With both teams having 14 points in the standings, Hanoi Police FC and Ho Chi Minh City Police FC are preparing for a crucial derby match between the two clubs. The winner of this match will consolidate their third position in the V-League standings.
Hanoi Police is one of the three remaining teams that have yet to lose a match. Along with Ninh Binh Club and The Cong - Viettel , the team under the leadership of coach Alexandre Polking is showing the potential of a championship contender, having won 4 matches, drawn 2, and sitting third in the standings.
The stability of the Hanoi Police
That's a commendable achievement for a team as busy competing in multiple competitions as Hanoi Police. Besides the V-League, the team, under coach Polking's leadership, also had to spread its resources across the AFC Champions League Two (Asian Cup C2) and the ASEAN Club Championship (Southeast Asian Cup).
Hanoi Police FC shows no signs of giving up on the V-League. That motivation is what gives Polking's team their strength at this time. Although their squad is depleted by injuries, their stable depth of players is not a problem for this team.
Facing Ho Chi Minh City Police, Hanoi Police will be without goalkeeper Nguyen Filip, defender Bui Hoang Viet Anh, and Vu Van Thanh. However, with the signing of Adou Minh, coupled with the "revival" of Tran Dinh Trong, Hanoi Police's defense remains very solid.
The stability of Hanoi Police's midfield and attack is something their opponents should be wary of. With Nguyen Quang Hai as the heart of their game, the mobility of Le Van Do, the youthful energy of Nguyen Dinh Bac, and the relentless attacking prowess of foreign player Alan Sebastiao, Hanoi Police's offense is always ready to threaten any goal.

What will the Ho Chi Minh City Police use to stop the Hanoi Police?
Under the guidance of coach Le Huynh Duc, Ho Chi Minh City Police FC is showing commendable progress in the standings with 4 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. Notable results include a 2-1 victory against the historically successful Hanoi FC and a 0-0 draw against the reigning champions Nam Dinh .
The 0-0 draw against Ha Tinh in round 7 might be a bit disappointing for Huynh Duc's team, but it also extended their unbeaten streak to five consecutive matches so far.
The Ho Chi Minh City Police team brings a relatively young squad to Hang Day Stadium, with the addition of many quality domestic players, including striker Nguyen Tien Linh, who has scored three goals for the team. This will be a source of hope for the Ho Chi Minh City Police team in their assault on the Hanoi Police team's stronghold.
The Ho Chi Minh City Police FC will most likely opt for a defensive counter-attacking style of play. To earn points, they need to improve on avoidable mistakes in their defense and avoid conceding regrettable goals like those they did against evenly matched opponents such as Becamex Ho Chi Minh City or Song Lam Nghe An in recent rounds.
