Where does VAR go?
The three teams currently at the top after the first leg of the V-League are The Cong Viettel , Nam Dinh and Thanh Hoa, separated by only 1 point. The teams will certainly have to continue to fight every minute to avoid being pushed down. Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology continues to appear in all matches of round 14, with interesting rematches.
V-League will not lack surprises
The opening match of the exciting round 14 is the "big battle" in Pleiku between HAGL Club and Hanoi Club (at 5:00 p.m. on February 21). The home team HAGL is gradually drifting down to the bottom half of the rankings (17 points, 8th place). The pressure is not small for HAGL when right behind them are a series of clubs gradually narrowing the gap (the play-off position that Hai Phong Club is currently holding is only 6 points away from HAGL Club), while the group above is gradually creating an increasingly greater gap.

Can HAGL create more surprises?
Hanoi FC has just introduced a new coach and is full of enthusiasm to "revenge" the 0-1 loss at Hang Day in round 11. If they still want to compete for the championship - as the ambition of new head coach Makoto Teguramori, Hanoi FC must definitely win in Pleiku.
On February 22, round 14 continues with two matches both having VAR: Binh Duong FC vs SLNA FC (at 6pm) , and Hai Phong FC vs Ha Tinh FC (at 7:15pm at Lach Tray Stadium). Hai Phong FC and SLNA FC are the names in the bottom group and they must find points, even have to win, against two teams aiming for the top of the rankings, Binh Duong and Ha Tinh.
Tien Linh (white shirt, Binh Duong Club) is also in the race for the top scorer.
SLNA Club is “reviving” after an extremely important victory against their opponent Hai Phong in round 13. This young team is ready to do the next surprise in Thu Dau Mot – where, when needed, thousands of fans can come to the stadium to “dye yellow” to support their hometown players.
Hai Phong FC, after a painful fall in round 13, is looking for a hopeful victory in this round against the undefeated Ha Tinh team. The current momentum of the away team is their strength as they maintain an unbeaten streak. Will the home team Hai Phong have time to lift the spirit of the whole team before this turning point match?

On Sunday (February 23), round 14 continues with 3 fateful matches and is predicted to be extremely tense. Da Nang Club has no other goal than 3 points against Ho Chi Minh City Club (at 6:00 p.m. at Tam Ky Stadium). The match is an opportunity for Da Nang Club to get 3 points, narrowing the gap with the teams right above, because the opponent Ho Chi Minh City Club is not superior in strength. On the other hand, Ho Chi Minh City Club also really needs a victory to get closer to a safer threshold, and at the same time "press" this opponent deep down to the bottom of the rankings.
Thanh Hoa FC has the opportunity to "collect debt" from Quang Nam FC when they meet in this round (at 6pm at Thanh Hoa Stadium). Thanh Hoa FC was racing to the top when they unexpectedly fell at Tam Ky in the make-up match of round 11. If they continue to fail, the Thanh team could fall into crisis and it is not known how it will end. Quang Nam FC is excited with the victory on February 19 and may have prepared another surprise at Thanh Hoa.
The race for the top is intense.
CAHN Club is also not happy as they are gradually drifting down to the middle of the rankings, further and further away from the top group. The loss to The Cong Viettel Club in the make-up match of round 11 on February 19 put a "thousand-pound pressure" on the legs of Quang Hai and his teammates. Meeting again in round 14 is an opportunity for CAHN to "get revenge" and erase this loss. But The Cong Viettel Club - the team occupying the top position is increasingly proving that they are a big opponent, with the strength to achieve the current position.
CAHN Club lost to Viettel The Cong Club in the first leg.
On February 24, round 14 ended with the match between Nam Dinh Club and Binh Dinh Club (at 6 p.m. at Thien Truong Stadium). Nam Dinh Club has now focused all its strength on V-League and needs an immediate victory to catch up with The Cong Viettel in the championship race. Binh Dinh Club also wants to accumulate more points to escape the bottom group.
