HAGL gradually improves

Round 10 of V-League 2025-2026 begins with two early matches taking place on November 4.

Hoang Anh Gia Lai Club (HAGL) will have a difficult trip to Hong Linh Ha Tinh home field (6 p.m.) and Hanoi Club will welcome "newcomer" PVF-CAND at Hang Day at 7:15 p.m. (FPT Play).

Unbeaten in the last two rounds, including one win, HAGL Club, although still unable to escape the bottom of the rankings, is no longer far behind the group above in terms of points. The mountain town team is only 2 points away from the top 8 and has one match left to play.

In the last two matches, coach Le Quang Trai's team has brought home 4 goals. Notably, the player with the best scoring efficiency of HAGL at the moment is 19-year-old talent Nguyen Minh Tam, with 2 goals after 5 appearances. In the last rounds, HAGL continued to introduce potential faces such as Dinh Quang Kiet, Nguyen Van Trieu, Tran Gia Bao, Cao Hoang Minh, Tran Gia Huy and Nguyen Minh Tam... The group of self-trained young players gradually showed progress, played steadily through each match, and were considered the next generation to inherit the HAGL first team in the next season.

Despite the improvement in tactics, the Pleiku home team also needs to tighten their squad to aim for relegation at the end of this season. The away match against Ha Tinh in round 10 is predicted to be a difficult challenge for coach Le Quang Trai and his team. If they win 3 points after this match, HAGL will certainly have a "wide door" to escape the bottom two teams.

Meanwhile, despite having changed head coach twice this season, Hanoi FC has yet to regain its position as a championship candidate. The attacking football philosophy of strategist Harry Kewell has yet to be grasped by his new students. The encounter with PVF-CAND in round 10 is an opportunity for Mr. Kewell and his team to test their personnel as well as their ability to operate attacking tactics, regaining their inherent competitive identity.
