Latest V-League match schedule today: Doan Ngoc Tan makes Nam Dinh lose first place?

To serve clubs on international duty, the 2024-2025 V-League schedule has some adjustments. The early match of round 12 this afternoon is a battle to determine the top spot in the group between Thanh Hoa Club and Nam Dinh team. The defending champion will certainly face many difficulties without the services of the two brightest stars in attack, Xuan Son and Van Toan, due to injury. Nam Dinh Club just lost to Binh Duong team in the National Cup.

Meanwhile, Thanh Hoa Club is showing impressive performance. In the Southeast Asia C1 Cup, they played well and almost defeated BG Pathum United, Thailand’s top team. Pillar Doan Ngoc Tan also played extremely energetically, scoring 1 goal despite having to work hard in the AFF Cup 2024. The gap between Nam Dinh and Thanh Hoa Club is only 1 point. If they take good advantage of the time when the opponent does not have the strongest squad, coach Popov and his team will take the top spot in the V-League.

V-League is thrilling

Round 10 of the V-League will be played this weekend. On January 18 and 19, Thanh Hoa and Nam Dinh Club faced Ha Tinh Club and The Cong Viettel Club, respectively. These are very annoying opponents, currently in the top 4 of V-League this season. If they fail, both Thanh Hoa and Nam Dinh clubs will not fall out of the top 2, but the gap between them and the chasing group will be significantly shortened.

In round 10, CAHN Club and Hanoi Club can “win” because they only have to meet the teams that are diving at the bottom of the rankings, SLNA and Da Nang. However, they must not be subjective because at a corner, weaker teams can completely surprise. SLNA has improved its strength after adding Ho Khac Ngoc and Hoang Van Khanh, and is in a hot mood after winning tickets to the quarterfinals of the National Cup. Meanwhile, Hanoi Club will face many difficulties in implementing the short football style of play that Da Nang team’s forte at Hoa Xuan Stadium. However, coach Le Duc Tuan’s team is not in good form as they were just eliminated from the National Cup despite only encountering first-place team Dong Thap.

The matches between the mid-table teams are also very attractive. Binh Duong Club needs to be careful when welcoming Binh Dinh at home. The Thu Thu football team just lost their key player Ho Tan Tai because the defender had to have surgery to treat a torn ligament in his right knee. It is expected that he will be out of action for about 9 months. Meanwhile, on Pleiku Stadium, HAGL and Ho Chi Minh City Club will compete to see which team is better at counter-attacking defense.
