CAHN vs PVF CAND 7:15 p.m.: Live on VTV5, goal 3 points
CAHN aims to win in round 9 of V-League 2025/2026 to catch up with Ninh Binh FC, in the absence of Le Van Do and goalkeeper Filip Nguyen. The match will take place at 7:15 p.m. at Hang Day, live on VTV5.
At 7:15 p.m. today, October 31, at Hang Day, CAHN entered round 9 of V-League 2025/2026 with a clear goal: 3 points to continue chasing Ninh Binh FC. The match will be broadcast live on VTV5.
Background before the ball rolls
CAHN currently has 17 points, 3 points behind Ninh Binh FC but has played one match less. This is a pivotal time for coach Polking's team to accumulate points before having to divide their forces into two international arenas: AFC Champions League Two and the Southeast Asian Club Cup.
On the other hand, PVF-CAND only has 7 points. The difference in squad quality and experience is real, but a draw at Hang Day Stadium is considered a positive surprise for coach Thach Bao Khanh and his team.
CAHN's measure of courage
In the previous round, CAHN beat HCM City Police 1-0 in the derby despite losing a player from the 21st minute (Le Van Do received a red card). The minimal victory in a situation of being short of players showed the ability to manage the match situation and the long-term spirit of the capital team.
Before PVF-CAND, personnel difficulties still exist: Le Van Do is suspended and goalkeeper Filip Nguyen is absent due to injury. The responsibility of deciding the game will fall on the striker pair who are considered "the best in V-League at the moment" according to internal expectations: Leo Artur and Alan. They are the fulcrum for CAHN to realize the goal of 3 points, especially when the upcoming match schedule requires rotation and calculation.
PVF-CAND and lessons from the loss to Ninh Binh
PVF-CAND just lost 1-3 to Ninh Binh right at home, despite having taken the lead. That scenario exposed their inexperience in managing advantages. However, the match at Hang Day opened up an important training opportunity for young players like Xuan Bac, Thanh Nhan and Hieu Minh. As long as they stand firm and make good use of the transitional moments, the goal of 1 point is already an encouraging result for the away team.
Impact on the race
With 17 points and one match left to play, CAHN understands that a victory over PVF-CAND will keep up with Ninh Binh FC. In the stage of accumulating points before focusing on the continental and regional fronts, each victory at Hang Day Stadium has a double meaning: both creating a safe distance from the chasing group and reducing the pressure of rotating forces.
