V-League relegation scenario: Last chance for Binh Dinh, Da Nang

After round 25 of LPBank V-League, Nam Dinh Blue Steel successfully defended the championship, while Hanoi FC is sure to stand in 2nd place. The bronze medal will be a competition between CAHN and The Cong Viettel .

The final round of V-League (round 26) is only concerned with the relegation battle. Currently, there are 3 teams at risk of receiving relegation tickets: Quang Nam, SHB Da Nang and Binh Dinh.

Among these three teams, Quang Nam has the advantage of being in 12th place with 25 points, 3 points more than SHB Da Nang and 4 points more than Binh Dinh, so it is not directly relegated, but still has the possibility of having to play the play-off.

If in the last round, coach Van Sy Son's team does not lose to HAGL or SHB Da Nang does not win against SLNA, they will stay in the league. In case Quang Nam loses the last round and SHB Da Nang wins, the Quang Nam team will play a play-off match with the second-placed team in the First Division, Binh Phuoc or PVF-CAND.

SHB Da Nang's case is more risky. This team can only stay in the league if they win against SLNA, and Quang Nam loses to HAGL.

Another possibility is that SHB Da Nang has the same number of points as Binh Dinh (21 points) in the last round, but receives a ticket to the play-off match because of a better head-to-head record than the team from the land of Vo (winning 3-1 and 2-0 in the first and second legs).

The team with the highest risk of direct relegation is Binh Dinh. In the final round, coach Tran Minh Chien and his team will host Hanoi FC at home. They can only win a play-off ticket if they beat Hanoi FC and SHB Da Nang loses to SLNA. If Binh Dinh draws or loses, they will be directly relegated.
