Comments on Ho Chi Minh City Police vs Ha Tinh

After 6 matches, Ho Chi Minh City Police have 13 points and are currently ranked 3rd on the rankings. Coach Le Huynh Duc and his team are 4 points behind the top team Ninh Binh but have one match left to play. Facing Ha Tinh, Ho Chi Minh City Police cannot miss the opportunity to win 3 more points.

Ho Chi Minh City Police is gradually shaping its player base and playing ideas under the guidance of Coach Huynh Duc. No longer an upstart, Ho Chi Minh City Police is asserting its position as a team with the strength to compete for a position in the top 3. Especially when playing at home, Huynh Duc's team is ready to challenge everyone in the V.League.

On the other hand, Ha Tinh has not found stability in V.League 2024/25. With limited force and difficulties in the initial stage of coach transfer, Ha Tinh has no bigger goal than trying to gain points in each match. Despite the difficulties, Ha Tinh still has 8 points after 6 matches, ranking 7th and this is not a bad achievement.

Prioritizing solid defense to keep at least one point is Ha Tinh's strategy. In the last 3 matches, Nguyen Cong Manh and his team drew 2 and lost 1. Ha Tinh's pragmatism is shown by the fact that they won 2, drew 2 and lost 2 after 6 matches. Both of this team's victories had minimal scores.
