Fiery capital derby

At 6 PM, Binh Dinh FC will host Ho Chi Minh City FC at Quy Nhon Stadium. This will be an exciting battle of wits between two highly successful strategists from last season's V-League: Bui Doan Quang Huy and Phung Thanh Phuong. They respectively led their teams to second and fourth place last season, despite not possessing particularly strong squads.

Binh Dinh Club suffered a disappointing defeat in the first round.

This season, both Binh Dinh FC and Ho Chi Minh City FC have experienced changes in their squads. However, they remain cohesive teams, excelling in counter-attacking defense. This was partly demonstrated in Round 1, where Binh Dinh FC only lost 0-1 to Hanoi FC after a moment of individual brilliance from Nguyen Van Quyet, while Ho Chi Minh City FC drew 0-0 against The Cong Viettel , a team featuring many national team players. Therefore, the match in Quy Nhon will reveal which team is more resilient.

Ho Chi Minh City FC will be playing away at Quy Nhon Stadium.

At the same time as this match, Da Nang FC will clash with Ha Tinh FC at Hoa Xuan Stadium. The V-League newcomers are desperate for points after a draw against SLNA, so they will be extremely determined to win playing at home. Meanwhile, Ha Tinh FC are in high spirits after defeating the reigning champions Nam Dinh . Furthermore, this season, Coach Nguyen Thanh Cong's squad has significantly improved in quality and is considered a potential "dark horse," so the home team must be extremely cautious.

Hanoi FC secured a victory in their opening match of the 2024-2025 V-League season.

The highlight match of Round 2 on September 22nd, and indeed this round, is the Hanoi derby between The Cong Viettel and Hanoi FC. The military team will be playing at their new home stadium, My Dinh, for the first time. They certainly won't want to lose in such a significant match. Coach Nguyen Duc Thang's team will also be hoping for their first win after being held to a draw at Thong Nhat Stadium in Round 1.

Bui Tien Dung (4) will still be a key player in the defense of The Cong Viettel Club.

At the beginning of this season, the former The Cong player also declared that his and his players' goal was to win the championship, and a victory against Hanoi FC would be the strongest affirmation of that goal. Meanwhile, coach Le Duc Tuan would somewhat quell doubts about his abilities if he secured all three points against The Cong Viettel FC. Many believe that Hanoi FC's 1-0 victory against Binh Dinh was unconvincing because the Binh Dinh team suffered too many personnel losses, losing almost all of their key players.

And a match with so much significance for both teams like that is bound to be exciting in the V-League!
