In the opening round of V.League 1/2024-2025, the two Nghe An teams, Song Lam Nghe An and Hong Linh Ha Tinh, are showing two different faces.

While the team that had to play in the play-off last season, Hong Linh Ha Tinh, went through 5 rounds unbeaten (2 wins, 3 draws, 9 points, goal difference +3, rising to 4th place on the rankings),Lam River Nghe An, the team that unexpectedly won the last match of last season, "pushing" the play-off ticket to Hong Linh Ha Tinh, entered the new season with 5 rounds of matches and still did not know what victory was (3 draws, 2 losses, only 3 points, goal difference -5, temporarily ranked last, or 14th on the rankings).

The interesting thing is that in the upcoming round 6, looking at the position and strength of each team and their opponents, public opinion is looking forward to an interesting breakthrough at the top of the rankings involving the two Nghe representatives in V.League 1. Specifically, it is very possible that Hong Linh Ha Tinh from the temporary 4th position will win all 3 points at home and rise to the top of the rankings and Song Lam Nghe An at Vinh Stadium will also follow in the footsteps of their neighbors, winning their first match to escape the bottom of the table?

The basis of the above predictions comes from the strength, the rise or fall of the teams and the matches in round 6. Hong Linh Ha Tinh is clearly a team in "form" with a strong domestic team, good foreign players and a coaching staff that is very good at "reading" the game. The opponent ofHong Linh Ha TinhThe next match is Quy Nhon Binh Dinh, who are going through a crisis due to the "gutting" of key players, being penalized and injured, while foreign players have not performed as well as expected. Round 5 is played at home, but the team from the land of Vo almost lost 3 points to the young team of Song Lam Nghe An. Although Captain Van Trien will return in round 6, and may still be "more dangerous than before" as someone said, it is still very difficult for the remaining factors to do anything positive on the Ha Tinh field. Of course, Hong Linh Ha Tinh will take advantage of every opportunity, focus firepower to win another match, continue to be undefeated and rise to the top of the table.

Also because in round 6, the top team Thanh Hoa will welcome an extremely difficult opponent, Hanoi FC. The Thanh team is considered the most "rebellious" in V.League thanks to its good physical foundation, strong reserve force, head coach who is proficient in V.League and has excellent improvisation in all situations. Meanwhile, Hanoi FC with its outstanding force, although the foreign players have not played as well as expected, is still a force that cannot be underestimated. It is very likely that the two teams will hold each other back in a match with many penalty cards and many losses later. Another top candidate, The Cong Vietel, will be a guest in Quang Nam without two pillars, Van Duc and Amarildo, and it will not be easy to take all 3 points against Mr. Van Sy Son and his team. To see, the opportunity for Hong Linh Ha Tinh to rise is clear and feasible. This team just played very well in round 5 at Hang Day Stadium and certainly will not lose their rhythm or direction after a commendable unbeaten streak as many people know.

At the bottom of the rankings, the race will be just as interesting as the top group and will also involve Song Lam Nghe An. In round 6, returning to Vinh Stadium, Song Lam Nghe An will meet TP. Ho Chi Minh - this club is currently ranked 10th with 1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses, earning 5 points, goal difference -4, which is only 2 points more than Song Lam Nghe An. Currently, the TP. Ho Chi Minh team shows a completely different face compared to the time when Mr. Phung Thanh Phuong took charge last season and certainly the best goalkeeper of last season, Patrick Le Giang, will have a hard time protecting the home team's goal, while the foreign strikers will not be able to show much. The "6-point match" at Vinh Stadium in round 6 will show which team will take advantage of and exploit the advantages of domestic and foreign players, the ability to control the situation and the ability to decide the match. Public opinion is leaning towards the Vinh home team when assessing that the young Song Lam team is playing more and more stably over time, the foreign players are starting to demonstrate their specific abilities and the coaching staff's ability to read the game before the developments of important matches.

No need to calculate other matches involving the bottom-ranked teams such as SHB Da Nang or Hai Phong (currently with 3 points), if Song Lam Nghe An only wins 3 points against Ho Chi Minh City, the Vinh home team will rise to 6 points, 1 point more than their opponent, to officially achieve their wish to escape the bottom of the table. Hopefully, the young team of Song Lam Nghe An will play confidently and dignifiedly, and the foreign players will play well, everything will be within reach. What Song Lam Nghe An should have done since round 5 against Quy Nhon Binh Dinh but let slip away, will they regain fairly and justly in round 6 against Ho Chi Minh City?

Round 6 of V.League will be a round with many things to look forward to and talk about for Nghe An fans. Could it be a new page full of emotions and faith to bring fans to Vinh Stadium and Ha Tinh Stadium more and more crowded and enthusiastic?
