The path to defending the V.League championship of the Thien Truong home team is alarming when Hanoi FC is very close to Nam Dinh. Nam Dinh needs to have consecutive victories to ensure their safety on the road to conquering the V.League 2024/25. The 1-1 draw against Ho Chi Minh City Club in round 18 and continued to be held to a 0-0 draw by SHB Da Nang (the team at the bottom of the table) in round 19, making fans of Xuan Son's team worried. Currently, Nam Dinh is still leading with 36 points but the gap with the team behind, Hanoi FC, is only 2 points.
Hanoi FC's 3-0 victory at Binh Duong's Go Dau Stadium not only helped them extend their unbeaten streak to 7, but also proved the effectiveness of the playing style that coach Makoto Teguramori is building. With 34 points, the capital team is a real threat to Nam Dinh's ambition to win the championship and is also a challenge for teams wanting to get their hands on the championship trophy.
Round 20, Saturday (April 26), Nam Dinh Blue Steel will host Binh Duong with the "must win" order as they have drawn two consecutive matches against opponents considered weaker. Ho Chi Minh City Club and SHB Da Nang are two teams in the relegation group, but Nam Dinh has unfortunately lost points. If they do not win against Binh Duong, Nam Dinh could completely be leveled in points by the Capital team right after this round 20, when Hanoi hosts Quang Nam Club, considered weaker, at home (April 27).
Binh Duong's current form is showing signs of decline, coach Nguyen Cong Manh announced his resignation after the defeat to Hanoi FC. Binh Duong's dream of winning the V.League is now only in theory. While the away team is in turmoil, Nam Dinh needs to regain their spirit to have a decisive match at home, firmly holding 3 points to firmly lead the rankings, even though Hanoi FC is still chasing strongly.
Nam Dinh should remember that behind them are Thanh Hoa, The Cong, Cong An Ha Noi, and even Ha Tinh, who are also dreaming of winning the championship if they continue to win and Nam Dinh stumbles. Thanh Hoa is currently in 3rd place with 30 points, 6 points behind Nam Dinh, so their desire to conquer is still full. The first victory of the new coach
Steinbruckner with Thanh Hoa after a 13-match winless streak, a remarkable sign of revival and will be a threatening force to Nam Dinh and Hanoi FC.
Hanoi Police are currently ranked 5th and their inconsistent form is causing coach Mano Polking's team to lose steam. However, the victory over Hai Phong in the National Cup is a great motivation for Mr. Polking's team to return to the race. Hanoi Police are only 7 points behind Nam Dinh, so "nothing is impossible" to change the rankings. For example, in round 20, if Nam Dinh loses to Binh Duong and Hanoi Police wins consecutively, things will be difficult for Nam Dinh.
Looking at the rankings after round 19, it can be seen that the gap between the top teams is not too big. In the remaining 7 rounds, anything can happen, especially when the schedule is opening up a series of "early finals". After the match against Binh Duong, Nam Dinh continues to face challenges when playing away at Hang Day Stadium with Hanoi FC in round 21, and meeting Thanh Hoa in round 22 at home. These are truly "final matches" for Nam Dinh.
