V-League 'on fire' at Go Dau stadium
Round 9 is one of the first turns of V-League 2024 - 2025, because after this round, the teams will enter a break lasting nearly 2 months to make room for the Vietnamese team to play in the AFF Cup 2024. Therefore, every team wants to put all their efforts into getting good results, in order to have a favorable ranking and psychological momentum before calculating for the next stage.
The match between Binh Duong Club and Nam Dinh Club at Go Dau Stadium at 6:00 p.m. today (November 20) is the most notable confrontation of round 9. Binh Duong Club is in a series of unstable matches. Having just won resoundingly against HAGL at home, Coach Hoang Anh Tuan's students drew with Da Nang (1-1) despite having more players, then lost 0-1 to Hanoi.
Binh Duong Club only won 1 of the last 4 matches
Despite heavy investment, the team from the land of Thu is still hovering around the middle of the table. The gap with the top spot is not too big (6 points), however, if they continue to lose points, Binh Duong Club will soon be left behind by the top group.
Binh Duong’s mainstay in the match against Nam Dinh is Go Dau Stadium. At their “home”, Nguyen Tien Linh and his teammates have earned 7 points after the first 3 matches of the tournament (2 wins, 1 draw), scoring 8 goals and conceding only 2. However, the home team Binh Duong needs to be careful with Nam Dinh, because the reigning V-League champion has recovered with 2 recent away wins.
After a difficult start, Nam Dinh FC has returned to the winning track. In the last 4 matches, coach Vu Hong Viet's students have won all, scoring 13 goals against their opponents. The attack line is very strong with Nguyen Xuan Son, Hendrio Araujo, plus the domestic players Van Vi and Hoang Anh, all of whom are "in form", helping Nam Dinh FC have many attacking solutions.
Will Nam Dinh Club get 3 points at Go Dau?
As both teams are desperate for points to secure a top spot before the break, the match between Binh Duong and Nam Dinh will be worth watching.
Thanh Hoa Club keeps the top position?
The top team Thanh Hoa has 17 points after 8 matches, 1 point more than the second team Nam Dinh. In this round, while Nam Dinh faces Binh Duong, Thanh Hoa FC will play at home to welcome the bottom team Da Nang.
With the difference in strength and the rising spirit of a 9-match unbeaten streak, Thanh Hoa Club is capable of defeating its opponent to defend its top position. However, a misstep will cause coach Velizar Popov's students to be pressed by the group behind, because the gap between the teams is not far. The match will take place at 6 p.m. today (November 20).
Thanh Hoa Club has a bright chance to keep the top position
At 5pm, Ha Tinh FC will play at home to welcome Ho Chi Minh City. After 8 matches, Ha Tinh is the last team in the V-League to remain undefeated (3 wins, 5 draws). The scientific and effective defensive counter-attacking style of play helps the Central representative fly high.
However, Ho Chi Minh City FC is also a potential opponent. Coach Phung Thanh Phuong's team won against Hanoi Police FC (CAHN CLB) in the previous round to end the series of bad matches. With a relieved mentality, the away team is capable of taking at least 1 point if they play to their full potential.
At 7:15 p.m., CAHN FC will play at home against Binh Dinh FC. Two consecutive defeats are weighing heavily on coach Alexandre Polking and his team. The former V-League champion must win to escape the crisis.
