Hanoi FC determined to get 3 points

On the evening of April 26, coach Vu Hong Viet and his team won a convincing 3-1 victory at home against Becamex Binh Duong. Thus, Hanoi FC must also win against Quang Nam, otherwise they will be left behind by Nam Dinh.

At Hang Day Stadium, Hanoi FC, with 34 points, will definitely be determined to win against Quang Nam, thereby continuing to put pressure on Nam Dinh in the championship race. To some extent, it can be said that the new head coach Makoto is a timely choice for the capital team in phase 2.

The resounding 3-0 victory over Binh Duong right on the opponent's field showed that their "machine" is almost running smoothly again. Therefore, although they held their opponent to a 1-1 draw in the first leg, Quang Nam will still be clearly underestimated in this rematch when playing away.

At Pleiku Stadium, Hoang Anh Gia Lai faced Hai Phong in a relatively “equal” match in terms of strength and overall form. However, if we only count from the beginning of the second leg until now, Hoang Anh Gia Lai is clearly at a disadvantage (1 win, 1 draw, 4 losses) compared to its opponent (4 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses).

In the most recent round, Hoang Anh Gia Lai lost at home against Ha Tinh (lost 0-1), a match that left many controversies on the sidelines (after that, both the team leader and the technical director of the mountain town team were disciplined and banned from performing their duties); meanwhile, the port city team is showing good form when defeating Binh Dinh to increase their advantage in the relegation race (temporarily rising to 8th place). Losing 0-2 in the first leg, can Hoang Anh Gia Lai reclaim that "debt" in the current disadvantageous context?

Da Nang, the team at the bottom of the table and 5 points behind the team right above them, Binh Dinh, will meet Dong A Thanh Hoa in a match that is considered “adversity” because… happiness cannot be shared. If Da Nang wins, they will continue to hope to stay in the league, but that will cause Thanh Hoa to lose the 3rd place that they just reclaimed from The Cong.

On the contrary, if Thanh Hoa wins, the risk of the Han River team will increase or at least will remain the same (if Binh Dinh also loses in this round). The efforts of coach Le Duc Tuan and his team have been shown in the last 2 draws against Binh Duong and Nam Dinh (all stronger opponents). Now, as the tournament is getting closer and closer to the end, they are very eager to have another victory. But Thanh Hoa, the team that just won against The Cong, is clearly a stronger opponent. Therefore, the more practical goal for Da Nang is probably still to "get points" to maintain the hope of chasing, while hoping to be able to decide for themselves when meeting direct opponent Binh Dinh after 1 round.

The latest match of round 20 between Binh Dinh and Hanoi Police will take place on June 3.
