V-League match schedule today: Championship candidates take to the field, extremely hot at Thong Nhat Stadium

Defending V-League champion Nam Dinh thirsts for victory

At 6pm, reigning V-League champions Nam Dinh will begin their title defence against Hai Phong FC at Thien Truong Stadium. After the defeat to Hanoi Police FC in the National Super Cup, coach Vu Hong Viet and his team will definitely want to win to "compensate" for their home fans.

Nam Dinh FC is of course rated higher with superior force, possessing the most valuable squad in V-League this season. The fact that the new players are integrating well, especially the 2.06 m tall striker Kyle Hudlin, who scored a double in the National Super Cup, makes Nam Dinh FC more confident. However, they should not be subjective because Hai Phong FC is not an easy opponent. The port city team has lost its number 1 striker Lucao, but also brought in Joel Tagueu, a striker who played well for Hanoi FC, and improved the defense with center back Luiz Antonio. Therefore, Hai Phong FC is still very dangerous under the hands of coach Chu Dinh Nghiem and is ready to create surprises.

The Great War in Thong Nhat

The remaining match on August 16 will take place at 7:15 p.m. at Thong Nhat Stadium, with the match between the Ho Chi Minh City Police Club and the Hanoi team. This is one of the key matches of the first round, with the participation of two championship candidates.

For many years, Hanoi FC has always been in the group competing for the throne. They have maintained a quality domestic squad with a series of players such as Duy Manh, Thanh Chung, Hung Dung, Van Quyet, Hai Long, Xuan Manh... This season, the capital team no longer uses unstable foreign players from Europe, but instead uses Brazilian foreign players, who have always adapted well to the V-League. Therefore, Hanoi FC's performance is worth waiting for, especially when Japanese coach Makoto Teguramori helps the purple team gradually perfect their playing style.

Meanwhile, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Club also received much attention. Former football star Le Huynh Duc, the main striker of the Ho Chi Minh City Police team, was invited to be the head coach and is also highly expected by fans to make a mark on the team where he spent his entire youth as a player. In addition, the presence of Tien Linh and many other quality players also helped the Ho Chi Minh City Police Club become the 4th most valuable team in the V-League, considered capable of competing for the throne.

Therefore, the match between Ho Chi Minh City Police Club and Hanoi team will be extremely attractive. Both want to win all 3 points, thereby affirming their ambitions.
