Which club will have to play the play off?

SHB Da Nang

Of course, SHB Da Nang is the most disadvantaged team at the moment. After 21 rounds, the Han River team is at the bottom of the table with only 14 points, 5 points away from the position "qualified" to play in the relegation play-off, while having played 1 more match.

Coach Le Duc Tuan's team has made a lot of progress recently. They have earned 5 points despite having to face strong teams such as Becamex Binh Duong, Thep Xanh Nam Dinh orEast Asia Thanh HoaHowever, in the last match, SHB Da Nang suffered a heavy 6-0 defeat. This will be a big mental shock for coach Le Duc Tuan's students.

The advantage for the Han River team in this relegation race is a favorable schedule. In the remaining 4/5 matches, they only have to face teams at the bottom of the rankings. Of which, there are 3 home matches against Quy Nhon Binh Dinh, Quang Nam Club and Song Lam Nghe An. These will be the reverse finals of SHB Da Nang to decide their fate in this year's season.

Quy Nhon Binh Dinh

2 wins in the last 3 matches have helped Quy Nhon Binh Dinh shorten the gap with Song Lam Nghe An to 1 point. Even the team from the land of Vo has played 1 match less so it is completely possible to rise up.

However, the difficulty for coach Bui Doan Quang Huy's team is the difficult match schedule. They have to face strong teams such as The Cong Viettel, Dong A Thanh Hoa, Cong An Ha Noi or Ha Noi Club. The most important will be the reverse final match against SHB Da Nang at Hoa Xuan Stadium.

Therefore, if they do not get good results in these matches, Quy Nhon Binh Dinh will likely be in danger.

Lam River Nghe An

Easier than Quy Nhon Binh Dinh but their match scheduleLam River Nghe Analso face many difficulties. The Nghe An team will have to welcome 3 opponents in the top 4 on the V.League rankings. They are Hanoi Club, Hong Linh Ha Tinh and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh. Although playing at home for 2/3 of these matches, Song Lam Nghe An will have to try very hard to gain points against these candidates for the championship.

If they can get points in the above matches, the Nghe An team will be very confident to enter the reverse finals of the season against Hoang Anh Gia Lai and SHB Da Nang. These will be the key matches to decide the successful relegation of coach Phan Nhu Thuat's team.

Quang Nam Club

Quang Nam Club has a similar schedule to Song Lam Nghe An. The only difference is that they have 1 more point than Nghe An and have 1 match left to play.

However, having to meet 3/6 teams in the top group of the rankings and having 2 away matches in the reverse finals, coach Van Sy Son and his team will have to try their best to be able to get a safe position. Especially when, in the last 4 matches, Quang Nam Club only had 2 draws and 2 losses.

With a tight gap in points on the rankings, along with an unpredictable schedule, this year's relegation race will continue to be extremely attractive and fierce. Most likely, until the last round of matches.V.LeagueOnly then can relegation be determined and the team must participate in the relegation play-off.
