Round 18 V.League: Hong Linh Ha Tinh welcomes The Cong

(PLVN) - Round 18 of V.League 2024/25 will witness an opening match that is considered to be exciting.

The "Hong mountain, La river" team will welcome the army team The Cong this afternoon at Ha Tinh stadium. Ha Tinh is in good form, as they just won against Binh Dinh to climb to 6th place. Meanwhile, The Cong also wants to compete for the V.League 24/25 championship.

Unpredictable developments are making the 2024/25 V.League more exciting than ever. The results of the matches in round 17 when Hoang Anh Gia Lai beat Becamex Binh Duong 4-0 after losing 1-4, The Cong were racing for the top spot but were stopped by Quang Nam at home, and then Hanoi FC went straight to second place in the table showed that anything can happen in the upcoming matches.

The earliest match of round 18 took place on Friday (April 11) at Ha Tinh Stadium, where Hong Linh Ha Tinh, with 24 points, ranked 6th, welcomed The Cong Viettel , with 29 points, temporarily ranked 3rd. It can be said that Ha Tinh quickly regained stability and certainty in its playing style, and is still the only team in the tournament to have lost only 1 out of the past 17 matches (won 4 and drew 12 matches).

The 1-0 victory at Quy Nhon Stadium in round 17 (the first win after 8 consecutive matches) further boosted the confidence of coach Nguyen Thanh Cong and his team before the rematch with The Cong - a team that is of course rated higher, especially in terms of the strength of its attack with many creative players in midfield and forward lines.

Another detail worth mentioning is that both sides shared points in the first leg at My Dinh Stadium. Therefore, with the added mental strength from the home crowd, Hong Linh Ha Tinh can absolutely aim for a match… without losing again, while The Cong will only be able to focus on aiming for 3 points if they still want to maintain their position in the top 3.
