V-League Rankings: Will the key match change the situation of the leading group?

Round 6 of V-League 2025 - 2026 witnessed the highlight match between Ninh Binh Club and The Cong Viettel. This is a match that can change the situation of the leading group.

The match between Ninh Binh FC and The Cong Viettel is considered the key match of round 6 of V-League (taking place from October 1 to 3). Meanwhile, Hanoi Police FC (ranked 2) and Ho Chi Minh City Police (ranked 3) both completed their matches on September 13, thereby not playing in the main series of matches of this round. That opens up the opportunity for two ambitious teams, Ninh Binh FC and The Cong Viettel, to create a big disruption in the leading group.

Currently, Ninh Binh FC is leading the rankings with 13 points after 5 matches, ahead of Hanoi Police FC in terms of goal difference (+10 compared to +8). Hoang Duc and his teammates have shown convincing performance with the most effective attack in the tournament (14 goals) and a diverse attacking style. Meanwhile, The Cong Viettel has only played 5 matches but already has 11 points, exactly 2 points behind Ninh Binh FC. A victory will help the army team surpass everyone to take the No. 1 position right from their opponents.

The Cong Viettel certainly does not want to miss this opportunity. With a solid defense (only conceded 2 goals, the least in the tournament), Coach Popov's team is ready to challenge any opponent. If they win, The Cong Viettel will have 14 points after 6 matches, officially rising to the top of the rankings. At that time, not only Ninh Binh will be surpassed, but also Hanoi Police Club and Ho Chi Minh City Police Club will be forced to lose their current positions. This will be a huge boost to the spirit of the army team for the rest of the season.

However, a more likely scenario is that Ninh Binh FC will take advantage of their home field advantage and good form to win all 3 points. If this becomes a reality, the new Ninh Binh will increase their total points to 16, creating a 3-point gap over the chasing group. A victory will also help Ninh Binh affirm its position as a candidate for the championship race, instead of just a "temporary phenomenon".

Therefore, the match between Ninh Binh Club and The Cong Viettel is attracting the attention of football fans and could be a turning point. It is not simply a match between two ambitious teams, but also decides the situation of the top group in the context of this year's V-League, which is having rare fierce competition.

There is still one possible case, which is that the two teams are tied. In that case, the V-League standings after round 6 will not change compared to the present time.
