In the sprint stage, Nam Dinh Club will face many difficulties in defending the "throne" when chasing teams such as Hanoi Club, The Cong Viettel and Hanoi Police gradually shorten the point gap on the rankings.
The 1-1 draw against Ho Chi Minh City FC on April 13th caused the Southern team's plan to accelerate to a deadlock. Nam Dinh still leads the rankings but is only 4 points ahead of Hanoi FC and 5 points ahead of The Cong Viettel. In the next rounds, coach Vu Hong Viet's team will face 4 tough opponents: Hanoi FC, Binh Duong, Thanh Hoa and Ha Tinh.
Nam Dinh has a high-quality foreign squad and a sharp attack, but is running out of defensive personnel. The "storm" of injuries has caused Nam Dinh's squad to fall into a patchwork state, unable to meet professional requirements when competing. Therefore, Mr. Vu Hong Viet and his team have lost many regrettable points since the beginning of 2025, including draws against bottom-ranked teams such as Binh Dinh and Ho Chi Minh City Club.

At present, Hanoi has become a "heavyweight" candidate to compete for the V-League title with Nam Dinh when the capital team maintains an impressive performance with a series of 6 unbeaten matches. According to insiders, if the national team stars such as Hai Long, Duy Manh, Thanh Chung, Tuan Hai, Hung Dung... maintain high performance and do not suffer unfortunate injuries, Hanoi FC will have many opportunities to return to the leading position of V-League, a playground where they have not been able to win since 2023.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the rankings, Da Nang has almost no chance of staying in the league as they are continuously at the bottom with a gap of up to 6 points compared to the team above. Even goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung is no longer confident in his team's ability to stay in the league, although he said the whole team is trying their best.
