No more goals

The 1-1 draw against SHB Da Nang Youth FC in the previous round ended all hopes of PVF FC reclaiming a spot in the finals, as they only have 14 points. With their 4th place finish in the standings, PVF is now safe from relegation to the Second Division, being 7 points ahead of bottom-placed Phu Dong Youth FC with only one match remaining in the group stage.

Conversely, PVF is far behind the top two teams in Group A, Hanoi Youth Club and Hue Football Club, with gaps of 10 points and 8 points respectively. This leaves them with no chance of competing for a place in the final, regardless of the result of their final match against Hue Football Club on the afternoon of June 7th.

With a team lacking goals and motivation, PVF will either give up or give their all against Hue Football Club to put on a dedicated performance and show appreciation to their home fans. Given PVF's young team, the latter is more likely to happen.

Looking at PVF's journey this season, it's clear that their young strikers are trained in a structured environment, possessing good technical skills, a modern approach to football, and many individuals with great potential who were once considered contenders for promotion.

However, what this young team lacks is experience and composure on the field, causing them to lose their advantage at crucial moments, leading to their promotion goal becoming increasingly out of reach, especially in the second half of the season.

Waiting for the celebration from the Hue football team.

In contrast to PVF Club, although Hue Football Club had already secured a place in the final one round before the end of the group stage, finishing first in Group A remained their goal. Besides extending their unbeaten streak in the second half of the season and maintaining the team's high morale, this would also give the team from the ancient capital an advantage as they would only have to face the second-placed team in Group B in the final round.

After 11 matches in the Second Division, Hue Football Club has earned 22 points with 6 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss. While the team from the ancient capital often struggled with finishing in the first half of the season, they have presented a completely different image in the second half with an unbeaten streak of 4 wins and 1 draw, along with an impressive scoring record of 14 goals and only 3 goals conceded.

Throughout the second half of the season, in addition to their ball control, the team from the ancient capital also demonstrated seamless coordination between their lines, and diversity and effectiveness in both defensive and offensive strategies.

Under the guidance of coach Le Chi Nguyen, the white-shirted strikers are increasingly showing maturity, a fierce fighting spirit, and a determination to be promoted. "The lessons learned from the first half of the season have helped them become calmer, more resilient, and most importantly, they have learned how to overcome difficulties," coach Le Chi Nguyen shared.

Returning to the match at PVF Stadium, the Hue team is currently 2 points behind the leading team, Hanoi Youth Club. While Hanoi Youth Club has completed its round of matches, Hue Football Club still has a game against PVF. If they win, Coach Le Chi Nguyen's team will take the lead in Group A. This is a significant advantage before entering the final round with a bracket format: Group A winner - Group B runner-up, Group B winner - Group A runner-up.

Hue Football Club is considered to have the edge in terms of experience, form, and motivation. Meanwhile, PVF, despite possessing impressive technical skills, still lacks composure and match experience – factors that Hue Football Club can exploit to secure all three points in a match with an open style of play and exciting, dramatic comebacks.

Prior to the match between PVF Club and Hue Football Club, the 2026 National Second Division League had already found 3 out of 4 teams that will compete in the final round, including: Hanoi Youth Club, Hue Football Club and Lam Dong Football Club.
