Hanoi Police FC dominates V-League with a record points difference.

The V-League 2025-2026 championship race is witnessing a strong surge from Hanoi Police FC (CAHN). After the matches in round 14, the police team not only consolidated their leading position but also created a scenario where the championship title seems firmly within their grasp thanks to their consistent performance and the continuous slip-ups of their direct rivals.

The dominant position and the challenge of achieving a record score.

Currently, CAHN FC is leading the league table with 35 points, establishing a 7-point lead over second-placed The Cong Viettel. However, the real advantage for coach Alexandre Polking's team is even greater. They still have one game in hand against Da Nang FC on March 22nd. If they secure all three points in that rescheduled match, the gap between CAHN FC and the chasing pack will widen to 10 points.

This is an extremely difficult record to surpass in the history of Vietnamese football, especially as the league enters its crucial stage. This incredible consistency has made CAHN FC the only team to maintain an unbeaten streak of 13 matches since the start of the season. This demonstrates the players' ability to control the game and their composure in key moments.

The depth of the squad and the tactical imprint of coach Polking.

CAHN FC's strength lies not only in its statistics but also in its superior squad depth compared to the league average. Their team combines top-class domestic players such as goalkeeper Nguyen Filip, midfielder Quang Hai, and center-back Viet Anh, with top-quality foreign players like Leo Artur and Alan Grafite. This balance across all three lines allows coach Polking ample flexibility in rotation and different approaches to matches.

After three years in charge, coach Alexandre Polking has successfully built a stable ball-control tactical system. CAHN's current playing style is highly assertive and very fluid in attacking situations from their own half. Another important factor helping the team maintain high performance is their early exit from cup competitions. This inadvertently becomes an advantage, as the players can focus all their physical and mental resources on the single V-League competition, avoiding the overload often seen in teams that have to spread their resources too thin.

The competitors are running out of steam.

In contrast to the stability of CAHN FC, the teams in the chasing group are showing many problems with consistency. Ninh Binh FC, one of the potential contenders, just suffered a bitter 2-3 defeat against Nam Dinh right at Thien Truong Stadium. This loss caused them to drop to third place and they are now 8 points behind the leader.

Meanwhile, although The Cong Viettel has risen to second place after winning the Hanoi derby, doubts remain about their ability to maintain their stamina in the long run. The team consists of many promising young players but lacks the necessary experience, leading to frequent and regrettable losses in crucial matches.

The crucial stage that determines the champion.

The upcoming fixtures will be the final test to prove the mettle of CAHN FC. In the next four rounds, Coach Polking's team will face strong opponents such as Hanoi FC, Ninh Binh FC, and have two direct confrontations with Da Nang FC. This is considered a pivotal period for CAHN FC to finalize the championship race.

If they can extend their unbeaten streak to 17 matches after this series, there's a high chance CAHN FC will officially clinch the championship trophy several rounds early. With their current confidence and strength, the police team's solo run to the finish line is becoming the most likely scenario in this V-League season.
