Not easy for Da Nang Club
After two consecutive losses since the start of the tournament, Quang Nam FC will enter the match against Da Nang FC in a disadvantageous position. Although theoretically playing at home, this advantage is completely in the hands of the opponent, because coach Van Sy Son and his team still have to rent Hoa Xuan Stadium (in Da Nang City).
Ha Tinh Club seeks first win at Vinh Stadium since joining V-League
If Quang Nam Club lost to HAGL (0-4) and Nam Dinh (0-1), Coach Truong Viet Hoang and his team also lost to Ha Tinh Club (1-3) and drew with SLNA (0-0). Therefore, in the match at 5:00 p.m. today, September 29, both teams are determined to win to quickly escape the danger zone. As mentioned above, Da Nang Club has the advantage of playing in their locality and playing in front of home fans. In addition, Coach Truong Viet Hoang owns a squad with depth and quality with Anh Tuan, Quang Hung, Duy Cuong, Huu Dung, Minh Quang, Hong Son... at least once wearing the U.23 Vietnam team jersey. However, looking at how Quang Nam Club, despite having to play at the "fire pan" Thien Truong, still caused a lot of difficulties for the defending champion Nam Dinh in the previous round, it can be predicted that it will not be an easy match for Da Nang Club.
Also in this round 3, V-League witnessed the "Nghe Tinh derby" between home team SLNA and Ha Tinh Club. SLNA is currently ranked 12/14 with only 1 point after the first 2 rounds, while "neighbor" Ha Tinh is showing impressive form with 2 wins. After shocking with the defeat of defending champion Nam Dinh in the opening match, coach Nguyen Van Cong and his team defeated Da Nang Club 3-1 right at Hoa Xuan Stadium in the previous round. That is the result of a strong force revolution at the beginning of this season, when Ha Tinh Club said goodbye to 10 players and replaced them with new players with speed and fighting spirit such as Duy Thuong, Tan Tai, Sy Hoang, Tien Dat... In particular, striker Geovane shined with the first hat-trick of V-League 2024 - 2025, promising to help the team's attack transform.
The nature of the derby will put a lot of pressure on SLNA coach Pham Anh Tuan, who has very few options. Limited finances mean the team cannot have as many reinforcements as their opponents, and will mainly rely on striker Olaha, the talent of goalkeeper Van Viet, and a group of young players who are trying to gain experience in Vietnam's highest level of competition.
In the latest match on September 29 at Thong Nhat Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City Club (4 points, ranked 4th) will try to find the first victory against Hanoi Club (3 points, ranked 6th) since being promoted to V-League in 2017, after 18 matches, losing 15 and only drawing 3.
Match schedule

HAGL remains undefeated
The anticipated early match in round 3 of V-League 2024-2025 between HAGL Club and Nam Dinh Club last night (September 28) was not as exciting as expected.
Nam Dinh FC visited Ham Rong Stadium with the return of 3 players who used to play for HAGL FC: Tuan Anh, Hong Duy and Van Toan. In addition, they also put out their strongest lineup with the participation of newly naturalized striker Nguyen Xuan Son (Rafaelson). However, facing the tight play with reasonable tactics of the home team, Nam Dinh FC players hardly created any clear opportunities throughout the match. On the contrary, HAGL was the team that had the scoring opportunities in the first half when from Minh Vuong's corner kick, Marciel headed the ball against the crossbar in the 12th minute.
In the 44th minute, Minh Vuong had a quick shot from close range but the ball missed the goal by a hair. In the end, the two teams had to accept a draw in a match with no goals scored.
With this result, HAGL Club is still unbeaten after 3 rounds with 2 wins and 1 draw, earning 7 points.
In the late match of the same day, The Cong Viettel Club unexpectedly suffered a 0-1 defeat to Binh Dinh Club, who are second from the bottom of the rankings. The only goal of the match was scored by striker Alisson Farias in the 7th minute of the match. It is worth mentioning that despite playing with one more player from the 18th minute after Cao Van Trien of the away team received a red card, The Cong Viettel Club was still stuck in finding a way to the opponent's goal. In the final minutes, the home team continuously pressured Binh Dinh Club, in which the most regrettable opportunity was the situation where Wesley shot against the crossbar of goalkeeper Tuan Linh in the 90+4 minute. Winning the first match, Binh Dinh Club temporarily escaped the bottom group, while The Cong Viettel Club still only had 4 points after 3 matches.
