SLNA vs Ninh Binh Prediction: Maintaining Top 3 Position

Against a supposedly weaker opponent, Ninh Binh aims to secure all three points in their away match against SLNA at 6 PM on May 16th, in Round 23 of the LPBank V-League 2025/26.

Before round 23 of the LPBank V-League, Ninh Binh was ranked 3rd with 41 points, 2 points more than Hanoi and 5 points behind The Cong Viettel . The team from the ancient capital of Hoa Lu is striving to finish in the top 3 this season.

To achieve that, Hoang Duc and his teammates must win against SLNA in this round. This is not a very difficult task for the V-League newcomers.

In the previous round, Ninh Binh secured a 2-1 victory against Hai Phong, boosting the players' morale. Despite playing away in this round, Ninh Binh is considered far superior in terms of both squad strength and form.

Meanwhile, SLNA has just suffered three consecutive defeats. The team from Nghe An is desperate for points to secure their survival in the league. However, against a strong opponent like Ninh Binh, aiming for one point is probably the most realistic goal for the team playing at Vinh Stadium.

In the other match on May 16th, Hai Phong did everything they could to win against Becamex Ho Chi Minh City, taking advantage of their home ground.
