Comments on Hanoi Police vs Hanoi FC, 19:15 on May 26: While there is life, there is hope

TPO - Football commentary Hanoi Police vs Hanoi FC, round 24 LPBank V-League 1-2024/25 at 7:15 p.m. on May 26. Update information on the forces and performance of the two teams before the match. Hanoi FC is determined to win against its city rival to chase Nam Dinh Blue Steel to the end.

Pre-match comments Hanoi Police vs Hanoi FC

The 0-3 defeat to Nam Dinh Steel Blue in round 21 left Hanoi FC's chance of winning the 2025 V-League championship only theoretical. After 23 rounds, the capital team was 5 points behind its opponent. This is not too big a gap, but the problem is that there are only 3 rounds left in the season. In other words, Nam Dinh could win the championship early today if Hanoi FC stumbles.

This scenario is entirely possible, because Nam Dinh Blue Steel will take the field at 6:00 p.m. and will only have to face the team at the bottom of the table, Song Lam Nghe An . If Nam Dinh wins the match, the temporary gap with Hanoi FC will be 8 points. At that time, coach Makoto Teguramori's team will have to beat Cong An Ha Noi to keep the team from Thanh Nam.

In any context, Hanoi FC will certainly still take the field with the highest determination. After many years of disappointment, Hanoi FC is facing the opportunity to affirm that they are the strongest team in the capital. Winning against Hanoi Police will not only help Hanoi FC continue to chase Nam Dinh, but also help them win at least the runner-up position in the 2024/25 season.

In all aspects, Hanoi FC is capable of overcoming Hanoi Police at this time. Coach Makoto Teguramori's team is in very good form. They have only lost 1/11 recent matches in the V-League (won 8, drawn 2). The Japanese strategist helps the purple team perform a style of play that is both beautiful and effective. The fast, low-touch, and technical style of play has helped a series of Hanoi FC stars "revive" and shine as expected.

In the loss to Nam Dinh, Hanoi FC was somewhat hasty and paid a heavy price. However, they quickly rose up with two impressive comebacks against Song Lam Nghe An and Ho Chi Minh City.

On the other hand, Hanoi Police have almost no chance of winning the V-League this season. Even though they have played 2 matches less than Nam Dinh, the police team is still 15 points behind their opponent. Their motivation for the remaining time of the V-League is a big question mark.

Furthermore, Hanoi Police have just returned from a bitter defeat against Buriram in the final of the 2025 Southeast Asian Cup C1. Coach Mano Polking's team led 2-0 until the 83rd minute, but were equalized 2-2 in the last minute before losing in the penalty shootout. Both physically exhausted and mentally down, it will be difficult for Hanoi Police to create a surprise against Hanoi FC.
