That is because the excellent performance of 22-year-old striker Viktor Le is helping Hong Linh Ha Tinh (Ha Tinh) fly high in the V-League.

Ha Tinh - Binh Duong : Who will shine?

After 5 consecutive matches, B.Binh Duong Club, the team that won the V-League 4 times, only has 1 point, scored 3 goals and conceded 13 goals. The disappointing results put them in 7th place with 25 points, 8 points behind the 3rd place team The Cong - Viettel after round 20.

And B.Binh Duong cannot be assured of staying in the league when they are only 9 points behind the second-to-last team Quy Nhon Binh Dinh. Therefore, B.Binh Duong must make an effort to earn points at Ha Tinh Stadium, especially with captain Tien Linh - the striker leading the "Top scorer" list with 11 goals.

In the last 6 matches, Tien Linh scored 1 goal from the 11m mark in the 1-1 draw with SHB Da Nang in round 18.

The Vietnamese team is about to have a difficult match with host Malaysia in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup on June 10.

Tien Linh's poor form is a concern for coach Kim Sang Sik as the Vietnamese team will gather after round 24.

Coach Kim Sang Sik needs Tien Linh to score and regain his form in the V-League. And that is also what B.Binh Duong needs in the match against Ha Tinh to improve their position on the rankings.

Meanwhile, the home team Ha Tinh clearly showed their determination to win all 3 points against B.Binh Duong to keep their hopes of competing for a medal alive. Currently ranked 4th with 31 points, Ha Tinh can completely achieve their goal if they maintain their current impressive form.

In the last three matches, left winger Viktor Le has scored 1 goal and 3 assists. "If he continues to perform like this, he deserves to be on the national team," coach Nguyen Thanh Cong commented on Viktor Le.

Hai Phong - Song Lam Nghe An: decisive battle to stay in the league

Both Hai Phong Club and Song Lam Nghe An (SLNA) are in dire need of points to avoid relegation after both losing in round 19. Accordingly, Hai Phong lost to Hoang Anh Gia Lai, while SLNA fell to The Cong - Viettel in a match that has been mentioned quite a lot in recent days.

SLNA is currently ranked 12th out of 14 teams with 21 points, 3 points more than the second-to-last team Quy Nhon Binh Dinh but has played one more match. And they are 5 points more than the last team SHB Da Nang.

Therefore, SLNA must score points against host Hai Phong to maintain their advantage. However, because they are only 3 points ahead of SLNA, host Hai Phong must defeat their opponent to quickly complete their relegation goal.

Not to mention, in the remaining 5 rounds, Hai Phong will face tough opponents such as Ho Chi Minh City, Thanh Hoa, The Cong - Viettel, B.Binh Duong and Cong An Ha Noi.

"If we get 28 to 29 points, we will be sure not to have to play in the play-offs. Therefore, the team must try to accumulate points with direct opponents," coach Chu Dinh Nghiem shared.

On the evening of May 2, the home team The Cong - Viettel defeated SHB Da Nang 6-0 in the early match of round 21.
