SLNA vs Nam Dinh Prediction: Scenario to lift the Cup early

In round 24 of LPBank V-League, Nam Dinh Blue Steel has a chance to win the championship 2 rounds early. Accordingly, if the team from Thanh Nam (48 points) wins 1-3 points, and Hanoi FC (43 points) loses to CAHN in the capital derby at Hang Day, coach Vu Hong Viet's team will successfully defend the championship.

The necessary condition for Nam Dinh Green Steel is not too difficult a task, because they are rated much higher than SLNA. If they can defeat their opponent, the defending champion will wait for the best scenario to happen in the match between CAHN vs Hanoi FC.

In case Nam Dinh Blue Steel wins SLNA, and Hanoi FC also wins, the championship race is still undecided, but it is very difficult for a surprise to happen in the last 2 rounds, because Van Vi and his teammates will face weak opponents and have a 5-point gap compared to Hanoi FC.

Of course, Nam Dinh Blue Steel cannot be complacent because SLNA is in a dangerous situation and cannot lose. The Nghe An team will certainly do everything to successfully stay in the league.

Before this round, Nam Dinh Blue Steel had 12 consecutive unbeaten matches in the V-League. SLNA has reason to believe in winning points against the top team of the V-League. This season, they have shown very good form at home when they won 5 matches, drew 2 matches and lost 1 match. In the last 4 meetings, SLNA and Nam Dinh Blue Steel have both won 1 match, the remaining 2 matches ended in a draw.

If SLNA can create a surprise, this will give Hanoi FC more hope of "coming back" to win the championship. But the opponent of the capital team this round is not easy: Southeast Asian Club Cup runner-up CAHN.

If Hanoi FC "still has life, still has hope", CAHN still has a chance and is in the top 3, even surpassing their city rivals to take 2nd place overall, because coach Polking and his team still have 2 make-up matches against Binh Duong and Binh Dinh. Thus, if they do well against Hanoi FC and the 2 make-up matches, CAHN can pocket up to 9 points.
