Which runners-up teams will be eliminated from the national U.19 tournament finals?

The result is in 5 tables.

The U.19 national tournament on the afternoon of January 27 had specific results: PVF-CAND lost to Nam Dinh 0-1 and Hanoi won The Cong Viettel 1-0 (by Le Tri Phong), officially determining the first and second positions of group A. Both The Cong Viettel and Hanoi had 16 points, while PVF-CANF had only 11 points, ranked third, and was definitely eliminated.

Both coach Dang Thanh Phuong and his team (against Dao Ha Sports Center in the final match on January 29) and coach Pham Minh Duc and his team (against Nam Dinh in the final match on January 29) are more than capable of pocketing 3 more points. Because in the first leg, The Cong Viettel beat their opponents 6-0 and Hanoi won 4-0, it is likely that both teams will have 19 points, officially winning the first and second places in Group A and will certainly participate in the final round.

At that time, The Cong Viettel will be at the top of the group because they directly beat Hanoi 4-0 in the first leg, while the team that ranked third last season will be in second place but will also be among the teams with the highest second place points to be in the top 12 of the final round. One of the two teams, The Cong Viettel or Hanoi, can only lose their place if they lose to a weaker team and have lost heavily in the first leg, but this is unlikely to happen in reality.

U.19 The Cong Viettel is sure to top Group A

Similarly in group B, the two tickets to the final round are in the hands of PVF (19 points) and Dong A Thanh Hoa (16 points). Both won easily in the match on January 27 when PVF of coach Nguyen Duy Dong defeated Luxury Ha Long 5-0 and the defending champions beat Hong Linh Ha Tinh 3-1.

This result helps both teams leave the third-placed team, Hanoi Police, far behind (10 points). In the final round on January 29, both PVF and Dong A Thanh Hoa have the ability to increase their scores when meeting U.19 Hanoi Police and Luxury Ha Long. In the first round, PVF won U.19 Hanoi Police 3-1 and Dong A Thanh Hoa won Luxury Ha Long 2-0, so it is almost certain that there will be no surprises. Even if PVF loses to U.19 Hanoi Police, coach Nguyen Duy Dong and his team will still be at the top of the table and go straight to the final round because they have a better head-to-head record than Dong A Thanh Hoa (if they have the same number of points). Thanh Hoa only needs 1 point to be in the top 12 to hopefully defend their championship title.

In group C, Song Lam Nghe An lost 1-2 to host Hue but because Da Nang tied Quang Nam 2-2. The Song Han team only had 10 points, far behind the ancient capital team (14 points) and the Nghe An team (16 points), so they were officially eliminated. The first and second places were definitely for coach Nguyen Huy Hoang and his team and coach Duong Cong Quoc.

In the final round on January 29, Hue will meet the bottom team Quang Ngai (first leg won 6-0) and Song Lam Nghe An will meet Quang Nam, who have also lost hope (first leg won 2-1), so 3 points for these two teams is almost certain. At that time, Song Lam Nghe An will be the top team and Hue will be second with 17 points (current goal difference is +10), so the chance of reaching the final round is still very high. Song Lam Nghe An will only lose the top position if they lose to Quang Nam. If they draw, the Nghe team will have the same number of points as Hue (if Hue wins Quang Ngai), then the first or second place in the group will depend on the goal difference and the fair play index (because SLNA and Hue won each other 2-1 in both rounds). And even with 17 points, the chance of both teams reaching the final round is still very high.

Group D, LP Bank HAGL won their 7th consecutive match (beat Kon Tum 3-0) to have 21 points, the most certain to enter the final round. Coach Dang Dao's Khanh Hoa currently has 16 points, ranked second and will meet HAGL in the final match on January 29. If they win or draw, the coastal city team will definitely enter the final round. If they lose, the hope of a place is very slim because despite the high goal difference, Khanh Hoa can still be eliminated at the last minute if Group F has 2 teams participating in the final round, including the team most likely to be the host.

HAGL is too strong with 7 consecutive wins

Group F was also decided when Phu Yen beat Dak Lak 3-0 and the host Binh Phuoc beat Lam Dong 2-1. With this result, Phu Yen has 15 points and Binh Phuoc has 14 points, definitely the second best in the group. The last match on January 29, Phu Yen meets Lam Dong and Binh Phuoc meets Tay Ninh, and both teams won 4-0 in the first leg, so they will easily pocket 3 points. At that time, Binh Phuoc with 17 points ranked second in the group will have to compare the secondary index with Hue and possibly Khanh Hoa to compete for the last second place in the group to enter the final round.

U.19 Binh Phuoc, who reached the quarter-finals in 2023, is hoping to qualify for the finals.

The top 5 rankings have been decided after 9 rounds.

Group F will have the final round host and Group G will have only 1 team.

With the results of the two matches, Long An drew 0-0 with Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Ho Chi Minh City beat Dong Nai 3-1, the temporary rankings of this table are: 1/ Binh Duong (15 points), 2/ Ho Chi Minh City (13 points), 3/ Long An and Ba Ria-Vung Tau (both 11 points). Thus, Binh Duong is sure to be ranked first or second in the table regardless of the result of the final match on January 29 with Ba Ria-Vung Tau. And U.19 Ho Chi Minh City must at least draw with Long An to finish second behind the team from Thu Dau Mot. But then, with 14 points, the ticket for the second team in the table will almost be closed before the eyes of coach Lu Dinh Tuan and his team. Even if Ho Chi Minh City must win against the opponent who held them to a 1-1 draw in the first leg, with 16 points, if they finish second, the chance of reaching the final round is not high.

U.19 Ho Chi Minh City team is waiting for luck

But the door can open for Ho Chi Minh City if they win against Long An and Binh Duong does not win against Ba Ria-Vung Tau. At that time, if Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong have the same points, coach Lu Dinh Tuan and his team will be on top due to better head-to-head record. This possibility is possible because if Binh Duong still intends to host the final round, their second place in the table with less than 16 points will still ensure a place in the top 12 as hosts and push the second place to be eliminated to Khanh Hoa (if they do not get points against HAGL) or a second place team that stumbles at the last minute.

U.19 Becamex Binh Duong played well in group F

In Group G, with the result that Dong Thap won An Giang 1-0 and Tien Giang won Vinh Long 3-0, only the top team of this group will enter the final round because the second-placed team with the highest score only has 14 points, the lowest among all the second-placed teams. Dong Thap currently holds 99% of the final round tickets, only needing to draw Vinh Long in the last match. But if coach Trang Van Thanh and his team lose the match, the home team Tien Giang will win the ticket if they beat Can Tho. At that time, they will have the same score but the team from Song Tien will have more points to face Dong Thap.
