After nearly 3 weeks of break to make way for the Vietnam national team to compete in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia, the 2023/2024 V-League will return with matches of round 14 taking place on March 30 and 31.
This is the first round of the second leg and in preparation for the 13 matches of the second phase, many teams have added personnel to realize their goals and ambitions. In this round, all eyes will be on the 3 matches between HAGL vs Khanh Hoa, Thanh Hoa vs CAHN and Hanoi FC vs Nam Dinh.
The match between HAGL vs Khanh Hoa in round 14 of V-League 2023/2024 is considered a reverse final. Because these two teams are in the relegation race this season. After a series of 4 unbeaten matches, including 2 consecutive recent victories, HAGL has pushed Khanh Hoa to the bottom of the table.
Currently, the gap that the Mountain City team creates over Khanh Hoa is 4 points. With the advantage in terms of points plus playing at home, Coach Vu Tien Thanh and his students can completely calculate and come up with reasonable tactics to win.
The history of confrontation is leaning towards HAGL when the home team Peliku is having a series of 6 unbeaten matches against Khanh Hoa. In the 6 matches mentioned above, the team from the mountain town has enjoyed the joy of victory 4 times. HAGL's most recent defeat against Khanh Hoa was in July 2018.
Meanwhile, the match between Thanh Hoa vs CAHN also received great attention from fans. Currently, Thanh Hoa and the defending champion have 22 points, competing for the championship with Binh Duong and Nam Dinh.
If they want to continue to hope for the championship, Thanh Hoa and CAHN cannot afford to lose in the direct confrontation, because then the gap between them and the top team Nam Dinh will be widened.
In the first leg of this season, Thanh Hoa tried very hard, but against a CAHN team with a better squad and better opportunities, coach Popov and his team were defeated with a score of 1-3 at Hang Day Stadium.
In this match, Thanh Hoa lost a key player when Thai Son was suspended. Thai Son is a player who played in all 13 matches in the first phase of V-League 2023/2024, so his absence will be a big loss for the home team. If Thanh Hoa does not have a reasonable approach to the match, it is possible that this team will be defeated by the defending champion.
The highlight match of round 14 is the confrontation between Hanoi FC and Nam Dinh. Currently, Hanoi FC is 10 points behind Nam Dinh in the race for the championship. Therefore, if they do not want to throw in the white flag early, the home team at Hang Day Stadium cannot afford to lose in this direct confrontation.
Hanoi FC has added quality foreign players in the mid-season transfer window with the hope of regaining their position in phase II. On the Nam Dinh side, coach Vu Hong Viet's team is showing their determination to win the championship by recruiting Tuan Anh, Ngoc Bao, Thanh Thinh and Lucas.
In terms of form and strength, Hanoi FC is weaker than Nam Dinh. However, Hanoi FC is playing at home and has a 5-match winning streak against Nam Dinh at Hang Day. Therefore, fans are promised to witness an exciting and dramatic match like the first leg.
