Nam Dinh vs HAGL Prediction: Closer to the throne

Nam Dinh Club will move closer to the 2025 V-League championship if they beat HAGL in the match taking place at 6:00 p.m. this afternoon (May 18).

After defeating Hanoi FC in the "early final" of LPBank V-League (round 21), Nam Dinh Blue Steel is racing towards the finish line. They no longer have any truly formidable opponents ahead.

Although not subjective, it is clear that coach Vu Hong Viet's team defending the championship is only a matter of time. The home team at Thien Truong Stadium can even win the championship 1-2 rounds early.

This round, Nam Dinh Blue Steel welcomes HAGL . The away team needs points to ensure their relegation, but Minh Vuong and his teammates will find it difficult to do so. Nam Dinh Blue Steel not only has home field advantage, is rated much higher in terms of form and strength, but also has great motivation.

Can HAGL stop Nam Dinh Green Steel?

Compared to HAGL's inconsistent performance, Nam Dinh Blue Steel is unbeaten in 11 consecutive matches in V-League and has an extremely strong attack.

HAGL continues to be without midfielder Chau Ngoc Quang, and Cao Hoang Minh is also out of action due to suspension. In addition, key defender Ly Duc has yet to return. Meanwhile, Thep Xanh Nam Dinh has a full squad.

In the first leg of this season, Nam Dinh Steel Blue drew 0-0 with HAGL, but the situation was completely different when the two teams played again in the second leg. The team from the mountain town also did not have a good record on away field, losing 4/5 of their most recent matches.

Nam Dinh Green Steel is very close to the Championship Cup.

By defeating HAGL, Thep Xanh Nam Dinh has 48 points. They only need to focus on their task in each round and probably do not need to care about the opponents chasing behind. In other words, if coach Vu Hong Viet's team plays at their best and gets maximum points, they will successfully defend the championship.

In the remaining two matches, Binh Dinh is very thirsty for points in the relegation race, welcoming The Cong Viettel . This is the match where coach Tran Minh Chien makes his debut for the team from the land of Vo. At Hang Day Stadium, Hanoi FC is determined to win all 3 points against Ho Chi Minh City, continuing to nurture the hope of winning the championship.
