V-League 'thrilling' round: Stormy Central region, unpredictable three-way battle

Nam Dinh Club will hold a championship celebration at Thien Truong Stadium, but V-League 2024 - 2025 is still attractive to viewers because of the 2 relegation races and the bronze medal race that promises to be exciting until the last minute.

V-League is exciting until the final round, foreign referees officiate 2 hot matches

Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF) has chosen 4/7 matches at the same time in round 26 of V-League to apply VAR technology, in which the focus will be Tam Ky stadium where Da Nang FC welcomes SLNA and Binh Dinh FC faces Hanoi FC at Quy Nhon stadium.

Da Nang FC will enter the decisive "final" match in a rather awkward situation. At the "home" stadium Tam Ky temporarily rented from their neighbor, they will have to win to push the play-off spot into the hands of Quang Nam FC. The two teams Da Nang and Quang Nam are forced to eliminate each other to survive.

Coach Le Duc Tuan and his team will have to get used to the strange feeling: the "home" fans will mostly cheer for the away team SLNA because if the Nghe An team gets points, Quang Nam Club will automatically stay in the league. Coach Phan Nhu Thuat has kept some important SLNA players at home, planning to use young players or players who rarely play in Tam Ky. But it would be a mistake to underestimate the yellow team. Da Nang Club clearly understands that high price, when 2 years ago, SLNA, full of young players, won a shocking victory and pushed the Han River team down.

In the series of matches starting at 5pm on June 22, all matches will be broadcast continuously between the stadiums. In Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh Club will enter the match with the spirit of "while there is life, there is hope", trying to beat Hanoi Club while hoping that their opponents will stumble. Their chances are the lowest, but the important thing is that the team must maintain the spirit of the martial arts land, to at least have a point and leave Quy Nhon Stadium with their heads held high.

The match between HAGL and Quang Nam FC at Pleiku Arena is crucial to the tense relegation race. Ngoc Quang, Bao Toan, Quang Nho really want to win as a sweet farewell gift to express their gratitude to Gia Lai fans. Many people are speculating about the possibility of Binh Dinh FC being relegated and Da Nang FC playing in the play-off. However, the results will probably only be clear after the final whistle of the matches.

Malaysian referee Razlan Joffri Bin Ali (born in 1985) will officiate the match between SHB Da Nang and SLNA at Tam Ky Stadium.

Meanwhile, referee Muhammad Izzul Fikri Kamaruzaman (born 1995, Malaysian) will officiate the match between Quy Nhon Binh Dinh and Hanoi FC.

G AY CÂN RACE FOR BRONZE MEDAL

In the final round, Thien Truong Stadium will hold a party to celebrate Nam Dinh Club winning the V-League championship for the second consecutive time. Of course, for the team that Mr. Thien always sets high requirements for results and performance, victory is the only task assigned. The away team Ha Tinh no longer has motivation when the goal of competing for the bronze medal has slipped away after only gaining 2 points in the last 4 matches. Therefore, the scenario that many fans in Thanh Nam believe in and expect the most is that coach Vu Hong Viet and his team will close the season with a victory, the 17th victory in the V-League this season to warm up the celebratory atmosphere at Thien Truong Stadium.

The first and second positions of Nam Dinh Club and Hanoi Club are clear, but the race for the bronze medal is still quite intense, as the two clubs Hanoi Police (CAHN, 42 points) and The Cong Viettel (41 points) are very close.

CAHN Club has just announced the successful extension of Phan Van Duc's contract until 2028 - the third contract after Nguyen Filip and Vu Van Thanh - to create confidence for the next season. With that mentality, coach Mano Polking and his team will seek victory at Hang Day Stadium to show gratitude to home fans. Meanwhile, The Cong Viettel also plays at home but in Lach Tray (Hai Phong City) because My Dinh Stadium does not meet standards after hosting a concert. Coach Popov and his team will be determined to win the bronze medal as a fulcrum for a revolution in playing style next season. Although the results in the final stage are not as expected, the way the Bulgarian coach is training the young players of The Cong Viettel is very remarkable. The fact that he has a fund of trial matches and prepares the physical strength of the team with the best quality of young players in Vietnam will turn The Cong Viettel into a formidable opponent in the V-League 2025 - 2026.
