The two clubs Quang Nam, SHB Da Nang and Quy Nhon Binh Dinh only have the last chance at 5pm today (June 22) to avoid 1.5 relegation spots. If they do not lose to the host HAGL, Quang Nam Club (25 points) will successfully stay in the league regardless of the results of the remaining 2 matches of SHB Da Nang (22 points) and Quy Nhon Binh Dinh (21 points).
Quang Nam Club cannot be subjective
Quang Nam (25 points) is the team with the advantage in the relegation race because if they only draw with the host Hoang Anh Gia Lai (HAGL), they will no longer have the motivation to compete because they will be relegated soon. In addition, HAGL also wants to give young players the opportunity to try their hand and mature.
But Quang Nam FC cannot be complacent, because HAGL is facing a lot of pressure from home fans after the disappointing loss at Vinh Stadium in the previous round. In this match, HAGL leads Song Lam Nghe An (SLNA) 2-0 and has the advantage of one more player.
But in the end, HAGL lost 2-3, helping SLNA stay in the league. After the match, HAGL fans reacted strongly on the club's official fan page, claiming that their team deliberately lost in the second half to help their opponents. Many even announced that they would stop watching and supporting the team.
After SLNA, HAGL will now have another sensitive match with their opponent, Quang Nam, who is also competing to avoid relegation. Surely HAGL will have to play their best to regain the trust of the fans. Especially in the farewell match for 4 key players Minh Vuong, Chau Ngoc Quang, Dung Quang Nho, Bao Toan, in order to have a truly meaningful gratitude ceremony after the match.

The fight for survival
In fact, SHB Da Nang (Da Nang) and Quy Nhon Binh Dinh (Binh Dinh) will have to compete for a place in the play-off match to win the right to stay in the league. In this match, Binh Dinh has a 99% chance of being relegated. Defeating Hanoi FC at Quy Nhon's home ground is an impossible task for Binh Dinh FC. In addition to having a much stronger force, Hanoi FC also has to fight so that its "brother" Da Nang can stay in the league.
Even if they win, Binh Dinh cannot have the right to decide if Da Nang defeats SLNA at home in the match at the same time. Remember that SLNA has already secured their place in the league and does not need to field their strongest squad against Da Nang to save their troops for the 2024-2025 National Cup semi-final at Vinh Stadium against B.Binh Duong Club 4 days later.
Defeating the host SLNA will not only help Da Nang FC escape direct relegation but also dream of staying in the league without having to play in the play-off if Quang Nam loses to HAGL. At that time, the two teams will have the same number of points but Da Nang FC will stay in the league due to having a better record in the head-to-head matches. Therefore, Da Nang FC will not miss this opportunity. It will only be difficult for Binh Dinh FC when the players no longer have enough confidence to fight.

Binh Phuoc Club play-off
On the evening of June 21, Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc Club defeated Long An 3-0 at home in the final round of the 2024 - 2025 First Division, thereby winning the runner-up position and a place in the play-off match with the second-to-last team of the 2024 - 2025 V-League to win the right to participate in the 2025 - 2026 V-League.
PVF-CAND Club, despite winning Dong Nai 3-0 in the match at the same time, is still only ranked 3rd, 1 point behind its opponent.
