Night Wolf V.League 1-2023/24 is unpredictable after the first 3 rounds

In the 2023/24 season, Night Wolf V.League 1 quickly increased the heat right from the opening day. In addition to the teams maintaining good form, the opening 3 rounds also caused surprises because of the impressive playing style and achievements of some clubs such as Thep Xanh Nam Dinh, Becamex Binh Duong and Dong A Thanh Hoa.

Besides, there are also many names that are considered strong candidates but have not been able to shine as expected. All these factors have created a colorful picture for this year's tournament. Entering round 4, the current situation may change completely.

Many surprises happen

As the only team with an all-win record, Nam Dinh Steel Club is receiving the most attention at Night Wolf V.League 1-2023/24. Surpassing Quang Nam, Khanh Hoa and Ho Chi Minh City in 3 consecutive matches, Nam Dinh Steel's performance surprised many viewers because in the 2023 season they only finished in 5th place.

The strength of coach Vu Hong Viet and his team comes from the depth of the squad, especially the excellence of the attack. Up to now, Nam Dinh has scored a total of 7 goals, with the foreign duo Hendrio and Rafaelson contributing 3 goals each.

Another interesting phenomenon that cannot be ignored is Becamex Binh Duong Club. Having struggled to stay in the league, the team from the land of Thu has risen to hold the 3rd position on the rankings.

Despite having one less match than the other teams (the match against Hanoi was postponed to November 24), Coach Le Huynh Duc's players have yet to concede a goal. Binh Duong's defense is considered to be extremely focused, while the attack has made the most of the opportunities it has.

As the defending champion, Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) still shows stability when ranking second in the table and is still undefeated. CAHN benefits from many quality players such as Ho Tan Tai, Viet Anh, Van Thanh and Filip Nguyen. Meanwhile, the performance of their compatriot team - Hanoi FC - is considered not to be commensurate with their strength.

Despite being considered the top candidate for the championship, Hanoi FC has not found any points after 2 losses.

The purple team’s problem may stem from the heavy mentality after the difficult journey at the Asian Cup 1. The “change of generals” too many, 3 people in 3 weeks, also made it difficult for Hanoi FC to stabilize their playing style. However, all of this is just the beginning. The performance of the teams will change in the upcoming journey of the tournament.

Waiting for the Capital Trio to rise

Night Wolf V.League 1-2023/24 will return from December 2, after a break for the national team to focus on the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup. The next stage can witness the transformation as well as the stability of the participating clubs. Fans are waiting for the rise of the "three heroes" Hanoi including 3 clubs CAHN, Hanoi and Viettel.

After a difficult start, Hanoi FC has just "broken the curse" with a convincing 2-1 victory over Wuhan Three Towns in the AFC Champions League. This good news has significantly lifted the team's spirit. Tuan Hai, Van Quyet, Joel Tagueu, Xuan Manh promise to shine, bringing the purple team back to its inherent position in the domestic arena.

Viettel FC also wants to continue to prove its class. On the rankings, coach Thach Bao Khanh's team is currently ranked 5th. Despite achieving an unbeaten result, Viettel FC has only scored 3 goals. In the future, if Hoang Duc, Bruno and Essam maximize their attacking power, Viettel FC may once again be crowned after last winning the cup in 2020.

As for CAHN, the police team is in stable form and is expected to perform even better under the leadership of new coach Gong Oh Kyun.

However, CAHN Club needs to be cautious before the series of matches against Hai Phong, Nam Dinh Steel Blue and Becamex Binh Duong. These are all teams playing quite impressively at the moment and are completely capable of causing difficulties for the defending champion.

In addition to the 3 teams from the capital, the focus of attention from round 4 also belongs to the team from Thanh Nam. Nam Dinh's 3 previous victories ultimately came from opponents that were not rated too highly.

The challenge will be bigger in the next 5 rounds when the home team Thien Truong faces CAHN Club, Becamex Binh Duong and Viettel. Only by achieving good results in these matches, can the Blue Steel Nam Dinh go further in the race for the championship.
