In theory, HAGL (ranked 8th in the rankings, 27 points), still has the possibility of being relegated or having to play the play-off because they are 7 points ahead of the two bottom teams, Binh Dinh and SHB Da Nang, while LPBank V-League has 3 more rounds to go.

However, it is very unlikely that HAGL will fall into a dangerous situation because their current position and the gap in points with the "red lantern" group is quite safe. HAGL even plays the role of "judge" when facing teams competing for the championship or relegation.

HAGL needs points to stay in the league successfully.

This round, HAGL will host SHB Da Nang - the team with the highest risk of relegation. This match is considered a "reverse final", which can decide many situations at the same time.

If they win or get 1 point, HAGL will successfully stay in the league with 2 rounds to go. With such an important nature, the team from the mountain town used young players in the match against Thep Xanh Nam Dinh in the previous round to save energy for the pillars, leading to a heavy 1-6 defeat.

Coach Le Quang Trai has to "choose his opponents" to prepare for the decisive match with SHB Da Nang. This is the most important match of the season for Minh Vuong and his teammates.

On the other side of the battle line, SHB Da Nang understands that if they lose, they will be very close to the ticket to the First Division. The efforts of the Han River team in recent times are very commendable. They won against 2 direct opponents, Binh Dinh and Quang Nam, at times escaping the bottom position of the rankings.

But coach Le Duc Tuan's team must do better because any mistake or failure at this point will cost them dearly.
