TPO - Football commentary Hanoi Police vs Ho Chi Minh City Police, LPBank V.League 1-2025/26 - Information on forces, expected lineup, performance, history of confrontation. CAHN and Ho Chi Minh City Police are competing for positions in the Top 2 on the rankings.

There, the winning team can continue to fly high while the losing team will fall behind.

Pre-match comments Hanoi Police vs Ho Chi Minh City Police

CAHN is in pretty good form. The force is not very thick, and they have to compete on many fronts, but they still maintain a high level of stability. Meanwhile, CAHCMC only has to compete on one front, so they certainly have more advantage than their opponents in terms of rest time.

However, since the beginning of the campaign, CA TPHCM has not really exploded. This team is ranked 5th on the rankings but surely the fans expect a better result because in the recent matches, it feels like they have not done a good job of scoring goals.

After 7 matches, CA TPHCM has only scored 9 goals against its opponents. Although it is ranked 5th in the rankings, in terms of total goals, this team is near the bottom. With names like Tien Linh, Raphael Utzig or Endrick, CA TPHCM must do better.

Will CAHN overwhelm its opponents?

Form, history of confrontation between Hanoi Police and Ho Chi Minh City Police

Both teams have performed well recently. In their last 5 appearances, CA TPHCM has not lost any matches with 3 wins and 2 draws. The points gained against weaker opponents have helped this team take full advantage of the opportunity to rise to 5th place in the rankings.

However, it must be admitted that in big matches, CA TPHCM often loses to its opponents. Against Viettel, this team easily lost 0-3. Besides that, there were heavy losses against Hanoi FC or Nam Dinh last season.

When playing away, the Southern team's form is not really stable. That is an obstacle for them to dream in today's meeting, against a CAHN that is clearly more stable and explosive. However, the home team will certainly have to solve the remaining problem in the defense when they lost their number 1 goalkeeper Nguyen Filip for 2 months and CAHN's reserve goalkeeper has never been highly appreciated.

Besides, other positions of CAHN are also physically exhausted due to having to work hard in many arenas. Coach Mano Polking will have to consider how to use Alan, Artur, Quang Hai or Thanh Long appropriately when they have continuously had to play at a frequency of 4 days/match in the past time.

Expected lineup Hanoi Police vs Ho Chi Minh City Police

CAHN: Thanh Vinh, Ly Duc, Dinh Trong, Tuan Duong, Van Do, Stefan Mauk, Quang Hai, Thanh Long, Dinh Bac, Alan, Leo Artur.

HCMC Police Department : Patrik Le Giang, Kha Duc, Matheus, Gia Bao, Quang Hung, Duc Huy, Makrillos, Viet Hoang, Duc Phu, Williams, Tien Linh.

Score prediction: Hanoi Police 2-1 Ho Chi Minh City Police
