A major challenge for HAGL Club.

Prior to Round 7 of the V-League 2024-2025, eight teams at the top of the standings are separated by a maximum of only two points. Three teams are tied with 11 points: Hanoi Police FC, Thanh Hoa FC, and The Cong Viettrel FC; three teams are tied with 10 points: Binh Duong FC, Ha Tinh FC, and Nam Dinh FC; and two teams are tied with 9 points: HAGL FC and Hanoi FC. The six teams further down the table are also separated by only three points, equivalent to one win, creating an unpredictable race.

Hanoi Police team is considered the favorite when playing away at Pleiku Stadium against HAGL Club.

At 5 PM today at Pleiku Stadium (live on VTV5 andFPT Play), the match between HAGL FC (9 points, 7th place) and the league leaders, Hanoi Police FC (11 points), will take place. This is a crucial match for both teams, as the winner will maintain their advantage in the top group, while the loser risks being overtaken by their rivals. After a series of impressive matches, HAGL FC recently suffered a 1-4 defeat against Binh Duong FC, revealing several weaknesses that coach Mano Polking's team has undoubtedly identified. Meanwhile, former champions Hanoi Police FC have shown good form with several key players, especially the effectiveness of their foreign duo, Leonardo and Alan. Therefore, despite playing away at Pleiku Stadium, Nguyen Quang Hai and his teammates are considered the favorites and are highly likely to secure all three points.

HAGL players are striving to bounce back after their loss to Binh Duong FC in the previous round.

At 6 PM at Hoa Xuan Stadium (live on FPT Play and HTV Sports), bottom-of-the-table Da Nang FC (3 points) will host Binh Duong FC (10 points, 4th place). Having easily won the First Division and secured promotion, Da Nang FC has struggled against tough V-League teams due to a lack of significant squad improvement. Facing a Binh Duong FC currently in good form, Da Nang will need to focus on defense and build a tight game to avoid defeat. Nguyen Tien Linh and Binh Duong FC are aiming for a win to remain in contention for the top spot. Tien Linh himself also aims to maintain his position in the top scorer race, currently leading with 6 goals.

Nguyen Tien Linh (right) and Binh Duong FC are determined to win all 3 points against newcomer Da Nang.

Nguyen Van Quyet and Hanoi FC promise to win at home when they host Hai Phong FC.

At 7:15 PM at Hang Day Stadium (live on FPT Play and TV360), the match between Hanoi FC (9 points, 8th place) and Hai Phong FC (3 points, 13th place) will take place. This is expected to be an exciting match as Hanoi FC still maintains its dominance as a top team in the V-League, while Hai Phong FC, although at the bottom of the table, has the potential to spring a surprise. Being forced into a relegation battle only fuels the determination of the Hai Phong players. The most realistic goal for coach Chu Dinh Nghiem's ​​team when playing away at Hang Day Stadium is to earn at least one point.
