V-League ends: Breathtaking relegation battle

At 5:00 p.m. today (June 22), simultaneously on 7 football fields nationwide, the final round of LPBank V-League 2024/25 will take place, with the focus being on the relegation race.

Currently, Binh Dinh is in the most dangerous situation when it no longer has the right to decide, and meets a strong opponent in the "final" match. Hosting Hanoi FC at home, the team from the land of Vo must definitely win, because if they draw or lose, they will receive a ticket to be directly relegated.

But even if they win, Binh Dinh still has to rely on luck: SHB Da Nang lost in the match against SLNA. This is an unlikely scenario.

Seemingly determined that there was no hope of staying in the league, after losing to TP.HCM in the previous round, Binh Dinh players sat down on the field in a daze. For them, the tournament had ended early.

But at this time, the important thing for coach Tran Minh Chien's team is to play their best, because even if they are relegated, Mac Hong Quan and his teammates must maintain their image.

Above Binh Dinh, SHB Da Nang will have an easier time hosting SLNA at home. The reason for this is because the Nghe An team is not strong and has already successfully stayed in the league 1 round early. If they play at their best in this match, coach Le Duc Tuan and his team can do what they want.

Even if lucky, SHB Da Nang can avoid the play-off match. That is the scenario where the Han River team wins, while Quang Nam loses to HAGL this round, then the Quang team will have to play the play-off match with the second place team in the First Division.

Of course, Quang Nam does not want to put themselves in a difficult and risky position. Coach Van Sy Son's team will definitely fight with all their might to get at least a draw in their away match at HAGL.

At the top of the rankings, after Nam Dinh Blue Steel won the championship 1 round early, Hanoi FC is sure to stand in 2nd place overall, CAHN and The Cong Viettel teams still have the goal of competing for the bronze medal. CAHN will host Hai Phong at home, while The Cong Viettel vs. Ho Chi Minh City will take place at Lach Tray Stadium (Hai Phong).
