Hot relegation race
If Quang Nam Club had won the last round, the teams in the safe zone would have been at ease in the relegation race. However, Quy Nhon Binh Dinh created the biggest surprise of round 18, making the relegation race very hot.
Playing at home and in quite stable form, they also received Quy Nhon Binh Dinh, who had gone through a series of 9 matches without knowing victory, including 4 consecutive defeats.Quang Nam Clubare expected to win all 3 points to break away from the danger zone. The advantage is even more obvious when the home team Tam Ky quickly took the lead in the 9th minute. However, it is hard to believe that they let the team from Vo come back, winning an emotional victory right on the away field.
Even more sadly, coach Van Sy Son's team lost both matches against Quy Nhon Binh Dinh this season, accounting for half of the team's wins up to this point.
It can be said that Quang Nam Club is the "benefactor" of Quy Nhon Binh Dinh in this year's season. The recent victory was like a "stake" to save coach Bui Doan Quang Huy's team from the raging water. The team from the land of Vo not only shortened the gap with Song Lam Nghe An to 2 points but more importantly, Quy Nhon will improve their fighting spirit in the remaining rounds.
V.League2024/25 still has 8 rounds left and the gap in points between the teams in the bottom group is very close. Even teams that seem safe in the top half of the rankings such as Hong Linh Ha Tinh or Becamex Binh Duong are also on high alert. Just a series of unfavorable results, the situation can completely change in the blink of an eye.
However, the hottest names now are still names like Quy Nhon Binh Dinh, Song Lam Nghe An, Quang Nam Club or Ho Chi Minh City Club... A gap of 2-5 points can be filled and the positions of the clubs can change dramatically through each round. Therefore, the teams are not allowed to make mistakes, especially mistakes like Quang Nam Club in the last round.
In the immediate future, there will be "6-point matches" that will have a huge impact on the relegation race, such as:Lam River Nghe Anmeet Quang Nam Club, Hai Phong meets Quy Nhon Binh Dinh or Hanoi Police meets Ho Chi Minh City Club. These promise to be fierce, unpredictable and worth-waiting matches in round 19 of V.League./.
