Match review PVF-CAND vs HAGL, 6:00 p.m. September 27: Opportunity for the home team

VHO - Commenting on the match PVF-CAND vs HAGL, round 5 of V.League, welcoming the bottom-ranked opponent, coach Thach Bao Khanh and his team are determined to win all 3 points.

PVF-CAND vs HAGL performance

After a perfect start with a 2-1 victory over equal opponents SLNA, PVF-CAND is showing signs of running out of steam. In the last 3 rounds, the reluctant rookie of V.League 2025/26 has only earned 1 point, from a 1-1 draw against Da Nang .

That was a match where the home team had high expectations for the goal of winning all 3 points. However, facing an opponent who was expected to compete for a ticket to stay in the league, PVF-CAND had a hard time escaping defeat.

Continuously being pushed into a chasing situation, the team under coach Thach Bao Khanh had to rely on a goal in the 86th minute by veteran striker Hoang Vu Samson to officially snatch back 1 point.

The recent less-than-optimistic results have clearly had a significant impact on the morale of Xuan Bac, Thanh Nhan, Anh Quan...

For young players who do not have much experience in a harsh arena like V.League, losing the excitement of the main players can easily lead to negative consequences.

Quite lucky for PVF-CAND because in this round they only have to welcome an opponent in the same situation, HAGL.

This is considered a delicious opportunity for the Hung Yen -based team to bring home their second win since the beginning of the season, thereby improving their current 8th position.

Compared to the home team, HAGL’s situation is even more dire. The pre-season transfer window has taken away from the Mountain City team a series of stars who have been with the club for many years. To replace them, HAGL was forced to promote young players from the academy.

In terms of experience and level, it is clear that Anh Tai, Du Hoc, Thanh Nhan, Hoang Minh... cannot compare with the products from PVF, who have played a key role in Vietnam's youth teams. Not to mention the mettle of foreign players like Rodrigues and Gabriel also needs more time to be verified.

Before the trip to the North, HAGL was at the bottom of the table with only 1 point. The home team Pleiku was also the only team that had not scored a single goal so far.

The modest squad quality forced the coaching duo Vu Tien Thanh - Le Quang Trai to choose a cautious approach, prioritizing more on the defensive front.

In a difficult time, HAGL has just regained some confidence in victory by defeating the host Thanh Hoa 2-0 in the National Cup. However, the victory over an opponent who is also in crisis cannot say much.
