V-League match schedule today: Nam Dinh approaches historic milestone, SLNA unlikely to create shock

As V-League is entering its final rounds, Nam Dinh Club is still maintaining its extremely impressive form to single-handedly accelerate towards its second consecutive championship.

With 5 points more than the second-placed team in the V-League, coach Vu Hong Viet and his team will officially be crowned champions in round 24 if they defeat SLNA and Hanoi FC fails to beat Hanoi Police FC (CAHN). It is not surprising that most predictions point to a victory for Nam Dinh FC, against SLNA who are caught up in the relegation race. The gap between them is not only 11 places on the rankings and 25 points (48 points compared to 23 points), but also the contrast in form, personnel and spirit. Although SLNA plays at Vinh Stadium, they are still considered inferior to the visiting team Nam Dinh FC, who are on a 4-match winning streak.

Coach Vu Hong Viet is creating a powerful team, where Brenner combines with Van Toan, Van Vi and Hoang Anh to play flexibly. In particular, the Caio - Romulo duo has become a perfect pair in the middle of the field, suffocating the midfield, helping Nam Dinh Club quickly break the opponent's intention to develop the ball. Coach Vu Hong Viet's 4-2-3-1 formation will help the team from Thanh Nam confidently set up an overwhelming game in search of another victory to put pressure on Hanoi Club. The match between the home team SLNA and Nam Dinh will take place at 6:00 p.m. on May 26.

V-League has 2 Korean referees

After the defeat in the final of the Southeast Asian Club Championship, the season of CAHN Club is considered... completed because there are no more specific goals. The fact that coach Mano Polking agreed to let his stars not participate in the 2 V-League make-up matches on May 30 and June 3 is proof of this. However, the immediate future of CAHN Club will be a decisive match with their city rivals, where honor and pride will need to be placed at the highest level. A victory to ruin the intention of chasing, causing Hanoi Club to officially give up the championship race will still be a source of happiness, helping CAHN Club somewhat ease the unfortunate defeat in Thailand a few days ago.

On the other hand, Hanoi FC will certainly fight for honor as well as a victory that will help them prevent Nam Dinh FC from being crowned early. After the defeat in the "early final" match in round 21, coach Teguramori Makoto helped Hanoi FC have 2 consecutive victories against SLNA and Ho Chi Minh City. In this match, the purple team will not have the service of young midfielder Van Truong, but their determination will not change. In terms of form, the foreign players of CAHN FC are better than Hanoi FC. Let's wait and see if Quang Hai and Viet Anh, when meeting their old team Hanoi, will indirectly help Nam Dinh FC be crowned early or not?
