CAHN vs PVF CAND 7:15 PM: Live on VTV5, aiming for 3 points.
CAHN aims for a win in Round 9 of the V-League 2025/2026 to keep pace with Ninh Binh FC, despite the absence of Le Van Do and goalkeeper Filip Nguyen. The match takes place at 7:15 PM at Hang Day Stadium and will be broadcast live on VTV5.
At 7:15 PM today, October 31st, at Hang Day Stadium, CAHN will enter Round 9 of the V-League 2025/2026 with a clear objective: 3 points to continue chasing Ninh Binh FC. The match will be broadcast live on VTV5.
The setting before kick-off.
CAHN currently has 17 points, 3 points behind Ninh Binh FC but with one game in hand. This is a crucial period for Coach Polking's team to accumulate points before having to divide their resources between two international competitions: the AFC Champions League Two and the Southeast Asian Club Cup.
Conversely, PVF-CAND only has 7 points. The difference in squad quality and experience is real, but a draw at Hang Day Stadium would still be considered a positive surprise for coach Thach Bao Khanh's team.
The measure of CAHN's character.
In the previous round, Hanoi Police defeated Ho Chi Minh City Police 1-0 in the derby match despite being down to ten men from the 21st minute (Le Van Do received a red card). This narrow victory while playing with ten men demonstrated the capital team's ability to manage the game and their long-term resilience.
Against PVF-CAND, personnel difficulties remain: Le Van Do is suspended and goalkeeper Filip Nguyen is absent due to injury. The responsibility for deciding the game will fall on the striker duo considered "the best in V-League currently" according to internal expectations: Leo Artur and Alan. They are the cornerstone for CAHN to realize their goal of 3 points, especially as the upcoming schedule demands careful rotation.
PVF-CAND and the lessons learned from the loss to Ninh Binh.
PVF-CAND recently lost 1-3 to Ninh Binh at home, despite taking the lead. This scenario exposed their inexperience in managing their advantage. Nevertheless, the match at Hang Day Stadium presented an important opportunity for young players like Xuan Bac, Thanh Nhan, and Hieu Minh to hone their skills. Simply holding firm and making good use of transitional moments would have been an encouraging result for the visiting team, even if they had only managed one point.
Impact on the race
With 17 points and a game in hand, CAHN understands that a victory against PVF-CAND will help them maintain their pursuit of Ninh Binh FC. In this phase of accumulating points before unleashing their full potential in continental and regional competitions, every home win at Hang Day Stadium has double significance: it creates a safe distance from the chasing pack and reduces the pressure of rotating their squad.
