V-League 2023: VPF closely examines the final round of the relegation race

The two notable matches are Ho Chi Minh City FC vs Binh Duong at Thong Nhat Stadium, and Khanh Hoa vs Da Nang at Nha Trang Stadium. The Han River team is currently at a disadvantage because they only have 11 points, 3 points behind the two teams above them, Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong. Da Nang has a goal difference of -10 while Ho Chi Minh City FC has a goal difference of -11, so the team led by coach Pham Minh Duc will stay in the league if Binh Duong wins Ho Chi Minh City FC, and Da Nang wins Khanh Hoa. If Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh City FC draw, Da Nang will be relegated.

Therefore, the match between Binh Duong Club and Ho Chi Minh City team was closely scrutinized by the organizers. Mr. Tran Anh Tu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF), expressed: "VPF always promotes clean football and fair play, so we sent good supervisors and good referees to control the match between Ho Chi Minh City Club and Binh Duong. We will closely monitor the final round of V-League matches and will take strong measures if there is any collusion or negativity."

Speaking specifically about Da Nang Club, although they are in a "thousand pounds hanging by a thread", the team is internally unstable. Coach Pham Minh Duc's decision to let some players practice separately has created an undercurrent, so they did not play at their full potential and lost to SLNA at Hoa Xuan Stadium in the previous round.

In a "life and death" situation, Da Nang players need to join hands together on the Nha Trang field, play a good match to win. If they play their best and are relegated, they will receive sympathy from fans. On the contrary, they will certainly be lost when they fall to the first division and it will take a long time to regain the love of Da Nang fans.

In the remaining match, SLNA (22 points) will have a chance to take the top spot in Group B if they win against HAGL (23 points). The mountain town team has lost a series of key players, so it is likely that it will be difficult to stand firm in Vinh city./.
