According to the Charter of First-class Football Tournament 2024-2025, the champion team will win the right to the V-League next season, the second team will play the play-off match with the 13th team in the V-League 2024-2025, which team will win This match will win the right to play V-League next season (1.5 promotions). In the opposite direction, the team at the bottom of the first group this season will drop.
Cong Phuong (right) will take a break until the end of the season 2024 – 2025
In the race to win the championship and promotion, after half the way, Ninh Binh and Binh Phuoc are now quite far away. These are also the two teams that own the most stars in the tournament. Ninh Binh has Hoang Duc, Quoc Viet, Duc Viet, Huu Tuan, goalkeeper Dang Van Lam. Meanwhile, Binh Phuoc owns Cong Phuong, Tan Sinh, Sam Ngoc Duc, Sy Giap, Ho Tuan Tai, goalkeeper Tan Truong …
Currently, Ninh Binh has 22 points, and Binh Phuoc 21 points. In the next rounds, the two parties will try to accelerate, because the difference between the first and second position at the end of the tournament is very large. Going straight to the V-League next season will help the first division championship to avoid a lot of risks, compared to having to play play-off with more experienced rivals, but the team ranks second in the first place in the first place in the first class division. Must go through.
However, the disadvantage for the top two teams is their top stars including Hoang Duc and Cong Phuong are not achieving good physical condition. Cong Phuong had to take a break in April, ie almost the end of the tournament (ending on June 21), while Hoang Duc was also gathered in his knee. This may make Ninh Binh and Binh Phuoc a little slow. This may be an opportunity for the team that is ranked 3rd PVF-CAND to shorten the gap with the leading group of two teams.
PVF-CAND is not too weak team. This team owns 2 overseas Vietnamese players who are interested in recently Ryan Ha and Martin Lo. The remaining problem is that they have improved their own form, to hope to shorten the gap with the top teams.
The anti -relegation race is very tense
Different from the race to win the championship, the race to win the relegation has a lot of participating teams. The names such as Khanh Hoa, Dong Thap, Long An, Young Ho Chi Minh City, Hue, Hoa Binh and Dong Nai are at risk of relegation, because every team is weak.
Of these, Khanh Hoa, Dong Nai and Long An almost could not attend the First Division 2024 – 2025 because of lack of funding. The battle between these teams from now to the end of the tournament will determine their chances of relegation.
Usually after only one round, the rankings of these teams will change dramatically, because their scores are too close to each other. For example, Khanh Hoa in the previous round was ranked under the youth team in Ho Chi Minh City, but only after the victory before this opponent in the 8th round, the coastal team had surpassed the youth team of Ho Chi Minh City.
Therefore, Dong Nai temporarily arranged at the bottom of the table with 4 points is not a signal too deadlock for the Southeast team. Right in Dong Nai, the Hoa Binh and Hue teams have only 5 points; Long An, young Ho Chi Minh City 6 points. If Dong Nai won these opponents in the next round, the ranking of the end of the group changed. Therefore, the race to win relegation from now until the end of the season is expected to be very tense.
