While the bottom-placed teams had to play the aforementioned "final" match to avoid relegation, the "big battle" between The Cong and Hanoi Police (the team that received the championship trophy) at Thien Truong Stadium was also worth noting.
The Thể Công club will need at least a draw to officially secure second place regardless of the result of Ninh Bình 's match (considering tie-breaking criteria, Ninh Bình would rank above Thể Công if the two teams had the same number of points).
Similarly, Ninh Binh FC also needs at least 1 point to secure third place overall, and if they win all 3 points, they could also finish second if The Cong fails to score any points in their match against Hanoi Police.
Facing Hong Linh Ha Tinh FC, this is considered a not-too-difficult task for Ninh Binh FC. With the home advantage and the leadership of a "warrior" like Chu Dinh Nghiem, Ninh Binh is highly likely to secure all three points, concluding their impressive debut season in the V.League.

Playing at their home ground, Hang Day Stadium, Hanoi FC (currently ranked 4th) is also considered slightly better than Ho Chi Minh City Police FC – the team ranked just behind them but 10 points behind. The scenario of finishing third is still possible for Hanoi FC if they win and hope Ninh Binh FC slips up .
Coach Harry Kewell not only has a squad of consistently high-quality players and more stars, but their overall performance throughout the season is also better than that of Ho Chi Minh City Police. However, having just had a streak of three draws (against Da Nang, Ninh Binh, and The Cong), the visiting team – led by coach Phung Thanh Phuong – can still aim for points if they maintain stability and consistency in their playing style.

The final match at Lach Tray Stadium between Hai Phong and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh was also quite interesting as they were competing for the last place. However, with 3 points more, former champions Nam Dinh only needed a draw to secure their 6th place. Overall, it was a fairly balanced match, as Hai Phong, despite their poor form towards the end of the season, had the advantage of playing at home.
