Exciting final round of V.League 2024/25
Round 26 of the V.League 2024/25 will decide which team will be officially relegated. All eyes are on the matches at Tam Ky, Pleiku, and Quy Nhon stadiums.
SHB Da Nang vs. Song Lam Nghe An: Not an easy match for the home team.
Both the home and away teams, Song Lam Nghe An, will be missing several players in this match. SHB Da Nang will be without two key players, Pham Van Huu and Emerson Santos De Souza, due to accumulating three yellow cards. On the Song Lam Nghe An side, goalkeeper Van Viet and Le Dinh Long Vu are also suspended.
Other pillars ofLam River, Nghe AnPlayers like center-back Nam Hai, Zaracho, and Van Huy are all suffering from injuries after the intense match against Hoang Anh Gia Lai in round 25. Even with his strongest squad, coach Phan Nhu Thuat will certainly have to rest key players to prepare for the National Cup semi-final against Binh Duong on June 26th.
This will be an opportunity for U21 players who haven't played much this season for Song Lam Nghe An, such as center-backs Phan Van Thanh, Ho Khac Luong, Nguyen Mai Hoang, Nguyen Trong Tuan, Phung Van Nam… However, it won't be easy for SHB Da Nang because the young players from Nghe An have a very high fighting spirit.
SHB Da Nang can only avoid relegation if they beat Song Lam Nghe An and Quang Nam loses to Hoang Anh Gia Lai; they will have to play in the play-off if Quang Nam does not lose to Hoang Anh Gia Lai.
Prediction: 1-1
Hoang Anh Gia Lai - Quang Nam: An opportunity for self-determination.
Quang Nam has complete control over their own destiny, even though they have to play at Hoang Anh Gia Lai's home ground in Pleiku. With 25 points, coach Van Sy Son and his players only need one point to secure their survival in the league, or simply need SHB Da Nang to fail to win against Song Lam Nghe An.
If Quang Nam loses to Hoang Anh Gia Lai and SHB Da Nang wins against Song Lam Nghe An, the team playing at Tam Ky Stadium will have to play a relegation play-off match.
Quang Nam has always been considered a very difficult team to beat, with three foreign players and one naturalized player. Coach Van Sy Son is also a very skilled strategist. The chances of Quang Nam slipping up in this round are very low, especially considering that Hoang Anh Gia Lai has no more objectives and is gradually giving opportunities to new players.
Prediction: 1-2
Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh – Hanoi: Few surprises.
Not only are Quy Nhon Binh Dinh currently at the bottom of the table with only 21 points, but they will also find it difficult to turn the tide because their opponent in this round is Hanoi FC. The team from the capital is truly very strong and has a stable playing style.
Although Hanoi had already secured the runner-up position with 46 points, if they played fairly, Hanoi's reserve players were still capable of winning 3 points against a weak Quy Nhon Binh Dinh team that was in a heavy psychological state.
The visiting team will be missing two players, Dau Van Toan and Pierre Lamonthe, but this is not a significant advantage for Quy Nhon Binh Dinh. Playing at home with nothing to lose, Quy Nhon Binh Dinh may still be able to secure a point, but that will not be enough to keep them in the V.League.
The V.League 2024/25 was truly exciting and dramatic right up to the final rounds. In this stage, all advantages and personnel preparations become meaningless, because only strong desire and high determination will help the teams achieve victory.
Prediction: 1-3
