CAHN vs Thanh Hoa Prediction: Welcoming the New Champion

CAHN only needs a draw against Thanh Hoa in Round 23 of the LPBank V-League 2025/26 at 7:15 PM on May 17th to lift the championship trophy three rounds early.

In the LPBank V-League standings, CAHN is 11 points ahead of The Cong Viettel (ranked 2nd). With such a comfortable lead, the police team has almost secured the championship trophy.

Coach Polking's team could even clinch the title in this round with just a draw against Thanh Hoa . Even a loss would see CAHN crowned champions if The Cong Viettel were to lose to Thep Xanh Nam Dinh at Thien Truong Stadium. This scenario is entirely possible, as securing one point is not difficult for CAHN, while The Cong Viettel faces a tough away game.

However, CAHN certainly wants their coronation day to be meaningful. Dinh Bac and his teammates are determined to defeat Thanh Hoa.

Of course, CAHN cannot be complacent because Thanh Hoa is showing unpredictability. In the previous round, they unexpectedly defeated strong opponent Hanoi FC. With high spirits, the Thanh Hoa team is not afraid of their opponent in the away match at Hang Day Stadium.

In this match, CAHN was without Mauk Stefan due to suspension, while Nguyen Quang Hai's participation was uncertain due to injury. Notably, coach Polking was unable to directly coach the players due to accumulating too many yellow cards.

Despite not having a full squad, the match against Thanh Hoa is a good opportunity for CAHN to secure the championship early, and the police team is doing everything they can to win the title.

In the remaining matches, the clash between Nam Dinh Green Steel and Viettel The Cong is also highly anticipated. While the home team has nothing left to play for, Viettel The Cong desperately needs a win to maintain their second place position in the standings.

At their home ground in Pleiku, HAGL aims to secure three points against Ha Tinh, while PVF-CAND faces a tough challenge hosting Hanoi FC.
