On November 19, round 9 will kick off with three exciting matches: Quang Nam Club – Hanoi (5 p.m., Hoa Xuan Stadium, with VAR), SLNA Club – The Cong Viettel (6 p.m., Vinh Stadium, with VAR) and Hai Phong Club – HAGL (7:15 p.m., Lach Tray Stadium, with VAR). These promise to be real battles between clubs at the bottom and clubs hungry for victory to compete for the top spot.
Pham Ly Duc and his teammates at HAGL need to get 3 points on the field of Hai Phong Club to keep the hope of shortening the gap with the top team.
Quang Nam Club is still struggling in the bottom group with only 2-3 points difference. Coach Van Sy Son and his team have not been able to break away as in the last 5 matches they have drawn 4 and lost 1. Continuing to take advantage of home field to earn 3 points is Quang Nam's goal, but their opponent is Hanoi Club, who is full of excitement and confidence after an extremely important victory in round 8.
SLNA Club welcomes Viettel The Cong Club, which is also expected to be very tense. The Nghe An team is currently only 1 point above the bottom of the table and has just made changes in the coaching chair to find a way to "change their luck". Viettel The Cong Club is playing "hot" with 2 consecutive wins, but surprisingly in the last 3 rounds they only earned 2 points (2 draws, 1 loss), making the path to the top 3 become bumpy. Coach Duc Thang and his team really want 3 points, but they have to be very wary of the hidden strength of the young home team.
VAR appeared at 6 stadiums in round 9, except Ha Tinh stadium.
Hai Phong FC, who have not known how to win, will have to find their first win when hosting HAGL FC. The home team is hungry for a win to escape the bottom group, before the tournament takes a break to create good psychological momentum. The port city team is still playing very "quality" but has not won yet (4 draws, 4 losses). The opponent HAGL has not been really stable in recent rounds when losing to B.Binh Duong 1-4, winning against CAHN FC 1-0 but losing to HL Ha Tinh 0-1. This instability could be the key for coach Chu Dinh Nghiem to find the first win for Hai Phong.
On November 20, round 9 will have 4 remaining matches and the highlight will be the match between Binh Duong Club and Nam Dinh Club (6pm, Binh Duong Stadium, with VAR). The home team is aiming for victory to compete for a top 3 finish. However, the recent form of coach Hoang Anh Tuan's players is not really stable (just won 4-1, then drew and lost consecutively). On the other hand, Nam Dinh Club is very excited and energetic when they scored 8 goals in just the last 2 matches. This is definitely an exciting match between ambitious teams with high goals.
Binh Duong Club and have a big match with Nam Dinh Club at home
At Hang Day Stadium, CAHN Club returns home to seek victory against Binh Dinh Club (19:15, with VAR). The pressure is weighing heavily on CAHN Club after 2 recent losses, against two opponents rated lower. This situation forces Coach Polking to seek victory against Binh Dinh Club to relieve the pressure, avoiding unpredictable consequences later. The team from the land of Vo is in quite good form when in the last 4 matches they drew 2, won the last 2 consecutive matches (both scores 1-0), jumping up to the middle of the rankings.
The confrontation between the top and the bottom in this round is the match between Thanh Hoa Club and Da Nang Club (6 p.m., Thanh Hoa Stadium, with VAR). The team from the Han River faces a huge challenge when their opponent Thanh Hoa is currently at the top of the rankings, with an unbeaten streak of 7 consecutive matches (the only loss was from round 1).
The remaining match of round 9 is the match between Ha Tinh Club and Ho Chi Minh City Club (5 p.m., Ha Tinh Stadium). Ha Tinh Club is the only team that has not been defeated so far and they certainly want to extend their record when welcoming Ho Chi Minh City Club. On the away team side, coach Thanh Phuong and his team are also excited after having a "golden" victory over CAHN Club in round 8. The match at Ha Tinh Stadium does not have VAR.
