V-League 2025-2026: Relegation Scenarios for Final Round

The final round of the V-League 2025-2026 season is set for a dramatic conclusion as three clubs – Da Nang, PVF-CAND, and Becamex Binh Duong – fight to avoid relegation. All three teams are currently level on 21 points, making the upcoming matches crucial for their survival in Vietnam's top football division.

Da Nang holds the most favorable position, controlling their own destiny. A victory at home against Dong A Thanh Hoa would guarantee their safety with 25 points, regardless of other results. The team has shown improved form, earning 8 points from their last four matches without a loss, giving them momentum heading into the decisive game. Their home advantage and the fact that their opponent has no further objectives could further bolster their chances.

Becamex Binh Duong, however, faces significant anxiety. Their primary concern is their poor head-to-head record against the other relegation contenders. If multiple teams finish with the same number of points, Becamex Binh Duong would be relegated due to this tie-breaker. Their task is to defeat Hoang Anh Gia Lai away while hoping that both Da Nang and PVF-CAND fail to secure wins.

PVF-CAND will play away against Song Lam Nghe An, a team that has already secured its league status and is expected to give opportunities to younger players. This presents a potential pathway for PVF-CAND to secure a victory. The scenario where all three teams win is entirely possible, which would see Becamex Binh Duong relegated, PVF-CAND enter a playoff match against the runner-up of the First Division (Becamex Bac Ninh), and Da Nang narrowly escape.
