The upcoming Round 24 of the V-League 2025-2026 season is poised to be a dramatic climax, deciding the fate of multiple teams in a nail-biting conclusion to the league. For Ninh Binh, the focus is on solidifying their third-place standing against Cong An Ho Chi Minh City. A victory is essential to maintain their medal aspirations, especially with Hanoi FC closing in. Coach Bae Ji Won's squad, buoyed by recent wins and the form of key players like Geovane Magno and Nguyen Tai Loc, will be looking to secure a crucial three points at home.
Meanwhile, the relegation battle intensifies as SHB Da Nang faces Hai Phong in a must-win encounter. With both teams locked at 17 points, this match is a direct fight for survival. Da Nang, playing at home, carries the heavier burden of a potential drop, especially with striker Vo Nguyen Hoang suspended. Their "survival instinct" will be put to the ultimate test, as a win could provide a dramatic escape from the relegation zone with only two rounds remaining. Hai Phong, having secured their league status, appears less motivated, having won only once in their last five matches.
The V-League's unpredictable nature, especially in the final rounds, always promises excitement. The match between Thanh Hoa and Hoang Anh Gia Lai also carries significant weight, with Thanh Hoa needing just two more points to be safe, while Gia Lai remains anxious with only 22 points. The theoretical relegation duel between Da Nang and PVF-CAND could be disrupted by unexpected results, making every point crucial for teams like Gia Lai. This round truly encapsulates the passion and high stakes of Vietnamese football.
