds. The team's impressive winning streak came to an end when they only managed a draw against PVF-CAND Youth Club.
The draw at a crucial point in the race has left Quy Nhon United significantly behind the leaders (27 points compared to 35 points), making their hopes of catching up even more precarious. The closest goal that coach Trinh Duy Quang's team can pursue is second place, currently held by Bac Ninh, with a gap of 2 points between the two teams (27 points compared to 29 points).
The matches in late April and early May 2026 will be decisive for Truong Tuoi Dong Nai's promotion race: an away game against Quy Nhon United in round 16 and a trip to Viet Yen to face Bac Ninh (round 18).
If they win, the championship and a ticket to the V.League 2026/27 will be almost certainly in the hands of Coach Viet Thang's team. Conversely, if they stumble, the race will be incredibly unpredictable and exciting.
Xuan Thien Phu Tho has been making remarkable progress in the standings in recent rounds. In round 15, the team achieved the most resounding and impressive victory among all matches, defeating Long An Club with a score of 4-0.
In the previous round, Xuan Thien Phu Tho defeated Ho Chi Minh City FC 4-3. With 22 points in hand, the team led by coach Quoc Vuong has opened up an opportunity to compete for a top 5 spot, and can see the third-placed team, Quy Nhon United, closing in.
The order at the bottom of the table remains unchanged, with all three clubs in this group – Dong Thap, Long An, and bottom-placed Ho Chi Minh City Youth – suffering defeats in Round 15.
