Hanoi FC is currently ranked third in the V-League standings with 27 points after 16 rounds, 4 points behind the leading team Nam Dinh, and Thanh Hoa is ranked fourth with 26 points. Both teams want to win to continue the race for the championship.

In terms of form, Hanoi is making a strong comeback under the leadership of Japanese coach Makoto Teguramori. In the last 4 matches, Hanoi won 10 points and scored 10 goals, conceding 3 goals.

Thanh Hoa is in decline with 8 recent matches without a win in the V-League and they had to "change generals" when coach Velizar Popov left to make way for Croatian coach Tomislav Steinbruckner.

The match against Hanoi FC will be the debut match of coach Tomislav Steinbruckner, can he bring victory to Thanh Hoa?

What is special about this match is that two FIFA referees Mohamad Kamil Zakaria Bin Ismail and Razlan Joffri Bin Ali became the first foreign referees invited by the organizing committee to Vietnam to officiate in the 2024-2025 season. One of them will be the main referee, and the other will be responsible for operating the VAR room.

The match between Hanoi and Thanh Hoa at Hang Day Stadium is expected to be exciting and dramatic.
