What else is worth watching in the final three rounds of the V.League?

TPO - The championship has gone to Hanoi Police, but the LPBank V.League remains heated with the race at the bottom of the table. Attention from football fans may also be focused on Nguyen Dinh Bac, a striker who is maturing and showing promise of a place in the Vietnamese national team.

Hanoi Police have many advantages over the rest of the V.League, including a squad with many star players.

Dinh Bac is getting better and better.

Being called up to the Vietnamese national team by coach Kim Sang-sik to participate in the ASEAN Cup 2026 is Đình Bắc's dream, according to a recent conversation with Tiền Phong newspaper. A suspension for receiving a yellow card at the U23 Asian Championship 2025 caused Đình Bắc to miss the opportunity in the training camp last March.

However, his brilliant form in the LPBank V.League 2025/26 is opening up great opportunities for Dinh Bac at the ASEAN Cup 2026. In the last six consecutive rounds, the striker from Nghe An has scored in every match. He could even have increased that tally to seven goals if he hadn't given up the penalty kick opportunity to Alan Grafite in the victory against Dong A Thanh Hoa in round 23.

On the league table, Hanoi Police FC clinched the championship with 60 points, 11 points ahead of second-placed The Cong Viettel . Their formidable attack was their clear advantage over the rest, with Mano Polking's team scoring 55 goals, the highest among the 14 teams, while conceding only 19.

Unsurprisingly, Hanoi Police FC holds the top two spots in the scoring list: Alan (15 goals) and Dinh Bac (10 goals). Alan is leading, 4 goals ahead of second-placed Lucas (The Cong Viettel). Alan is likely to win the top scorer title, but Dinh Bac will be a particularly anticipated contender among the domestic strikers.

Below him, Do Hoang Hen (Hanoi FC) has 9 goals and Nguyen Hoang Duc (Ninh Binh) has 7 goals. Nguyen Tien Linh, once the number one striker for the Vietnamese national team, currently only has 4 goals. In terms of form, Dinh Bac clearly deserves to be given a chance by coach Kim Sang-sik.

Relegation battle: PVF-CAND and the rest

While Hanoi Police FC has already secured the championship, the relegation battle at the bottom remains intense with four contenders: PVF-CAND (17 points), SHB Da Nang (17 points), Becamex Ho Chi Minh City (21 points), and HAGL (22 points).

The fixture list is not favorable for PVF-CAND, as in round 24 they have to face a very strong opponent, The Cong Viettel, who need points to compete for the runner-up position. Statistics also show that Coach Tran Tien Dai's team is the weakest among the four teams at the bottom of the table.

Will PVF-CAND need a miracle to avoid relegation from the V.League?

However, the final rounds of the V.League recently have been full of surprises and drama. SHB Da Nang, despite having a more favorable schedule, is still in a precarious position. Last season, coach Le Duc Tuan's team narrowly escaped relegation at the last minute by defeating Truong Tuoi Dong Nai.

Perhaps this time, SHB Da Nang will once again need timely encouragement, both mentally and materially, from Chairman Hien. The V.League will become more competitive, with opportunities being more evenly distributed among the teams.
