Latest V-League schedule: Hanoi is not allowed to lose, HAGL is 'red-eyed' waiting for victory

Round 6 of V-League 2025-2026 witnessed an exciting match for the top spot between rookie Ninh Binh FC and traditional team The Cong Viettel taking place at Ninh Binh Stadium at 6:00 p.m. on October 2.

The battle for the top spot in the V-League

V-League is very attractive because of the "troublemaker" Ninh Binh. Although a rookie of the tournament, Ninh Binh FC has taken fans from one surprise to another when they comfortably top the rankings with 4 wins, 1 draw and 13 points. The team from the ancient capital of Hoa Lu plays strong attacking football, scoring 14 goals in just 5 matches (an average of 2.8 goals/match). The sharp attack with foreign players Rodrigues Henrique, Geovane and the dynamic midfield led by Hoang Duc with flexible attacking play has helped coach Albadalejo Gerard's team initially reap success.

To prove their true strength, they need another victory against The Cong Viettel led by the charismatic coach Velizar Popov. The army team also has an unbeaten record with 3 wins, 2 draws, and 11 points. Unlike Ninh Binh, The Cong Viettel Club has built a solid defense to be ready to counterattack when playing away. After 5 matches, Coach Popov's team has only conceded 2 goals, so they will continue to maintain this tight defense system on Ninh Binh's field. Up front, Goncalves Vinicius and Pedro Silva are also very dangerous, forcing Ninh Binh's defense to be careful if they don't want to concede goals.

Hanoi must accelerate

At 6pm today (October 1), SHB Da Nang and Hanoi FC will play at Hoa Xuan Stadium. Both teams are facing many difficulties this season. However, in round 5, SHB Da Nang beat Becamex TP.HCM and Hanoi FC beat Thanh Hoa FC with the same score of 2-1, which temporarily helped them escape the danger zone. In terms of strength, Hanoi FC is much better than the home team at Hoa Xuan Stadium, so if Van Quyet, Duy Manh and his teammates play at their best, Hanoi FC will be able to win away from home.

Also in round 6, HAGL Club is expected to have its first victory when hosting SLNA at Pleiku Stadium at 5:00 p.m. on October 3. After 2 draws and 2 losses, HAGL is temporarily ranked 13th on the rankings. Therefore, only a victory will help them confidently continue their journey ahead. This season's opponent, SLNA, is also younger but has poor quality foreign players, and will be an opponent of equal strength for HAGL to achieve its goal. Moreover, Coach Nguyen Huy Hoang has just replaced Coach Phan Nhu Thuat to lead SLNA, and will need more time to help the Nghe An team gradually become stronger, so this is an opportunity for HAGL to take all 3 points.

Meanwhile, Becamex TP.HCM has just appointed coach Dang Tran Chinh to replace coach Nguyen Anh Duc who resigned, and will have an away match at Thanh Hoa Stadium at 6 p.m. on October 2. Hopefully, experienced coach Dang Tran Chinh will help Becamex TP.HCM transform. In the remaining match, Hong Linh Ha Tinh will meet PVF - CAND at 6 p.m. on October 3.
