Comments before the match The Cong Viettel vs Cong An Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City Police Club continues to have the ambition to "transform" in the 2025/26 season. They have just announced another extremely high-quality rookie, Raphael Schorr Utzig. His value on the transfer market is very high, 1 million USD, a detail that shows the Southern Club's willingness to spend in this year's campaign. In the list of 4 most expensive foreign players LPBank V.League 1-2025/26 , Ho Chi Minh City Police accounts for 2 (Matheus Felipe and Schorr Utzig).

Ho Chi Minh City Police are very excited for this match. On the opening day of the new season, this club defeated Hanoi FC, the leading candidate for the championship. The pillars of the club spoke up at the right time. Tien Linh opened the score for Ho Chi Minh City Police, Patrik Le Giang continuously flew to keep the advantage for the team.

What is happening really brings bad signals for The Cong Viettel when they have to welcome one of the rising forces in this year's campaign.

Form, history of confrontation The Cong Viettel vs Cong An Ho Chi Minh City

On the other side of the front line, The Cong Viettel actually added quite a few new faces. But they mainly invested in overseas Vietnamese players. This club owns 4 new players with mixed bloodlines. But besides Kyle Colonna, the remaining name is still a big question mark.

The performance of the army team on the opening day somewhat brought worries to the fans. This team took the lead thanks to a moment of opportunity from Lucao, the only new face with 100% Vietnamese blood in the summer of 2025. After that, they had to endure a series of attacks from CAHN. The midfield without Duc Chien was really a problem for The Cong Viettel when Xuan Tien, Huu Thang or Nata were not enough to bring great resistance to stop CAHN.

Today's match promises to be another difficult scenario for The Cong Viettel. But the home field can become a support for them. The Cong Viettel is unbeaten at home in the last 6 matches, winning 4 of them. On the other side of the front line, Ho Chi Minh City Police is quite afraid of trips to the capital. In the last 3 matches against clubs headquartered in Hanoi, they did not win any, lost 2 and only scored a total of 1 goal.

But that was when Ho Chi Minh City Police was still Ho Chi Minh City Club with a more modest potential than it is now. Now with a new name and many new faces, perhaps Ho Chi Minh City Police will perform better.
