This is also the match that will most likely determine the direct relegation to the First Division next season. That is because if they do not win, the Han River team will surely be relegated.

Currently, SHB Da Nang is at the bottom of the table with 14 points. The opponent Quy Nhon Binh Dinh is at the bottom, 5 points ahead of SHB Da Nang and they even played one less match. That match is Quy Nhon Binh Dinh will play against Cong An Ha Noi on June 3.

After the 0-6 loss to The Cong - Viettel in round 21, coach Le Duc Tuan admitted that SHB Da Nang is now only playing with spirit. And that spirit is urgently needed to be demonstrated against Quy Nhon Binh Dinh.

"We have to be strong and fight with spirit in the remaining matches. Every match now is a "6-point match". Therefore, SHB Da Nang must try harder", Coach Le Duc Tuan shared.

The difficulty that SHB Da Nang is facing is the human problem. Indeed, both their domestic and foreign players are falling into two extremes: injury or overload. Therefore, the pressure is weighing heavily on the legs and heads of many SHB Da Nang players. With the current situation of SHB Da Nang, a draw against Quy Nhon Binh Dinh is not enough for them to think about escaping the dangerous spiral.

Despite the difficulties, the Han River team still has faith because the home field advantage helped them score points against The Cong - Viettel (first leg), Nam Dinh Club and defeat strong opponent Thanh Hoa.

Therefore, the desire to win to shorten the gap and put pressure on direct relegation competitor Quy Nhon Binh Dinh is the goal that SHB Da Nang needs to complete.

On the contrary, Coach Bui Doan Quang Huy of Quy Nhon Binh Dinh can soon decide the fate of his opponent if he defeats SHB Da Nang. At this time, the gap between the two teams will increase to 8 points. At that time, Quy Nhon Binh Dinh will only focus on the race to escape the play-off position against the teams ranked above such as Song Lam Nghe An and Quang Nam.

In this match, Quy Nhon Binh Dinh will have full personnel, while the home team SHB Da Nang will not have central defender Nguyen Duc Anh due to a penalty card.

The key match between SHB Da Nang and Quy Nhon Binh Dinh will be officiated by a foreign referee team and supported by VAR technology. Specifically, Thai FIFA referee Wiwat Jumpaoon will be in charge of the match.
